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.

Padarthabhāvana

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Padarthabhāvana literally means becoming aware of objects through others.

When the seeker reaches this state, he is not aware of padārthas or objects whether they are inside or outside himself and has to be made aware of them by others. The reason is that his mind is always dwelling on his Self. In this final state, the seeker’s consciousness transcends all duality and is well-established in the ātman or the Self.
