Hinduism Invades America - Paperback
by Wendell Thomas (Author)
Hinduism Invades America is a book written by Wendell Thomas that explores the influence of Hinduism on American culture. The book traces the history of Hinduism in America, beginning with the first Indian immigrants who brought their religion with them. Thomas examines how Hindu beliefs and practices have been adopted and adapted by Americans, from the popularity of yoga and meditation to the incorporation of Hindu deities into mainstream culture. The book also discusses the controversies and challenges that have arisen as a result of the spread of Hinduism in America, such as cultural appropriation and the clash of values between traditional Hinduism and American individualism. Overall, Hinduism Invades America provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the impact of Hinduism on American society.1930. This work is not an attack on Hinduism. It is not meant to influence American citizens by pointing to a foreign menace. Nor is it a defense of Hinduism. It is simply a study of the amazing adventure of an Eastern faith in a Western land. Accordingly, it is not a collection of curious or sensational anecdotes about a few of the many Hindu swamis and yogis visiting these shores, but an account of the serious impact on American life of Hindu philosophy and culture especially in the form of organized religion. Sample contents: Hindu movements in America; classic Vedanta; Saint Ramakrishna; Vivekananda.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
