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.

Gupta-godāvarī

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Gupta-godāvarī literally means ‘the hidden Godāvarī’.

Nearly 10 kms. (6 miles) from the Atri-Anasuyā Āśrama of Citrakuṭa in Uttar Pradesh, there is a dark cave. About 15 meters (50 ft.) inside this cave, there is a pond called ‘Sītākuṇḍa’. Water streams constantly fall into this pond. Pilgrims consider taking bath here equal to a bath in the sacred river Godāvarī. Hence it is named as ‘Gupta-godāvarī’.
