Vaishnava Suvarnabhumi Nusantara

Vaishnava Suvarnabhumi Nusantara

http://vasuntara.blogspot.com

Indonesia once was part of The Greater India or Suvarnabhumi. The Hindus for centuries called her Dvipantara, “the islands between”. The Indonesians, especially Javanese and Balinese Hindus, also use the name Nusantara for this magnificent archipelago, which has same meaning as Dvipantara. Indonesia has a long history of Vedic civilization for more than 1500 years (according to archaeological findings). I dedicate this blog to publishing my writings on exploring Hindu-Vedic and particularly Vaishnavites tenets and practices in Suvarnabhumi Nusantara’s spiritual traditions and customs.
