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.

Uccaiśravas

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Uccaiśravas literally means ‘the horse whose ears are erect and high’.

This is a divine horse that emerged out of the Kṣīrasamudra[1] at the time of its churning by the gods and the demons. Indra chose to accept it as his royal horse.[2] It was pure white in color. The father of Satyavatī[3] was also known as Uccaiśravas.
