concerns, but also notes that Hinduism should not be overly idealized: Rambachan also notes that most scholars are deeply committed to an honest study of Hinduism, and that their work "sustains an interest in the academic study of Hinduism that is unmatched elsewhere in the world." According to Rambachan, there is a tension "between those who study religion in this way and the needs of [the] faithful," but the task of the academia is not "the formation and nurturing of the Hindu faith in a new generation of Hindus." According to Rambachan, "Hindus in the United States must work vigorously to build institutions and offer opportunities to young Hindus where Hindu identity is meaningfully cultivated and encouraged." Rahul Peter Das - Orientalistische Literaturzeitung Rahul Peter Das wrote an extensive review in the Orientalistische Literaturzeitung. Das also notes that the main concern is with "Freudian, often vividly sexual, interpretations."

According to Das, criticism of "Freudian psychoanalysis as a surrogate religion" are as old as psycho-analysis itself, and the criticism of Invading the Sacred is therefore not surprising. In critique of the book, Das notes a "failure to distinguish properly between academia and public life outside this." Das further notes that Das also notes a lack of academic qualifications, and a lack of scholarly rigor, by the authors of Invading the Sacred. He raises concerns with the author's inability to use primary materials: Das further notes that "[n]ot only sound analysis of primary sources, but adequate consideration of secondary sources too is essential. Here too the publication has serious deficiencies." Das also notes that "no real epistemological and categorical discussion takes place at all," and that there is a " lack of categorical rigour." And he notes that the authors seem to be unknown with the broader field of Indological studies: A further critique is the homogenisation of "Hinduism", which "some see as typical for diasporic communities." Das concludes with the notion that "this publication ushers in a new era, that the forces it unleashes will remain active and gain strength ... it will probably lead to a long-term process impacting the study of Hinduism in the USA," and notes that the real debate should not be a political debate, but a debate on the one-sidedness of
