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.

Kāyaśuddhi

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Kāyaśuddhi literally means ‘purification of the body’.

Purification of the body is a primary requisite in all the sādhanas or spiritual practices. The most common method of achieving it is through snāna or bathing. Several types of snānas are described in the holy books of the religion.
