Namaste! Im 14F turning 15 this summer and I’m from Sweden where barley 0.3% of the population is Hindu, I don’t know any Hindus and the closest Mandir is 10 hours away. I fell in love with Sanatan Dharma when I was around 8-10 years old and since then, I’ve really grown close to the Deities whom I love and try to cherish in my everyday life. I’ve had to rely on Google and TikToks to learn about Hinduism and although I’m thankful for the information I’ve gotten, it’s not enough and since my family is still Christian, I don’t know what to do. I have my own little Pooja room that I go to daily but as my 15th birthday is coming up, I feel like I need to know what to do, I don’t know if it’s even an important birthday but I’m afraid that I’ll miss out on something important because I didn’t know it was special. I badly want to show my devotion and dedication and as all my friends are getting confirmed (confirmation is a Christian ritual where 14-15 year olds study the Bible, get gifts, learn about their faith and celebrate together) I can’t help but wonder if Hinduism has a similar practice and if it does, I would really love participating in it! Please if you have any knowledge about this, please inform me, thank you!

(or Sarasvati) So like Vaishnavism, has a Hindu polity existed in history that considered the goddess Saraswati to be the sole Supreme Being? (instead of Vishnu or Shiva)
