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.

Bhavāni

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
(Redirected from Bhavani)

By Swami Harshananda

Bhavāni literally means consort of Bhava or Śiva’.

Śiva, the last of the Trinity, is called ‘Bhava’ since the creation comes into being (bhavati asmāt) out of Him. Pārvatī, His consort is therefore known as ‘Bhavāni’.
