Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buddhists, Hindus, and Sikhs in America explores the challenges that Asian immigrants face when their religion--and consequently culture--is "remade in the U.S.A." Peppered with stories of individual people and how they actually live their religion, this informative book gives an overview of each religion's beliefs, a short history of immigration--and discrimination--for each group, and how immigrants have adapted their religious beliefs since they arrived. Along the way, the roles of men and women, views toward dating and marriage, the relationship to the homeland, the "brain drain" from Asia of scientists, engineers, physicians, and other professionals, and American offshoots of Asian religions, such as the Hare Krishnas and Transcendental Meditation (TM), are discussed.

This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America's Place in Mythology, Disclosing the Nature of Hindoo and Buddhist Beliefs The present treatise endeavors to plainly show (with perhaps too much iteration or reiteration) that ancient accounts of America are most certainly to be found in Asiatic books. No attempt is made to account for the fact that such information exists within the covers of Chinese, Hindoo, and other volumes. Enough to show that complete accounts of our continent are actually to be met with in Asiatic literature. The present writer may, however, remark that, rightly or wrongly, he does not for a moment imagine that Asiatic priests visited America and then returned to China or India - with descriptions of our continent. On the contrary he holds that a superior, intelligent tribe (about 20,000 in all, men, women, and children) of mound-builders succeeded in escaping from the Valleys of the Ohio and the Mississippi, and even from America itself, across into Asia - where an extraordinary destiny awaited them. The fugitive host was led by a princess, born in Mexico, and also by her son, born in Arizona. Learned men well versed in the lore of Mitla, Palenque, and the Vale of Mexico, accompanied the wandering outcast nation, and it is to them that we are indebted for primary accounts of our continent. No Chinese priest discovered America centuries ahead of Columbus, and the glory of the Italian navigator remains, so far, unshadowed. But, let us turn from theories and consider actual archæological facts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Homegrown Gurus written by Ann Gleig and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, a new stage in the development of Hinduism in America is taking shape. After a century of experimentation during which Americans welcomed Indian gurus who adjusted their teachings to accommodate the New World context, "American Hinduism" can now rightly be called its own tradition rather than an imported religion. Accordingly, this spiritual path is now headed by leaders born in North America. Homegrown Gurus explores this phenomenon in essays about these figures and their networks. A variety of teachers and movements are considered, including Ram Dass, Siddha Yoga, and Amrit Desai and Kripalu Yoga, among others. Two contradictory trends quickly become apparent: an increasing Westernization of Hindu practices and values alongside a renewed interest in traditional forms of Hinduism. These opposed sensibilities—innovation and preservation, radicalism and recovery—are characteristic of postmodernity and denote a new chapter in the American assimilation of Hinduism.

Download or read book Hindu Scriptures and American Transcendentalists written by Umesh Patri and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-09-27 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this extraordinarily candid book, Umesh Patri presents a fresh reappraisal of the impact of Indian scriptures on American transcendentalism which flourished in New England in the 19th century. The major premise of the study is that other influences on the transcendentalists, such as Chinese, Persian, Sufi, Arabic, Neo-Platonism and German transcendentalism, are of less significance than that of Indian scriptures comprising of Hindu and Buddhist texts. In the writings of Emerson, Thoreau and minor transcendentalists like Alcott, Fuller, Channing, Johnson, Brownson, etc., the influence of Indian scriptures is clearly discernable. An attempt has been made here to show that Indian scriptures have not only influenced the philosophical thinking of these writers but also their lifestyle and social conduct. It also attempts to show that transcendentalism was not an isolated movement but was a part of a cultural renaissance which swept the entire nation in the wake of avid interest and curiosity in the ancient lore of other countries. Transcendentalism, it is suggested here, continues to affect the thinking of Americans and can be viewed as a continuing movement of thought in American intellectual history. This book draws attention to many aspects of transcendentalism which have not been adequately discussed so far.
