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.

(Redirected from Caturopayas)

By Swami Harshananda

Caturopāyās literally means ‘the four means adopted by a king'.

A king is given a path of dealing with other kings or enemies who causes trouble. A wise ruler should adopt the caturopāyas or four means to handle the enemies judiciously. These Caturopāyās are:

  1. Sāma - Reconciliation
  2. Dāna - Yielding something to appease him
  3. Bheda - Bringing about a split in the enemy’s ranks
  4. Daṇḍa - Going to war
