Hinduism is essentially Indian, it never spread to the west, that's why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadhaMukunda Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 It has spread to east and to the south in his own form. To the west it hasn't spread as hinduism, but all other religions in the world are in some way a reflection of Hinduism. Rituals like agnihotra were performed by the zoroastrans, in Rome the Mitras cult was present. The bible took some stories of Krishna and asigned them to Jesus etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
