The Florida House of Representatives has introduced a resolution recognizing 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 2,230,000 Hindu Americans nationwide and that Florida is enriched by their diverse cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and religious contributions. 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 also emphasizes the contributions of Hindu Americans to Florida, including their high educational attainment and active engagement in community service through charitable efforts. It acknowledges the celebration of various Hindu festivals, such as Diwali, which symbolizes the victory of good over evil and is a time for joy and new beginnings. By adopting this resolution, the House of Representatives aims to promote awareness and understanding of the Hindu American community and their impact on the state.
