| TOWARDS A NEW WESTERN HINDUISM | |
| A
real American Hinduism would not be a Hinduism scaled down to the
needs of American commercialism, turned into a new fad or hype of
Hollywood or Wall Street. It isn’t merely yoga postures for
football players or for movie stars. It is an experience of one’s
Self and true nature not only in the context of the American
landscape but also as connected with the Earth, universe and the
supreme consciousness.
Hinduism honors the Divine Self in all beings and helps us develop our individual potentials organically and in harmony with all of life. That is why it can never accept any final dogma or prescribe any stereotyped creed or practice for everyone. Its goal is to help us realize ourselves through learning about the universe we live in that is a reflection of our deeper soul. As time continues this Hindu sense of the cosmic Self and world Soul will dawn on more and more people, regardless of their location or culture. It is simply the unfoldment of life itself and its deeper spirit. This will gradually transform humanity and bring us back into the fold of the universal religion beyond names and institutions. We will once more become caring citizens of the conscious universe instead of human-centered exploiters of the natural world as we are today.
