My Religious Experience with Hinduism
Hinduism, one of the oldest forms of religion, shares an intrinsic relationship with contemporary American society. Many theologians have acknowledged its influence on American culture since the 1950s when nationwide guru movements emerged. Hinduism’s confluence with Christianity- the largest religion in America - spiritual universalism, and postural yoga, identifies with many Americans (Richardson, 2018). Furthermore, its teachings have advanced ideological principles such as meditation, the pursuit of wealth, divinity of the self and Kama, correlating to American popular culture.
In Arizona, Hinduism is the second-largest religion after Christianity. Interestingly, my experience was, to say the least, very informative and enjoyable. I learned a great deal about its traditions and the cultural relevance of Puja, Japa, and Sanskaras rituals performed during worship. Unlike many other religions, Hinduism outwardly encourages the pursuit of material gain as a dimension of spiritual cognizance with oneself.
