Actually if I ask myself personally..do I maintain Hindu culture?
My answer will be I dont really know.
I am living a life doing what I am comfortable with.
To a certain extent my lifestyle reflects what I have been brought up in but along the way I have discarded some practices as my understanding of life and God changed over the years.

I feel as we age we discard more and more of lifestyle practices.
I will give you a simple example..I was at my mums house today seeing my son play "Backyard monsters" in FB and I was talking to my mum.

We were upstairs and we didnt realize it was getting late and we forgot to switch on the downstairs lights.
When I came downstairs I found the house in darkness and joked with my mum saying "thank God appa is not back from his religious classes yet otherwise if he sees the house in darkness he will surely give us a piece of his mind"(my father conducts religious classes on Sundays)

When I was younger I would have thought "OMG its late and I forgot to switch on the lights sort of fear that its not good to be in darkness" but today I was cool thinking after all the light at home is to make sure we can see where we are walking and the true light is actually within me.

So everything changes as we mature and as understanding changes.

If you ask me if I worry that Hindu culture is being lost..my answer is No!
Nothing is really lost in this world..there is always a blue print of culture somewhere in someone waiting to be downloaded.

Sometimes culture is much more than language,food habits,lifestyle..Real Culture is when we realize the very purpose of our existence and that can be realized right from a Kalahari Bushmen to the Eskimo and all others who are in between.
