Have heard from SO many people "Oh, you're Hindu? VERY SOLEMN religion" - not so!!!
Here's a great Hindu joke about reincarnation: "Reincarnation??? Been there, done that!!""
And here is another Hindu "double entendre" if you will. We basically believe there is only ONE God, although we have different names for Him or Her accoring to the form they present to us. One form of God (Shiva) is Bhairava.....now then, it would help you to know that EVERY form of God has a "vehicle" (or pet, as one would say in English!). Laxmi has her "elephants", Ganesh has His mouse, etc. ANYWAY - Bhairava (who is also a form of Shiva) has His pet, who is a DOG. Now then - I thought you all would like this beautiful photo.....it must've been taken somewhere in India or Nepal and it's SO IRONIC to us. On the wall is painted the form of God Bhairava with his little dog - and.......there at same shrine is a REAL dog seated, just as comfortably as he could be. Please enjoy the ironic and also humourous photo.
