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.

Pratyagātman

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Pratyagātman literally means ‘the Self inside’.

This word actually refers to the ātman or the Self within our heart.[1] It is interpreted either as Paramātman[2] or as the jīvātman.[3]
