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 Shiva Lingam

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

Translated by P. R. Ramachander

Lord Shiva is normally worshipped in the form of Linga Except for a few exceptions like Nataraja, Dakshinamurthy etc, he is always represented in the form of Linga.

Deva muni pravararchitha lingam,
Kama Dahana karunakara lingam,
Ravana darpa vinasana lingam,
That pranamai Sada shiva lingam.

Salutations to the Linga which is ever peaceful,
Who is worshipped by Gods and sages,
Who burnt in to ash the God of love,
Who is the giver of mercy,
And who destroyed the pride of Ravana.
