Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children Book Cover.webp
In this book, we examine the impact on Indian American children from school textbook narratives about Hinduism and ancient India, highlighting their alignment with colonial-racist discourse. This discourse causes psychological effects similar to those caused by racism: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a detachment from their cultural heritage. The book represents four years of rigorous research and academic peer review, underscoring Hindupedia's dedication to challenging the portrayal of Hindu Dharma in academia.

Anāhatacakra

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
(Redirected from Anahatacakra)

By Swami Harshananda

Anāhatacakra literally means ‘unbeaten sound plexus.

It is one of the six centers of psychic energy mentioned in the works on Haṭha-yoga. This center is called anāhatacakra since the anāhata sound (sound produced without the beating of two objects) is heard there. It is situated in the region of the heart and is said to have twelve petals of red color.
