Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children Book Cover.webp
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.

Śamādisatka

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Śamādiṣatka literally means ‘the group of six disciplines’ starting with śama’.

This is the third of the four spiritual disciplines listed under sādhanācatuṣṭaya. It consists of the following six steps:

  1. Śama - tranquility
  2. Dama - self-control
  3. Uparati - cessation of external sense-organs from the pursuit of sense-objects
  4. Titikṣā - forbearance
  5. Śraddhā - faith
  6. Samādhāna - concentration
