| Hinduism Today is a quarterly magazine published by the Himalayan Academy, a nonprofit educational institution, in Kapaʻa, Hawaiʻi, USA. It is distributed throughout the United States and internationally, currently in 60 nations. Founded by Sivaya Subramuniyaswami in 1979, it is a public service of his monastic order to promote an understanding of the Hindu faith, culture, and traditions.

History and topics

In 1996, Sivaya Subramuniyaswami upgraded the newspaper Hinduism Today to a magazine. Recently, the magazine became available online with over 275,000 readers from North America, Europe, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Africa and Mauritius.

The magazine presents through a Hindu perspective a wide range of topics, pressing both to society and the individual. These topics include, but are not limited to, the following: education, culture, cosmology, philosophy, ethics, sociology, film, music, spirituality, food, and travel. In addition to regular writers, contributors include the magazine’s readers as well as the collective wisdom of major thinkers of both the eastern and western traditions, as captured in the magazine's regularly included quotations section. Informative articles also offer profound insights into modern life, with topics such as yoga, vegetarianism, meditation, nonviolence, environmental ethics and family life.

Specific goals of the magazine include:

To foster Hindu solidarity as a unity in diversity among all sects and lineages
To inform and inspire Hindus worldwide and people interested in Hinduism
To dispels myths, illusions and misinformation about Hinduism
To protect, preserve and promote the sacred Vedas and the Hindu religion
To nurture and monitor the ongoing spiritual Hindu renaissance;
To publish a resource for Hindu leaders and educators who promote Sanatana Dharma.

At the World Hindu Congress 2023 in Bangkok, Shri Milind Shrikant Parande (Secretary General of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Bharat) and Mohan Madhukar Bhagwat (Sarsanghchalak leader of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) jointly presented an award for Hinduism Today to Bodhinatha Veylanswami.
