APAN, June 21, 2026 (YouTube): How did Hindu Gods travel from ancient India to Japan? For over 1,500 years, millions of Japanese people have worshiped Deities whose origins lie in Hindu civilization. From Benzaiten (Saraswati) and Bishamonten (Kubera) to Daikokuten (Mahakala/Shiva) and Kangiten (Ganesha), the sacred traditions of India crossed the Silk Road through Buddhism and became deeply woven into Japanese culture. This Global Hindu documentary explores one of history’s most fascinating cultural journeys. Discover how ancient Hindu Deities transformed into some of Japan’s most beloved Gods, why hundreds of shrines are dedicated to Saraswati, how Sanskrit prayers and the Siddham script survived in Japan, and why many Japanese remain unaware of the Indian origins of these traditions.
