Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children Book Cover.webp
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.

Muktābāi

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Sant Jñāneśvar[1] was the earliest of the saints of Maharashtra who initiated the Bhakti Movement. His elder brother Nivṛttinātha[2] was his guru. Sopāna was his younger brother and Muktābāi, his sister, was the youngest one in the family.

Muktā, as she was fondly known, was considered as an incarnation of Mahāmāyā.[3] She too was a highly evolved saint and was the spiritual teacher of Visobā Khecar and Cāṅgadev.[4] There are a few abhaṅgas[5] in her name.
