It is one of the oldest culture. One will get answers for all his unsolved quiries.There was one great personality called ADISHANKARA who preached non dualism(ADVAITA) philosophy which is followed by majority in India All his sayings were subsequently proved by the modern scientists now. Robert Einstein is one among them. In fact Hinduism is not a religion. It is a Dharma meaning way of living. Real Hindu philosophy talks more about nature(prakriti) and not of any individual God. However subsequent literature brought out so many Gods. Even in that they have provided Godly status to animals like, rat, snake,elephant,bull, lion etc., Hindus Revere and worship rivers, mountains, oceans, trees, planets and what not. In the whole world no other philosophy is so democratic as Hinduism. If one observes India is only the country where all religions coexist.Dalailama could find his place only in India. Here the culture is more democratic from time immemorial. You can see from the history so many people invaded India but Indians never invaded any other country. This is only country where Knowledge is respected more than the material riches. Even the top most authorities like kings in yester years, political and civil authorities bow before the Saints who have relinquished all their desires and

Hi, I cann't understand what do you mean by "HINDU CULTURE". I know about "indian culture". But what is hindu culture. There is "HINDU RELIGION", which have a very respectable image in most of the western and north-middle asian countries.
May be the culture you are refering to is what any family in India generally has. But the impression of the culture depends on the character of the individual making the community.
Thats why, Characters like Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindra Nath Tegore, ... can impart significant change to the impression of the culture. We should remember that we have the responsibility at least to carry on with that, if we don't have that kind of influence.
We, Indians, think that Western countries has some different kind of culture. But why? They also have families, responsibility towards family, they also have division between status! Only thing is most of them understand that being of your own is very essential.
If you have some misunderstanding with any western family may be you both can diccuss the issue and solve it. Best of luck!

Err. . . the most I will say is, the practises are returning to Europe soil.

If one study the Greek religion, and the ancient Baal worship in the Old testament, and compare it to the Hindu, you can draw some conclusion that they are similar.

If you know the India History, the Ayran (fairer lot, now in north Indian) came to the India via the northwest (direction of Iran), and drive out the Davidian.

Originally, the Davidian were the people of India. They were dark, and smaller in sizes. But the bigger Ayran came and drive them to the south. The Ayran also created the caste system to control them. Preserving the right of religion to Bhramin.

Look details to the religion stories of India, and Greek, u will know the link there.

So, is hindu coming into the Europe? Err. . . . I think it is making a u-turn.

First the Indian people must change. They should become more upright and have more integrity and character. They should root out corruption and show development in the economy. People judge you for what you are. They judge poorly the people who are below the poverty line. Once they have judged you poorly, they will not think differently of the ancient culture, from which you come. For an impartial observer, your present condition and position determines your past, and maybe your distant past. If they don't trust you today for your poor performance, they will definitely not trust your ancient culture.

Hindu religious/theological philosophy includes a broad spectrum of thought and thus allows for the real freedom of expression, belief and choice.
The Wise of the Vedic age have not brushed aside questions but had the intellectual honesty to debate and discuss them.
One finds positions ranging from extreme atheism to extreme theism (blind faith) in ancient literature.
The west is at present is attracted to this aspect (freedom of thought and belief) of ancient Hindu philosophy and culture.

Few solid files exist of the prepare previously the time of the Gupta empire, about 400 ad. After about this time, circumstances of sati began to be marked through inscribed memorial stones. The earliest of those are modern-day in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, though the most important collections date from various centuries later, and are modern-day in Rajasthan. those stones, referred to as devli, or sati-stones, grew to develop into shrines to the useless woman, who became treated as an merchandise of reverence and worship. they are maximum elementary in western India. some circumstances of voluntary self-immolation through both females and adult men which will be acknowledged as a minimum of partly historic debts are protected interior the Mahabharata and different works. regardless of the indisputable fact that, great parts of those works are truly late interpolations into an unique tale,rendering complicated their use for solid relationship. also, neither immolation nor the choose for self-immolation are acknowledged as a custom interior the Mahabharata. Use of the time period 'sati' to describe the custom of self-immolation under no circumstances takes position interior the Mahabarata, compared to different customs alongside with the Rajasuya yagna. truly, the self-immolations are seen as an expression of severe grief on the shortcoming of a pal. i imagine this custom would initially have all started through self-immolation, this may have grew to develop into into compelled immolation through the society.

You mean distrust? Maybe because of books like "The Genocide of Hindu Women" By Sita Agarwal
