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.

Sādhus

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Sādhus literally means ‘the good persons’ or ‘the holy persons’.

Though the word ‘sādhu’ actually means a good person, in common parlance it is used to indicate a sanyāsin or a religious mendicant.
