The Florida House of Representatives has introduced House Resolution HR 8053, which recognizes October 2025 as "Hindu-American Heritage Month" in the state. This resolution highlights the significant presence of Hindu Americans in Florida, noting that there are approximately 2.23 million Hindu Americans nationwide and that Florida is home to numerous Hindu temples and cultural centers. The year 2025 is particularly significant as it marks the 132nd anniversary of Hinduism's introduction to the United States by Swami Vivekananda at the 1893 World's Parliament of Religions, as well as the 125th anniversary of the Vedanta Society he founded in San Francisco.

The resolution emphasizes the contributions of Hindu Americans to Florida's cultural and social fabric, including their high educational attainment and commitment to community service through charitable activities. It also acknowledges the celebration of important Hindu festivals, such as Diwali, which symbolizes the victory of good over evil. By adopting this resolution, the Florida House of Representatives aims to promote awareness and understanding of the Hindu American community and its contributions to the state.
