00:00You are born in the Hindu family, so you have to celebrate Diwali or did you have to learn to celebrate Diwali?
00:06Born in a Hindu family, you have a particular food habit, you know of Raksha Bandhan and Holi
00:12and you start thinking that somebody who celebrates Holi and Diwali is automatically a Hindu.
00:17How is it possible?
00:18Let's say you are placed in the US and somebody asks you, who is a Hindu?
00:22It's a genuine question, right?
00:24A foreigner asks you, who is a Hindu?
00:26What would be your response?
00:27You'll say somebody who celebrates Holi and Diwali is a Hindu, who is a Hindu then?
00:31We don't know and we don't even want to know.
00:33There is a good, definite and wonderful answer, an answer you can be proud of
00:38but we don't want to learn into that answer because that requires effort.
00:42Our Hinduism then remains very shallow and it's a thing of shame.
00:46Just your surname cannot make you a Hindu.
00:50Being a Hindu is a tremendous thing.
00:52It requires some effort, some study, some sacrifice.
