We examine the impact of the current colonial-racist discourse around Hindu Dharma on Indians across the world and prove that this discourse causes psychological effects similar to those caused by racism: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a detachment from our cultural heritage.

Śāṇḍilyavidyā

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Śāṇḍilyavidyā literally means ‘science taught by Śāṇḍilya’.

In the Chāndogya Upaniṣad[1] Brahman is described as tajjalān. A description of this Brahman, both as the transcendent and the immanent reality followed by the fruits of meditating on him are given here. This knowledge is known as Śāndilyavidyā as it was first taught by the sage Śāṇḍilya.
