I really like this channel I discovered recently, called Hindu Lifestyle (on YouTube)
I like how it meets me where I am, with beginner questions as an outsider
This one is titled Hinduism and Reincarnation / Why do Hindus believe in Reincarnation?
The impact of Karma on rebirth
This is called The Hindu Concept of "God" / Do Hindus believe in God?
The concept of God as pure consciousness and pure truth.
I think many of us in the West (even those of us who read up on world religions!) have only a very surface understanding of Hinduism.
Our ideas come from history overviews, encyclopedia entries, the occasional odd documentary, and New Age materials which borrow ideas from many traditions including Hinduism and simplify them to make them understandable. Of course, this leads to understanding on a thin layer of a rich tradition, and not necessarily understanding Hinduism accurately.
For anybody who knows, does it seem this channel is portraying things pretty accurately, based on what you can see?
(Luckily the videos I posted and many of their videos are pretty short)
