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.

Śabdādvaita

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Śabdādvaita literally means ‘advaita of śabda’.

Maṇḍana Miśra[1] was an advaitin. He has propagated this view in his well-known work Brahmasiddhi. According to him, Brahman[2] is consciousness which is the power of speech, nature of śabda, sound or vibration. Hence Brahman is of the nature of ‘śabda’ or speech. Though Maṇḍana, following Bhartṛhari[3] a philosopher of the school of grammar, adduces several powerful arguments in its favor, later advaitins do not subscribe to his views.
