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.

Saḍaṅganyāsa

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Saḍaṅganyāsa literally means ‘the six limbs of the Vedas’.

The Veda is called ‘ṣaḍaṅga’ since it has six subsidiary branches of knowledge. These are the ṣaḍaṅgas or Vedāṅgas.
