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.

Satyabhāmā

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Satyabhāmā was one of the aṣṭa-mahiṣīs or eight queens of Kṛṣṇa. She was the daughter of Satrājit, a chieftain of the Yadu race. In her previous life, she was Guṇavatī, daughter of a pious brāhmaṇa Devaśarman. Due to her purity of life, austerities and devotion to Viṣṇu, she was reborn as Satyabhāmā and got Kṛṣna as her husband. Kṛṣṇa brought the pārijāta[1] tree from heaven on her demand. Once she was obliged to accept defeat by Rukmiṇi, the chief queen of Kṛṣṇa, whose devotion proved to be greater than hers.
