Abstract
In Czech as well as in another European societies certain notions of "Indian" origin became widespread during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, especially in the context of occultism. This was enabled by certain changes in European societies carried on by modernization processes. Modernization did not mean just rationalization, industrialization etc., but also very radical change in communication and interaction due to development of printed media. This had extraordinary impact on religion and led to privatization, detraditionalization (or rather various reconstructions of traditions) and even formation of new forms of religious organizations - even the church as we understand it today is the product of modernization, organization very different form medieval church. On the background of these processes and changes and with reference to my studies of acculturation of "Hinduism" in Czech occultism I will try to clarify some misunderstandings related to such notions like the opposition of traditional religions - new religions, spirituality - religion and the foreign origin of certain "new religions of oriental origin".
