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.

Aṃhaspati

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
(Redirected from Amhaspati)

By Swami Harshananda

Aṃhaspati literally means ‘lord of sins’.

An intercalary month, especially the kṣayamāsa (the lunar month omitted for adjustments of the calendar) is called ‘aṃhaspati’ in the Vedas.[1]
