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.

Dvaita

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Dvaita literally means ‘dualism’.

Any school of philosophy which believes that the ultimate Reality is not one but many can be called as ‘dvaita’. The chief system of dvaita was propagated by Madhvācārya in A. D. 1238-1317. It was known as the Dvaita Vedānta Darśana . The other schools are:

  1. Viśiṣṭādvaita of Rāmānuja (A.D. 1017-1137)
  2. Dvaitādvaita of Nimbārka (13th century A.D.)
  3. Śaiva-viśiṣṭādvaita of Śrīkaṇṭha (A.D. 1270)
  4. Acintya bhedābheda of Baladeva (A.D. 1725)
