The Hinduization of America

The Hinduization of America
By Francis C. Assisi
Like so many Americans who like to play "Indian", Indian-Americans
too have been traversing America's sacred landscape without
connecting with the deeply held beliefs of its ancient inhabitants,
the American Indians.

But not anymore. They are becoming grounded on American soil. And
from Hindu temples in Juneau, Alaska, to Tallahassee, Florida, and
to Kauai, Hawaii, they are chanting praises such as this: America
vasa jaya govinda or Victory to Govinda who lives in America.

That's because there is an ongoing process of Hinduizing the
American sacred space. Hindu Americans have begun to cultivate the
strains within their own religious tradition that foster a sense of
the sacred earth through myth, ritual, ceremonies, and spirit power
that more or less reflects Native American or American Indian
cultures. Indeed, Hindu Americans would not be doing this if they
did not realize the land was sacred in some intrinsic way, something
the Native American Indians knew for thousands of years.

Now, Hindu Americans are locating, establishing and embellishing
sacred spaces in America by co-mingling the waters of the Ganga and
the Kaveri with the Mississippi and Rio Grande, and by invoking the
holy Indian rivers into the local waters. Even if this ritual is not
viewed as purifying one of all sins it is a palpable affirmation of
an emerging Hindu cosmology transplanted in America.

At the simples level there is a notion of transference – an idea
that the sacredness attached to the India's sacred rivers will
physically attach itself to the local rivers. It's a pattern that
has grown with the earlier diasporas in Malaysia, Singapore,
Mauritius, South Africa, Fiji, Guyana, Trinidad, and the later
migrations to Australia, Britain, Europe, Canada and the United
States. Perhaps the stage was set when Hindu culture spread to
Indonesia, Thailand and Cambodia in its earliest phase.

SACRED LAND

In America itself the phrase "sacred land" is used frequently, but
it's meaning remains elusive to many non-Natives, who relate to land
mostly through property lines or hiking trails. This difference
highlights perhaps the widest gulf between the two cultures – Native
Americans and European Americans. On the one hand is the Judeo-
Christian belief that humans were meant to have dominion over
nature; on the other is the belief in land as a living network, not
as fragments they could purchase. "How can you 'save the Earth' if
you have no spiritual relationship with the Earth?" asks Tonya
Gonnella Frichner of the Onondaga Nation. "There is an intellectual
abstraction about the environment but no visceral participation with
the Earth."

Perhaps one of the most pervasive concepts among American Indians is
the belief that land is alive. Every particular form of the land is
the locus of qualitatively different spirit beings. Their presence
gives life to and sanctifies the land in all its details and
contours. Thus, it's when people recognize a shared spiritual
essence in the world around them that their interactions with the
land take on a quality of reverence and respect.

Seeing what a specific place means to a specific culture can help
non-Natives understand how land plays not an auxiliary or symbolic
role, but is a central, necessary force in many Native traditions.
The rivers, the mountains, the air, the wind, animals, all living
and non-living things, everything in the ecology - becomes
meaningful because they are interconnected. This is a theme that is
central to India's holistic vision.

In his "Afterword" to the volume America in 1492, Vine Deloria, Jr.,
encourages us to reflect on the degree to which non-Native
Americans "have responded to the rhythms of the land--the degree to
which they have become indigenous." In the context of immigrant
Indian Americans, "becoming indigenous" means knowing the land where
they live and showing it respect. One way this is happening is by
placing a relationship to the land in a religious context, as
opposed to just an economic context. It helps Indian Americans
experience the life force of the land, enabling them to see the land
of their adoption as a distinct being deserving of respect.

Which is why, in the past twenty five years, the American landscape,
with its rich surfeit of rivers, mountains, forests, animals,
ancestral graves and relics, is becoming sacred space to Indian
Americans as it has been for American Indians through the millennia.
They have enhanced and spiritually empowered America's sacred
landscape with more than 1500 places of worship in North America.

DR VASUDHA NARYANAN

Professor Vasudha Narayanan, an authority on diasporic Hinduism
claims that Hindu rituals are part of the many ways in which the
local landscape is being transformed to be sacred liturgical space
for immigrant American Hindus. Dr. Narayanan, a former President of
the American Academy of Religions and professor at the University of
Florida's Department of Religion, has looked at how post-1965
immigrant Hindus perceive the land of the Americas and how they
consecrate the ground on which they build their temples. She has
outlined this in a paper presented at the American Academy of
Religion and titled "Victory to Govinda who lives in America: Hindu
Ritual to Sacralize the American Landscape."

Narayanan is the author and editor of five books and more than 80
articles, chapters and encyclopedia entries. Her book "The Hindu
Traditions in the United States: Temple Space, Domestic Space, and
Cyberspace" was be published by Columbia University Press in 2004.
She is currently working on Hindu temples and Vaishnava traditions
in Cambodia.

The point this distinguished Hindu American has made is that Indians
have made the land of the Americas ritually sacred in at least four
ways: composing songs and pious Sanskrit prayers extolling the
American state where the temples are located; identifying America as
a specific dvipa or island as noted in the Hindu Puranas; physically
consecrating the land with waters from sacred Indian and American
rivers; and literally recreating the physical landscape of certain
holy places in India, as in Pittsburgh or Barsana Dham, Texas. Thus,
Prof. Naryanan discerns "a process by which land or shrines held
sacred by the native inhabitants is coopted by Hindus and the
sacrality is re-articulated with Hindu motifs."

For example, devotees at the Sri Venkateswara Temple in Penn Hills,
Pennsylvania, praised Lord Venkateswara, a manifestation of Lord
Vishnu, in song: America vasa jaya govinda, Penn Hills nilaya radhe
govinda, sri guru jaya guru, vithala govinda, which means, "Victory
to Govinda who lives in America; Govinda who with Radha resides in
Penn Hills. Victory to Govinda, Vithala, the sacred Teacher."
Singing about a place expresses its sacredness and makes it a
palpable spot of holiness, explains Prof. Narayanan.

Also, a statement put out by the Venkateshwara temple noted:
Pittsburgh, endowed with hills and a multitude of trees as well as
the confluence of the three rivers, namely, the Allegheny, the
Mongahela, and the sub-terrainean river (brought up via the 60 foot
high fountain at downtown) to form the Ohio river is indeed a
perfect choice for building the first and most authentic temple to
house Lord Venkateswara. The evergrowing crowds that have been
coming to the city with the thriveni Sangama of the three rivers to
worship at the Temple with the three vimanas reassure our belief
that the venerable Gods chose this place and the emerald green
hillock to reside in.

Dr. J. Sethuraman, professor of statistics at the Florida State
University in Tallahassee, who is now retired, went one step
further. The Madras-born Sanskrit scholar composed an elegant poem
called Sri Venkatesha America Vaibhava Stotram, "Praise of the
Appearance of Lord Venkatesha in America." It is in classical
Sanskrit, in the style of a traditional kavya, or poem, replete with
exquisite literary flourishes and ornate verses: "Such a Venkatesha,
the ocean of nectar of kindness, has come to the hilltop at the well-
known city of Pittsburgh, surrounded by the three rivers, Allegheny,
Monongahela and the Ohio, to remove the miseries of the people." Dr.
Sethuraman then proceeds to glorify Lord Vishnu; in his
manifestation as Venkatesha, as the deity in more than 20 American
towns, and describes with local imagery the different places in the
United States where Venkatesha is enshrined.

As Prof. Narayanan explained: "While all temples go through formal
ceremonies of vivification with pitchers of sanctified waters, the
devotees' songs promulgate the sacredness of the land; the terrain
is now internalized in landscape of devotion. Many Hindu devotees
celebrate the lord's accessibility more than his supremacy, and to
make himself accessible, he is said to abide in a local shrine close
to the devotee. Thus, Venkateswara (also known as Venkatesha in
songs) is totally present in Tiru Venkatam, India, and this is
important; but even more important is that this deity is now
perceived as abiding in a local shrine at Penn Hills, Malibu,
Chicago, Dayton, Atlanta, etc. The devotees in Pittsburgh, just as
the many Hindu saints celebrated it, see the lord as being
physically close to them sanctifying the land they live in."

Another example of making America a sacred home is evident in
the "declaration of intention," done at the beginning of every
ritual. The land is usually identified with one of the dvipas,
or "islands" from the Puranas.. Thus, Hindus in India begin most
rituals with the line, "in this island of the Rose-Apple
(Jambudvipa), in the fragment of land called Bharata, south of Mount
Meru." In Canada and America there are new parameters. Almost all
temples state that America is located in the Krauncha (Egret or
Heron) island, which is west of Mount Meru. In the intention recited
in Tallahassee, Dr. Sethuraman chanted: "In this island of Krauncha,
in the delightful continent, in the sacred province of the cows that
is east of the Mississippi River, in the sacred land called
Tallahassee."

Interestingly, according to the Puranic Encyclopedia of Vettam Mani,
Krauncha is the fifth of seven islands in Indian mythology.
Surrounded by milk, and guarded by the god Varuna, it is also said
to contain a mountain, where a haughty and arrogant asura, also
named Krauncha, was leading a wicked life.

SACRED RIVERS

Hindus think of rivers as capable of spiritually cleansing all those
who bathe in them. But why should they mingle the sacred waters
brought from India's rivers with the local waters of the Mississippi
and the Suwannee? On the simplest level, the belief is that the
sacredness of the Ganga, the Kaveri and other rivers will physically
attach itself to the local rivers of America. But there is more
going on here than just spiritually or physically invoking the holy
Indian rivers into the local waters. Just as the supreme being makes
itself accessible through an incarnation or manifestation on earth,
the sanctity of the remote site in India is made accessible in this
country to the devotees, claims Prof. Naryanan.

Another way Hindus in America enhance the sacredness of their
temples is to try to either recognize and rediscover resemblances
between American physical landscape and distinctive sacred spots in
India, or to recreate that similarity. The earliest attempt was at
the Venkateswara Temple in Pittsburgh. Devotees voiced the
similarity between the sacred place in India where the rivers Ganga,
Yamuna and the underground Saraswati meet, and the confluence of
three local rivers.

According to Prof Narayanan, some of the most sustained attempts in
recreating the landscape are in Barsana Dham, Texas, and at the
Iraivan Temple to Siva, in Kauai, Hawaii. Barsana Dham resembles
Barsana in Northern India, said to be the hometown of Radha, the
beloved of Lord Krishna. Here, all the important landmarks of
Krishna and Radha's homeland were recreated. At Iraivan Temple in
Hawaii, not only are the names reminiscent of India, but the similar
environment of tropical India meshes with the local Hawaiian land to
create a unique milieu.

As expected, the Pittsburgh temple, the Barsana Dham in Texas, and
the Iraivan Temple in Hawaii have become new pilgrimage destination
for millions of Indians living in North America. Even visitors from
India make it a point to include these temples in their itinerary.
Dr. Sambamurthy Sivachariyar, an important priest of a large temple
in Madras, India, who presided as chief priest for the stone-laying
ceremony of Iraivan Temple in 1995 said, "I am too old to go on
pilgrimage to the holy sites in the Indian Himalayan mountains,
where, according to Hinduism, God Himself resides and gives His
grace to pilgrims. That was a life-long dream of mine. But now that
I have come to the most beautiful place in the world, Kauai, to this
sacred land, I feel my dream has been fulfilled. I have come to the
home of God."

Interestingly, the ancient Hawaiians called the temple site, which
is at the foot of Mount Waialeale near the sacred Wailua River,
Pihanakalani, "where heaven touches Earth."

Last December, Prof Seetharaman put final touches to his version of
the Sri-Venkatesha-America-Vaibhava-Stotram by including all the
traditional style Hindu temples in North America and concluded with
the following shloka:

"It is no wonder that you have many such divine residences; Oh Lord,
Oh kind One; in spite of all this, do shower me with your grace and
please come with Sri Devi and Bhuu Devi and reside in my house. This
resident of Tallahassee, Sethuraman, requests that you give a mind,
calmed of the raging fires of desire, to the devotees who think
again and again of your divine residences, contemplate again and
again on your divine form, and praise you with these slokas."
