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.

Rṣabha

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Rṣabha was the son of king Nābhi and queen Merudevī. He was a great king. He had a hundred sons from his queen Jayantī. He made over the kingdom to Bhārata, his eldest son, and retired to the forest to perform austerities in the āśrama[1] of the sage Pulaha. The mountain peak on which he did austerities was called Rṣabhakuṭa. Due to his curse, since he did not want any noise to disturb him, the whole place became lonely and silent. He gained many yogic powers by his tapas.[2] After attaining the goal of his life, he gave up his body in the forest fire.
