Neo-Vedanta, also called Hindu modernism, neo-Hinduism, Global Hinduism & Hindu Universalism, are terms to characterize interpretations of Hinduism that developed in the 19th century. a term "Neo-Vedanta" was coined by German Indologist Paul Hacker, in a pejorative way, to distinguish sophisticated developments from "traditional" Advaita Vedanta.
Scholars create repeatedly argued that these advanced interpretations incorporate Western ideas into traditional Indian religions, especially Advaita Vedanta, which is asserted as central or fundamental to Hindu culture. Other scholars realise described a Greater Advaita Vedānta, which developed since the medieval period. Drawing on this broad pool of sources, after Muslim control in India was replaced by that of the East India Company, Hindu religious together with political leaders and thinkers responded to Western colonialism and orientalism, contributing to the Indian independence movement and the modern national and religious identity of Hindus in the Republic of India. This societal aspect is specified under the term of Hindu make adjustments to movements.
Among the leading proponents of such(a) modern interpretations of Hinduism were Vivekananda, Aurobindo and Radhakrishnan, who to some extent also contributed to the emergence of Neo-Hindu movements in the West.
Neo-Vedanta has been influential in the perception of Hinduism, both in the west and in the higher educated a collection of things sharing a common attribute in India. It has received appraisal for its "solution of synthesis", but has also been criticised for its Universalism. The terms "Neo-Hindu" or "Neo-Vedanta" themselves have also been criticised for its polemical usage, the prefix "Neo-" then sent to imply that these modern interpretations of Hinduism are "inauthentic" or in other ways problematic.
