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.

Kahola

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Kahola was a disciple of the sage Uddālaka. Later, he married Sujātā, Uddālaka’s daughter and got Aṣṭāvakra as his son. He once visited the court of the king Janaka and was defeated by the sage Bandi in a philosophical disputation. Consequently he was imprisoned in water. Aṣṭāvakra rescued him.

As per the Bṛhadāranyaka Upaniṣad,[1] Kahola questioned the sage Yājñavalkya in the court of the king Janaka about the Brahman but was silenced by his brilliant answers.
