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.

Krusṭa

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

The sapta svara system, seven fundamental notes, of Indian music gradually evolved from the seven notes of sāmagāna. These notes are used in chanting the hymns of the Sāmaveda . Kruṣta is the last of the arranged note. The seven notes of Sāmagāna and their equivalents in the saptasvara system of Sāmaveda are given below:

  1. Prathama - Ga (gāndhāra)
  2. Dvitīya - Ri (ṛṣabha)
  3. Tṛtīya - Sa (ṣaḍja)
  4. Caturtha - ni (niṣāda)
  5. Mandra - dha (daivata)
  6. Atisvārya - pa (pañcama)
  7. Kruṣta - ma (madhyama)

Thus, kruṣṭa corresponds to ma or madhyama of Indian music.
