Piṅgalā
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
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. |
By Swami Harshananda
Piṅgalā is one of the three nāḍīs connected with prāṇāyāma. It begins from the right nostril. It runs parallel to and on the right of the suṣumnā, which is in the middle.
