“…Sinha (2011) places modern Western sources on psychosocial adjustment in dialogue with ancient Hindu texts that describe well-being, for example, the Caraka Saṃhitā—a scripture on “the knowledge of life” (Ayurveda) and the ancient Indian art of medicine (p. 96, citing Ruch, 1958; see also p. 102, citing Freeman, 1948, and p. 97 citing D.

Durganand Sinha was an important Indian cross-cultural psychologist whose research spanned half a century. In commemoration of Sinha's passing 25 years ago, I explore in this essay his vision of the integration of Hindu religious psychology and Western scientific psychology. In the first part of the discussion, I consider a brief history of the interaction between Indian cultures and Western scientific psychology. In the second part, I next consider the proposal of Sinha that outlines various approaches that researchers might take with respect to the indigenization of scientific psychology. In the third part, I consider Sinha's discussion of integration as the expected outcome of the process of indigenization. Sinha indicates that when a researcher establishes a successful integrated cultural research paradigm in this way, it can serve as a framework for future researchers.
