Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children Book Cover.webp
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.

By Swami Harshananda

Ariṣṭanemi literally means ‘the felly of whose wheel is unhurt’.

  • Ariṣṭanemi was one of the five sons of Vinatā and Kaśyapa, and a brother of the famous Garuḍa. Sometimes, the sage Kaśyapa himself has been known by this name.
  • The Pāṇḍava prince Sahadeva had assumed this name when he lived in Virāṭanagara, in disguise.
  • It is also the name of the twenty- second Tīrthaṅkara of the Jains.
