Description
When people are looking for a new orientation, they are often motivated by the excitement of something that is completely different from everyday experience. Exotic ideas of India or Hindu spirituality had a formative effect on the shape and content of new concepts of life and the idea of the "new man". The author analyses the reception of Hindu religiosity and some elements of Indian culture in Germany as a response to religious-spiritual experiences of deficiency and social changes at the end of the 19th and in the 20th century. The guiding themes of reincarnation, vegetarianism, understanding of the body, community and yoga structure the view of the phases of reception.

Reviews
»[...] mit bewundernswerter Akribie im Detail und zugleich großem Gespür für übergreifende Linien. Lohnende Lektüre. Es ist das große Verdienst von Hartungs Studie, sowohl die transformative Kraft religiöser Adaptions- und Aneignungsprozesse als auch die deutlichen Differenzen in den Blick zu rücken.«
Rüdiger Braun, ZRW 3/2024
»With this structured approach, she presents an impressive general history of how India and its religious and cultural traditions vitally fed into cultural and social transformations in Germany with all its consequences for present-day religious and “spiritual” developments.«
