Hinduism

For more than a hundred years, American philosophers and writers, beginning with Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau (who was deeply influenced in his own philosophy by the Hindu Upanishads), have taken inspiration from Hindu thought. Since the 1960's, a growing number of native-born Americans have become interested in the study and practice of Hinduism. Prominent Hindu religious retreats and spiritual centers exist both in cities and rural areas.
