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.

Sāndipani

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Sāndīpani was a well-known ṛṣi who was running a gurukula[1] in Avantī, a sacred city of ancient India. He was the teacher of Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma. At the end of their training, he requested them to get back his dead son who had been drowned in the sea. They killed the demon Pañcajana who had abducted him and visited god Yama in whose world they found the boy.
