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.

Sāṅkhya-yoga

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Sāṅkhya-yoga literally means ‘yoga of sāṅkhya or knowledge’.

Sāṅkhya-yoga as per Bhagavadgītā[edit]

The second chapter of the Bhagavadgītā is called Sāñkhyayoga since it deals with sāṅkhya or jñāna or knowledge of the ātman. Elsewhere, the words sāṅkhya and yoga have been used to signify Jñānayoga and Karmayoga.[1]

Sāṅkhya-yoga as per Prānāgnihotra Upaniṣad[edit]

The Prānāgnihotra Upaniṣad[2] uses the word to mean intense thinking. In the Muktikopaniṣad[3] it means Jñānayoga.
