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.

Pṛsadajya

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Pṛsadajya literally means ‘speckled ghee’.

In Paśuyāgas[1] the pṛṣadājya is an important ingredient that is used to sprinkle over the heart of the animal immolated. It is actually a mixture of ājya or ghee sprinkled with curdled milk. The details of its preparation and use are generally dealt with in the Śrautasutras.[2][3]
