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.

Haimavati

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Haimavati literally means ‘daughter of Himavān’.

Pārvatī, the consort of Lord Śiva, is known by several names. One of the names is Haimavati, since she was born as the daughter of Himavān, the king of the Himalayas. The Kenopaniṣad[1] declares that Umā Haimavati appeared before the crestfallen Indra and taught to him brahmavidyā or knowledge of Brahman.
