Hinduism is a minor religious faith in Finland .
There are, 11000[1] to 15000[2] Hindus in Finland. The majority are from India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Finland acquired a significant Hindu population for the first time around the turn of the 21st century due to the recruitment of information technology workers from India by companies such as Nokia .[3]
Demographics [ edit ]
The population of Hindus in Finland from 2000 to 2020, according to Statistics Finland:
Historical population Year Pop. ±% 2000 37 — 2005 66 +78.4% 2010 91 +37.9% 2011 98 +7.7% 2012 96 −2.0% 2013 127 +32.3% 2014 300 +136.2% 2015 324 +8.0% 2016 345 +6.5% 2017 353 +2.3% 2018 358 +1.4% 2019 367 +2.5% 2020 368 +0.3% Source: [1] [4]
However, according to another estimate in 2011, there were 524 Hindus in Finland.[2] According to ARDA in 2015, there were 1080 Hindus in Finland.[5] As of 2021, there are 10,749 Indians in Finland , as well as 5,012 Nepalis and 1,704 Sri Lankans (a total of 17,465), though it is not known how many of them are Hindus.[6]
Controversy [ edit ]
In 2009, Hindu nationalists protested the inclusion of a photograph that they felt denigrated Hinduism in an exhibit at the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art . In response, the museum removed the word "Hinduism" from the title of the work on the museum label.[7]
Hindu Groups in Finland [ edit ]
There is an International Society for Krishna Consciousness temple in Malmi , Helsinki .[10]
Yoga of many varieties is flourishing. The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland , which claims over 80 per cent of native Finns as members, reports that yoga is practiced by tens of thousands.[8]
