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.

Ganesh ki aarthi(Hindi)

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

Translated by P. R. Ramachander

Jai Ganes, Jai Ganes, Jai Ganes deva,
Matha Parvathi, Pitha Mahadeva,
Yeka danth, char bhuja, dhari,
Madhe sindhoor sohe moose ki Savari,
Andhan ko aankh deth Koodeen ko kaya,
Banjath ko puthra deth, nirdhan ko maya,
Haar chade, phool chade aur chade meva,
Laddu aan ka bhog lage santh kare Sevaa,
Denan ki laaj Rakho Shambhu puthra vari,
Manoradh ko poora karo jaya balihari.

Victory to Ganesh, Victory to Ganesh, Victory to God Ganesa
His mother is Goddess Parvathi and his father God Shiva,
He has one tusk and four hands,
He applies a thilak on his forehead and rides on a mouse,
He makes the blind see, gives a full body to the leper,
He blesses the childless one with child, and he gives wealth to the poor,
We offer him garland. We offer him flowers, we offer him sweets,
A great offering of Laddu is made and saints do service to him,
Oh son of Lord Shiva, Take the offering of beaten rice from us,
And fulfill our wishes and make us victorious, I submit to you.
