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.

Hey Saradhe ma

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

Translated by P. R. Ramachander

Hey Saradhe Ma,
Ajnantha se hame thar dhe ma

Oh mother Shradha,
Take us out from Ignorance

Thu swar ki devi, ye Sangith thujse
Har Sabdh thera, har geeth thujse,
Hum hai akele, hum hai adhoore,
Theri saran hum, humen pyar dhe ma,
Hey Saradhe ma, Hey Saradhe ma.

You are the Goddess of musical note and this music is from you,
All the words are yours, and all the songs are by you,
We are all alone, we are immature,
We are under your protection, Oh mother give us love,
Hey Mother Sarada, Hey mother Sarada.

Muniyon nee samji, muniyon ne jani,
Vedon ki bhasha purnan kee bhani,
Hum bhi tho samje, hum bhi tho jaane,
Vidhyaa ka humko adhikar dhe ma,
Hey Saradhe ma, Hey Saradhe Ma.

Sages understood, sages knew,
The language of Vedas, the language of epics,
We also understood, We also understood,
Please give us the right to knowledge, mother,
Hey Mother Sarada, Hey mother Sarada.

Thu sweth varni kamal pe viraje,
Hathon me Veena, Mukut sar pe saje,
Man se hamare mita ke andhere,
Humko ujalon ka samsar dhe ma,
Hey Saradhe ma, Hey Saradhe Ma.

You shine sitting on a white lotus flower,
You have Veena in your hand, You wear a crown on head,
Please remove darkness from our mind,
Oh mother give us the world with a great shine,

Hey mother Sarada, Hey mother Sarada
