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.

Dākṣāyaṇi

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Dākṣāyaṇi literally means ‘Dakṣa’s daughter’.

Satī, being the daughter of Dakṣa, was also known as Dākṣāyaṇī. After giving up her body during the sacrifice performed by her father Dakṣa, she was reborn as the daughter of Himavān and Meṇā under the name Pārvatī.
