The presence of Hinduism and Islam is tightly woven into the fabric of everyday Indian life. We regularly see clothing that denotes the wearer's faith and walk past small and large shrines to the goddess Kali on every block.
At church our pastor talked about what separates Jesus from the multitude of gurus and gods present in India. As an Indian himself, I found his perspective particularly interesting. He brought up many good points, but I'll focus only on one: Compared with other gurus, Jesus is the only one who experienced death and returned to shed light on both life and death. I encourage you to thoughtfully consider what this means, especially as endless spiritual options avail themselves to us all.
