Acculturation of Hinduism and its Significance for the Study of New Religions

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In my lecture I presented some of the results of my research concerning the beginnings of acculturation of Hinduism in the context of Czech occultism. I showed that the collected data give sound reasons to think of new religions as a special forms of religions typical for the modern societies due to the fact that they are formed by particular conditions of modernity, especially by the changed media used for communication and interraction. Early new religions are predominantly "text communities". This feature has further consequences for organizational structures, for social composition of their membership, for their relation to traditional forms of religious authority, even for their understanding of what it means to be religious etc. From this point of view, than, the oposition between so called traditional religions, the inheritors of medieval and early modern churches, and the so called new religions, seems to be rather unreflected and from the point of view of theory completely use
