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.

Aksayapātra

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
(Redirected from Aksayapatra)

By Swami Harshananda

Aksayapātra literally means ‘inexhaustible bowl’.

After losing the game of dice, when Yudhiṣthira (the eldest of the Pāndava princes) was living in exile in the forest Kāmyaka, he found it impossible to feed the ever increasing number of guests. Then he prayed to Surya (the sun God) and obtained the aksayapātra, a bowl which could supply any quantity of food until Draupadī ate from it.[1]
