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.

Pratāparudra Deva

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Pratāparudra Deva, king of Orissa,[1] was a descendant of the Suryavanśa.[2] Though a valiant king, he was deeply influenced by Śrīkṛṣṇa Caitanya[3] and became his initiated disciple. As a result, he neglected the affairs of the State and started spending most of his time in spiritual pursuits. Under his patronage, the Oriya language developed remarkably well. Several works on bhakti or devotion to Kṛṣṇa were composed in his time.
