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 Hayagreeva

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

Translated by P. R. Ramachander

This horse faced form of Vishnu is worshipped as the God of learning.

Gnananda mayam devam nirmala spatikakruthim,
Aadharam sarva vidhyanam Haya greevam upasmahe.

My salutations to Lord Hayagreeva,
Who is personification of knowledge,
Who is as clear as the crystal,
And who is the foundation of all knowledge.
