<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Hinduism in Sulawesi''' has been a relatively recent phenomenon, compared to the other islands of [[Indonesia]] where it has been a part of the culture for millennia. [[Agama Hindu Dharma|Indonesian Hinduism]] was brought to the islands in 1963, by [[Balinese people|Balinese]] migrants.<ref>[http://www.north-sulawesi.com/sul_info.html Geography] - North Sulawesi</ref><br />
<br />
==Growth==<br />
After [[Hinduism|Hindu Dharma]] was brought to the island, it took hold in many areas, especially after Hinduism became a recognized religion in 1964. In 1977 the [[Toraja]]s of the island converted to [[Hinduism]] ''en masse''.<ref>[http://www.swaveda.com/articles.php?action=show&id=49 Great Expectations: Hindu Revival Movements in Java, Indonesia] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040820025445/http://www.swaveda.com/articles.php?action=show&id=49 |date=2004-08-20 }} Swaveda - May 13, 2005</ref><br />
<br />
==Practices==<br />
The [[Toraja]]s have continued many practices of [[animist]] nature, but their conversion to Hinduism has allowed them to keep on their traditions within the framework of an organized religion. Their conversion was hastened by the sudden proliferation of Christian [[missionaries]] in the area, trying to woo people away from their native beliefs. The practices are more traditionalist in nature, as opposed to [[Hinduism in Bali|Balinese]] Hinduism and [[Hinduism|Indian Hinduism]].<ref>[http://www.iias.nl/iiasn/23/theme/23T6.html Guest Editor] IIAS No. 23</ref><br />
