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.

Tejas

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Tejas literally means ‘light’.

In the philosophical systems, this is one of the five bhutas or elements. It indicates the third, the element of fire. In ordinary parlance it means brightness or effulgence.
