By Elizabeth Armstrong Reed

"Hinduism in Europe and America" explores the historical presence and evolving understanding of Hinduism in Western contexts. Authored by Elizabeth Armstrong Reed, this work delves into primary sources and historical collections to offer insights into the reception, adaptation, and interpretation of Hindu traditions in both Europe and America.

With a foreword by T. S. Wentworth, the book provides a valuable resource for scholars and readers interested in the comparative study of religion, cultural exchange, and the global spread of Hinduism. It examines the early encounters, the challenges faced, and the lasting impact of Hindu thought and practices in shaping Western religious and philosophical landscapes. This exploration is essential for understanding the complex interplay between Eastern spirituality and Western culture.
