The Influence of Hinduism over the world
==============================
                                                                    We are well aware that Swami Vivekananda visited  America one hundred years ago and addressed the 'World Religion Conference' at Chicago  He was taken to visit Slaughter House of cattle where they use to pack meat for eating purpose. It was  fully mechanized processing plant. Swamiji must have been moved by ruthlessly killing animals by some Human being. However at the end of said visit Swamiji was asked by host  ' what do you think about it?' He smiled and replied 'You may be creating animal out of human beings but  we makes  human out of animal. This is because the message of Hinduism spreaded in the Ancient time from Asia to Europe and America was forgotten by the time.
                                                                   

                                                                      The recent discovery of Hindu idols and temples in mexico and south America shows that Indian have reached the America before even Columbus put his first steps on America. There is Siva temple in mexico.  The book published by maxican foreign office states that ' Bird name 'Catamaran' comes from Tamil Language. Maya civilization resembles the Indian civilization. It has spreaded in many Latin American countries including in Peru.  The 32000 year old idol of Narsinha is found in Germany.  The idol of Vishnu found in the Volga region of Russia.  The Hindu Temple was also found in Azerbaijan in the central Asia  The Sun Temple in Bulgaria is 8000 year old which is similar to Sun temples in India.
                                                                     
                                                                       The Hindu empires  was in existence in Bali, Java, Sumatra, Burnio,(i.e. Indonesia)  Cambodia  Philpines  Siam  even before Columbus reached  to America. There is the world largest group of Hindu temples at Angkor Wat, Cambodia.  The Khmer Temple Architect also reflects Hindu culture in Vietnam.  All these shows that Hinduism was well spreaded all over the world.
                                                                       The great religions Buddism, Jainism  Sikhism which were  born in India have roots in Hindu philosophy. Even in the capital of  philpines grand idol of Ganesha is installed before its civic Body.
                                                                       Bali with population of 4.22 million is a part of Indonesia which is Muslim country.  However  93% of its population is still Hindu.  Indonesia became Muslim because Hindu Empire of Majapahit was defeated. However Bali  still remembers the great Hindu Rishis Agastya, Markendya, Bharadwaj. They still remember Rigved and its history. It is being still tought in the schools of Bali. They also ware dhoti when they go to temple. The whole culture of Bali is based on  the three main Hindu principles i.e.The duty and relationship with God, The relationship with all human beings and the relationship with nature. They practice Trikal Sandhya Three times a day and Gayatri Mantra is recited in every school. We cannot imagine to do it in India which claim the great Hindu civilization.
                                                                      This is only to show that our forefathers have done enough spread work in the world. We have to only revive it. The ancient prosperity of culture, knowledge, wealth will automatically follow the same. But where are those great leaders of caliber to lead us?
