Scenario

When interfaith families blend Sikh, Jain, and Zoroastrian traditions

Our interfaith family has been practicing elements from all three of our ancestral traditions—Sikhism, Jainism, and Zoroastrianism—but our teenage daughter is asking hard questions about why we 'mix everything together' instead of choosing one path, and my spouse and I realize we don't have good answers that satisfy any of us. We've created something beautiful but maybe incoherent, and now we're all questioning whether our approach has given her a foundation or just confusion.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family's well-intentioned pluralistic approach to ancient wisdom traditions is being challenged by their child's need for coherent spiritual identity.
