were doctors, scientists or in the computer field. Few felt any
contradiction between Hindu Dharma and modern science or between
being a good Hindu and a good American citizen. In fact I found that
Non-resident Indians (NRIs) were more supportive of their Hindu
tradition than Hindus in India, particularly those living in big
cities or working in the media.
The experience of western culture had not caused them to abandon their spiritual culture but in the long run brought them back to it. While they appreciate the freedom and affluence of the West they see its spiritual poverty. They also see that Hinduism, particularly through Vedanta, is a much more logical, scientific and futuristic system than western religions, which even in America have many groups that still espouse the Biblical view of creation with the world starting only 6000 years ago! The main problem for American Hindus is getting their children, who were born and raised in the West, to understand and respect their tradition. Western pop culture is insidious for getting into the minds of children and turning them toward a lifetime of consumerism, blotting out their finer sensitivities. Still I think if there is any religion that is diverse and rich enough in culture to overcome modern American consumerism, it is the Hindu religion!
