Hinduism
Due to Immigration. As a result of immigration from India, Hinduism in the United States is growing. Hindu communities and temples can be found throughout the United States.
Home Grown. 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.
