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.

Parameśvara

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Parameśvara literally means ‘the greatest Lord’.

Though the word refers to God as the supreme ruler of the universe, it is more commonly used to indicate Śiva, the third deity of the Trinity. The Viṣṇusahasranāma[1] too has used this term for Viṣṇu.
