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.

Kārya

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshanananda

Kārya literally means ‘that which is done’.

Kārya is a widely used word and has several senses. It is associated with the word ‘kāraṇa’ (cause) and means the effect. For instance, if clay is the kāraṇa, pot is its kārya or effect.

Some of the other senses in which it is used are:

  • Work
  • Conduct
  • Utility
  • Profession
  • Duty

The word kārya is also used in a more technical sense in astrology and legal works.
