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.

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.
