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.

Tārakamantra

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Tārakamantra literally means ‘a mantra that takes one across the ocean of sansāra’.

Though the term Tārakamantra can be applied to any mantra of God, it is specially reserved for Śrī Rāma. It can be either ‘Rāma’ or ‘Omh rāmāya namah’.
