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

Āryaman literally means ‘destroyer of foes’.

Āryaman or Āryamā is one of the Vedic deities mentioned as an aspect of Āditya, the sun. He is the third among the twelve Adityas. Mythological lore describes him as a son of the sage Kaśyapa and his wife Aditi and as the chief of pitṛs or manes.
