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.

Vaivasvata

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Vaivasvata literally means ‘son of Vivasvān’.

Āditya, the Sun-god, is known as Vivasvān. His wife was Saiṅjñā. Vaivasvata was their son. He is also known as Vaivasvata-manu and Srāddhadeva. He is the seventh in the series of Manus. It is his rule, called Manvantara, that is going on now.
