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.

Satkāryavāda

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Satkāryavāda literally means ‘the theory of the effect really existing previously in the cause’.

Since a real effect cannot come out of an unreal cause, this theory put forward by the Sāṅkhya philosophy argues that the effect[1] must have pre-existed[2] in the cause, in a subtle form before manifestation. This is satkāryavāda. This theory is also called ārambhavāda and pariṇāmavāda.
