A superb and comprehensive essay detailing how the colonial legacy is still embedded in Hindu minds through Language, leading to self-inflicted denigration and a subconscious identification with anything Western as superior. https://t.co/7vpTPHy6sX
This article is from a writing programme called Tattva which seeks to develop young people from the Dharmic tradition.

Ancient India’s culture, attacked by European modernism, overpowered in the material field, betrayed by the indifference of her children, may perish forever along with the soul of the nation that holds it in its keeping.

Only then will we recover our native suppleness and independence of mind, and learn to question West and India alike, past and present alike. Only then will we regain our discernment, Viveka, our only possible beacon in the growing gloom. https://t.co/eDy0tV6HoH

In Vedic thought Yoga comes from the Sun, Surya as the Atman or Purusha, the Self and light of all. It is likely all the ancient solar religions had some form of Yoga or union with the cosmic light. Summer solstice is ideal for Yoga Day.

All Christians don't live in a single nation nor all Muslims or Buddhists. In that sense, India as the only nation of Hindus is anomalous due to its abnormal size and population. Multiple vibrant languages additionally make the matter worse. High time to overthrow British legacy.

Avoiding false assurances is important. Traditional modes of Yoga or Ayurveda can't have verifiable results. Similarly chanting of texts or performing rituals won't give definite benefits. So any outfit providing intellectual bulwark to such claims and promises lacks credibility.

This mire must harbour the orchid and the rose,
From her blind unwilling substance must emerge
A beauty that belongs to happier spheres.
- Sri Aurobindo ("SAVITRI")
