Hannah Seligson: Growing up the Jewish daughter of a Hindu guru
When I was growing up I wanted him to wear a suit, and he finally did — to my wedding last October. While all the other parental figures made traditional toasts, my father offered his blessing in the form of a Sanskrit chant. My husband and I looked at each other and smiled — of course my father chanted in Sanskrit at our Jewish wedding. There was something wonderfully normal about melding the disparate parts of my life.
