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.

By Swami Harshananda

Sandhyāvandana literally menas ‘obeisance to God during dawn and dusk’.

The word sandhyā refers to that time when night passes into day and day passes into night. They are dawn and dusk respectively. The ritual of offering one’s obeisance to God during these periods is known as sandhyāvandana.
