Throughout Indian history, spiritual practice has had an intimate relationship with Indian politics and state-building. In this paper, I aim to establish a connection between Ayurveda and Hindutva politics by tracing the dissemination of spiritual and social ideologies in India. My goal is to illuminate the intersection between New Age spiritualism, Hindutva ideologies and how these might perpetuate the legacy of colonialism and hierarchical violence in India. This paper aims to examine state-building and spiritual practice in relation to each other, and the implications of this both locally and globally.
