[Advaita-l] How to become a Hindu?

[SIVAKUMAR RAMAKRISHNAN]

Pranaam,

Any one who wanted to become a Hindu should read the conversation on
conversion, with the Brahmanidhi Chandrasekhara Bharathi Swamikal of
Sringeri Saradapeetom which is available in the title "Dialogues with the
Guru".The title can be ordered from the Mutt.
Namaste.
