Read the story of two worlds that converge: one of Hindu immigrants
in America who want to preserve their traditions and pass them on
to their children in a new and foreign land, and one of American
spiritual seekers who find that the traditions of India fulfil
their most deeply held aspirations. Learn about the theoretical
approaches to Hinduism in America, the question of orientalism, and
"the invention of Hinduism." The book discusses: * the history of
Hinduism and its journey to America * how concepts like karma,
rebirth, meditation and yoga have infiltrated and influenced the
American consciousness * Hindu temples in North America * the
influence of Hinduism on vegetarianism and religious pluralism *
the emergence of an increasingly assertive socially and politically
active American Hinduism. Hinduism in America contains 30 images,
chapter summaries, a glossary, study questions, and suggestions for
further reading.
The collection of Ananda Coomaraswamy essays taken from several
volumes presents a full interlinking of not only Vedic texts and
their exegetical texts in the Indian tradition itself but also of
the related metaphysical texts in other traditons. The essays are
similar in character and although written on random topics bear
upon unity of thought and reflect single minded contemplation of
him. the volume opens up a new vista of interpreting the Vedic lore
This volume presents a detailed ethnographic study of rural
Paraiyar communities in South India, focusing on their religions
and cultural identity. Formerly known as Dalits, or Untouchables,
these are a largely socially marginalised group living within a
dynamic and complex social matrix dominated by the caste system and
its social and religious implications in India. Through examining
Paraiyar Christian communities, the author provides a comprehensive
understanding of Paraiyar religious worldviews within the dominant
Hindu religious worldview. In contrast to existing research, this
volume places the Paraiyars within their wider social context,
ascribed and achieved identity, religious symbolism and ritual and
negotiation of social boundaries. In arguing that the Paraiyars
help us to understand religion as 'lived', the author removes the
concept 'religion' from the reified forms it so often obtains in
textbooks. Instead, Jeremiah demonstrates that it is only in local
and specific contexts, as opposed to essentialised notions, that
'religion' either makes any sense or that theories concerning it
can be tested.

This study revisits one of the most extensive examples of the
spread of ideas in the history of civilization: the diffusion of
Indian religious and political ideas to Southeast Asia before the
advent of Islam and European colonialism. Hindu and Buddhist
concepts and symbols of kingship and statecraft helped to
legitimize Southeast Asian rulers, and transform the political
institutions and authority of Southeast Asia. But the process of
this diffusion was not accompanied by imperialism, political
hegemony, or "colonization" as conventionally understood. This book
investigates different explanations of the spread of Indian ideas
offered by scholars, including why and how it occurred and what
were its key political and institutional outcomes. It challenges
the view that strategic competition is a recurring phenomenon when
civilizations encounter each other.
Hinduism, the Truth is not a sect of a faith or a man-made
religion. The Cosmic Truth of Hinduism is non denominational and
universal and its founder is unknown. However, ancient Rishis and
Saints have nurtured and revived it into what it is today.

its traditions and culture is also linked to nature.
A diagram explaining the distribution of Cosmic energy is
explained, is given in this book. Lord Shiva is the Cosmic dancer.
It is depicted that Brahma is the creator, Vishnu the Preserver and
Shiva is in charge of evolution, for easy understanding by the
people.

rituals etc.
