Hinduism Invades America is a book written by Wendell Thomas that explores the impact of Hinduism on American culture. The book examines the history of Hinduism in America, from its early arrival in the late 19th century to its current status as a major religious and cultural force. Thomas discusses the ways in which Hinduism has influenced American society, including its impact on spirituality, philosophy, art, and literature. He also examines the challenges that Hinduism has faced in America, such as prejudice and misunderstanding, and the ways in which the Hindu community has worked to overcome these obstacles. The book is a comprehensive exploration of the complex relationship between Hinduism and America, and is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the role of religion in contemporary 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.
