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.

Lājahoma

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Lājahoma consists of the bride offering lāja or parched paddy grains into the homa fire while the bridegroom repeating the concerned mantras. It is symbolical of fecundity and prosperity.
