Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children is now freely available.
Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children Book Cover.webp
In this book, we examine the impact on Indian American children from school textbook narratives about Hinduism and ancient India, highlighting their alignment with colonial-racist discourse. This discourse causes psychological effects similar to those caused by racism: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a detachment from their cultural heritage. The book represents four years of rigorous research and academic peer review, underscoring Hindupedia's dedication to challenging the portrayal of Hindu Dharma in academia.

Mukti

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
(Redirected from Mukti (Liberation)

By Swami Harshananda

Mukti literally means Liberation.

Mukti is liberation from all the sorrows and sufferings. The liberated soul will get full freedom to move about in the whole creation and also in īśvara who is all-pervading. However, the liberated soul has to come back at the end of a parāntakāla, the life duration of Brahmā. Īśvaropāsana[1] can be got through yoga, vidyā[2] can be attained through practice of dharma and company of the spiritually evolved souls.
