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.

Morning prayer to Ganapati

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

Translated by P. R. Ramachander

Elder son of Lord Shiva and Parvathy he is the remover of all obstacles. He has an elephant face and rides on a mouse.

Vakra Thunda Maha Kayam, Koti Soorys Sama prabham,
Nirvignam Kuru me Deva, sarva karyesshu sarvadha.

He who has an immense body,
He who has a broken tusk,
He who shines like billions of Suns,
Remove all hindrances,
From all my work and for all times
