Vannakkam: The latest edition of Hinduism Today which came in my mail today has a large section on Hinduism in Europe. I haven't read it yet, but will eventually.
Aum Namasivaya
Namaste,
I picked up the latest issue of Hinduism Today in my mailbox this morning and found that the cover story is: Hinduism in Europe! Check it out.
It's the January/February/March 2014 issue. I'm not sure if it's already up online or not. I still like reading magazines the old-fashioned way!
Pranams and best wishes.

Greetings,
A very interesting article about European Hindus and Asian Hindu diaspora in Europe: click me to read.
Furthermore, the following article should be of important concern and intrigue for Western Hindus that are worried or curious about the nature of Hindu identity in India: click to read this interesting article.
(important note for the person who brought these two to my attention: thank you)
I'm sorry, but anyone trying to insult a respected medieval AchArya without any reason and making claims that the AchArya in question was "convinced against the teachings of the veda-s" solely because he/she disagrees with his philosophy, shouldn't really be attacking other individuals or accusing them of lacking vinaya. I don't want to get in an argument, but resorting to such extreme comments certainly doesn't give you the "moral" upper hand.

Namaste,
Thanks for your comments. I am sorry that the older generation has failed you. Old foggies are content with occasional pujas and putting a tilak on their forehead and declaring themselves to be Hindus. The ones with a little drive observe different festivals and come to forums like this one to try to correct some of the misconceptions, but that is about all. The resurgence/re-invigoration of the Vedic dharma has to come from the younger generation, from people like you who have the desire, can learn and articulate concepts in the language that others around you understand.
ISKCON followers have brought Hinduism to the doorsteps of the Westerners. Their devotees have been busy practicing and familiarizing others with their practices and building new temples here and in India. But, our people, instead of supporting them in the spirit of Hindu unity, never miss an opportunity to take shots at them. Kind of sad, but that is the way things are.
Allow me to present what I have brought to this forum before.
Different religions are different aspiring paths to God. But these paths are like trails on and around a mountain. Some trails merely circumambulate around the base of the mountain, others take you to viewing areas at different heights and one trail may take you to the top of the mountain for a grand and clear view of all around you. As all trails DO NOT take you to the top, so do different paths not lead you to God. It is just a misinformed statement that many of us say because we are ignorant about the different paths. Repeating something baseless a million times will not make it right.
Pranam.
