This is a simple blog to show all the interesting things I have learned about my religion.
I am not an expert and different sects have different views.

A mudrā is a symbolic or ritual gesture in Hinduism and Buddhism. While some mudrās involve the entire body, most are performed with the hands and fingers. A mudrā is a spiritual gesture and an energetic seal of authenticity employed in the iconography and spiritual practice of Indian religions and traditions of Dharma and Taoism.

My two cents.
I suggest taking a college course on Hinduism, reading about the history and politics of India and its various areas, and possibly going to a pilgrimage site before making a cultural appropriation blog on tumblr. (Or anywhere for that matter.)
I am all for defending our culture (I was one of the non-white and non-Christian kids for at least 100 miles where I grew up), but when you’re extremely rude and can’t tell the difference between Durga and Kali, it completely ruins your already weak researched argument.
Please be civil and have a solid debate.
