My American Parent's 1st Time in a Hindu Temple *Mom Cried 🥹*

American parents are so humble and down to earth ❤ welcome to India 😊

[@iwillshowyouyourplace.]

Not everybody..i have been to US for 2 years...lot of weirdos ...they dont know thier is a huge world that exists outside of US. but like 10 percent of properly US guys are nice (thats sad) and out of that 10% , a good majority of them know about India and like it a lot.

[@TravelFoodNatureRepeat]

@@iwillshowyouyourplace. Agree I have done my masters too from university of Louisville Kentucky and my brother and sister are US citizens now 😂😂.. I know them well so said it about the parents in video and not in general 😊

I’m not talking about this parents, they are wonderful. As elsewhere you get good and bad ones. Btw, 50% of marriages in USA ends in divorce.

​@@iwillshowyouyourplace.So in 2 years u have become an expert . Some Dmk leader Indian called northern states as Guamutra means cow urine. Has any American called u that .

[@atharvasingh07]

How shanell parents respect our religion makes me feel very happy

[@vish2553]

I am not downplaying these parents and their respect. But don’t we Hindus offer respect to other religions?? This becomes special only because they are whites, let’s get over this.

[@Vidyasagarbb]

@@vish2553 well, Not true for me. I feel the same feeling when african blacks respect our culture. Have seen many videos of how africans adapt Hindu religion. Second reason he would have said so is bcoz most christians we come across tend to carry their religious intolerance on other religions & treat them as pagans which is derogatory word in intolerant sense of christianity.

[@sillyisfree]

@@Vidyasagarbb Same with me! I love how people from different culture love ours!

[@singh88920]

But when you will accept Christian's

[@Vidyasagarbb]

[@charanbir]

Honestly Bill is the best. I can imagine how he feels.. probably very confused about all the rituals but he's been open minded and willing to experience a new culture. I'm Sikh and also new to seeing all these rituals I didn't know existed. Bill you the best man . Genuinely a humble person

[@miseera2589]

Even Sikhs celebrate rakshabandhan, Diwali and Holi. Well I married to a Sikh hence I know it.

[@charanbir]

@@miseera2589 yes we do. I was just talking about the different rituals and ceremonies

[@adityajoies]

I'm a Hindu and probably went to hundreds of temples in south India. This is the first time I'm seeing this type of ritual performed. Even I'm amazed by the diversity within Hinduism.
