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.

Deva-ṛṇa

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
(Redirected from Deva-rna)

By Swami Harshananda

Deva-ṛṇa literally means ‘debt to gods’.

A human being is said to be born under the load of three ṛṇas or debts. Deva-ṛṇa or the debt to be paid to the gods is one of them. It can be repaid by the regular and proper performance of the prescribed Vedic rites.
