Hinduism in Switzerland consists of a diversity of different groups and traditions. As in India and elsewhere none can claim to speak out for "the Hindus".

Interest in Hindu concepts started with the practice of yoga and its bodily exercises in the first half of the twentieth century. Today, hundreds of yoga classes and a multitude of yoga institutes exist. Most of them favour a non-religious approach, striving to train body awareness and inner tranquillity. During the 1970s and 1980s, an influx of new religious movements and among these Neo-Hindu groups reached Switzerland. The societal debate created by groups such as Transcendental Meditation, the Neo-Sannyas of Bhagwan Shree Rashneej and the Society for Krishna Consciousness of Swami Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada have calmed down during the 1990s. Apart from the Krishna community and its thriving temple in Zurich, most Neo-Hindu groups have twinkled down to a small number of members and followers.
