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.

Taijasa

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Taijasa literally means ‘one who is bright’.

The jīva[1] has three states of consciousness. They are:

  1. Jāgrat - waking state
  2. Svapna - dream state
  3. Suṣupti - deep-sleep state

When Jīva gets associated with these three states it is called viśva, taijasa and prājña respectively.
