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.

Sauti

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Sauti literally means ‘Suta’s son’.

In most of the purāṇas, the narrator is said to be Romaharṣaṇa who was also known as the Sutapaurāṇika. His son Ugraśravas was called Sauti.[1] Sauti narrated many purāṇas[2] to the ṛṣis of Naimiṣāraṇya. Once Balarāma killed him using a darbha[3] since he did not show enough respect. However, at the intervention of the sages, he restored him to life.
