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.

Uttaravedi

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Uttaravedi means the upper or high altar. It is erected in the east, situated within the sacrificial area, but outside the yāgaśālā.[1] It is a square mound. The actual measurements differ. It is used in some Soma sacrifices.
