Śeṣa, śeṣin
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
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. |

Śeṣa, śeṣin literally means ‘part and whole’.
In the Viśiṣṭādvaita Vedānta, the jīva[1] is denotes as part.[2] of Brahman. It is called śeṣa and Brahman Himself as Seṣin.[3]
