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.

Sarvārthasiddhi

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

The philosopher saint Vedānta Deśika[1] is considered as next to Rāmāmija[2] in the Viśiṣṭādvaita tradition. He was a prolific writer not only in Sanskrit but also in Tamil. Among the independent treatises on Viśiṣṭādvaita Vedānta written by him, the Tattvamuktākalāpa is an important work. It comprises of 500 verses in the long meter "sragdharā".

It has five chapters dealing with five different aspects of the philosophy such as:

  1. Jaḍadravya - prakṛti or nature
  2. Jīva - individual souls
  3. Nāyaka - God
  4. Etc.

The Sarvārthasiddhi in verses is his own commentary on the Tattvamuktākalāpa elucidating the finer aspects of the system.
