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.

Tirthas

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Tirthas literally means places of pilgrimage.

An actual tirtha is the cultivation of virtues like truth, knowledge and the company of the spiritually great souls. It is not the physical places of pilgrimage.
