(Further information: Hindu Temple Society of North America) The reception of Hinduism in the Western world begins in the 19th century, at first at an academic level of religious studies and antiquarian interest in Sanskrit.Only after World War II does Hinduism acquire a presence as a religious minority in western nations, partly due to immigration, and partly due to conversion, the latter especially in the context of the 1960s to 1970s counter-culture, giving rise to a number of Hinduism-inspired new religious movements sometimes also known as "Neo-Hindu" or "export Hinduism".

  • La ricezione dell'induismo nel mondo occidentale inizia nel XIX secolo, in un primo momento a livello accademico nell'ambito degli studi di scienza delle religioni oltre che d'interesse per la lingua sanscrita. Solo dopo la seconda guerra mondiale la religione induista incomincia ad acquisire una presenza come minoranza religiosa nelle nazioni occidentali, in parte a causa dell'immigrazione, ed in parte per la conversione religiosa di cittadini europei e statunitensi; quest'ultima evenienza in particolare avviene nel contesto della controcultura degli anni '60 e '70 del '900, dando luogo ad una serie di fedeli indù ispirati dai nuovi movimenti religiosi, a volte noti anche come "neo-indù" o risultato dell"esportazione dell'Induismo".
