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.

Sākini

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Sākini is an aspect of the Divine Mother.[1]

Each of the six cakras or psychic centers in the human body is associated with a Śakti as the presiding deity. The Śakti of the viśuddhacakra is called Śākini, the Śiva aspect being Sadāśiva. She wears yellow garments and has four hands in which she carries bow, arrow, noose and goad.
