Hinduism is a minor religion in Croatia. There has been a longstanding tradition of interest in Indology among Croatian scholars and also a great interest in Indian culture among the Croats. The Carmelite monk Paulinus a Sancto Bartolomaeo, a Croat, who was known as Filip Vesdin, stayed at the Court of the Maharaja of Travancore between 1776 and 1789. He pioneered Indological studies and wrote several books on Indian culture and Indo-European languages, including a book on Sanskrit grammar. This was the first book on Sanskrit grammar to be published in Europe. His books stimulated further interest and research on Indian culture. The Department of Indology of the University of Zagreb celebrated its 250th birth anniversary by holding a seminar on 17 December 1998. Croatia established the Centre for Indology at Zagreb University in 1962, which has been very active and extremely popular. 50-60 students study Indology, which includes learning of Hindi/Sanskrit. Cultural functions/receptions are organized by the Embassy of India to celebrate "Hindi Day"' each year. ==Hinduism in Croatia== Hinduism spread to Croatia by ISKCON, Brahma Kumaris and Yoga in Daily Life. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hinduism in Croatia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
