[ India Today ] Chinese Hindu family shares their story of faith and harmony in video from Singapore

A Chinese Hindu family in Singapore has shared their unique journey of faith and harmony in a video that has gone viral. Estella and her grandmother, Mdm Tan, describe how their family embraced Hinduism despite being part of a predominantly Chinese community. The family’s connection to Hinduism began with Estella’s grandfather, who started visiting a temple with his Hindu friends. Over time, they established a home temple, preserving the deities and traditions even after their village was demolished.

The video, originally posted by the Singapore Kindness Movement, highlights the family’s integration into the Hindu community and their acceptance by neighbors of different faiths. Estella mentions that their home temple has become a place of belonging and connection, where they celebrate Hindu festivals and maintain strong bonds with their neighbors. Mdm Tan shares how she has made many Indian friends and communicates with them through gestures due to the language barrier.

Despite some challenges in understanding their religious identity, the family feels a special connection through their shared faith. The video emphasizes the themes of cultural integration, acceptance, and the harmonious coexistence of different religious beliefs.
