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.

Varāhāvatāra

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Varāhāvatāra literally means Boar Incarnation.

Varāhāvatāra is the third in the series of Daśāvatāras of Mahaviṣṇu in which the Lord killed the demon Hiraṇyākṣa and lifted the earth out of the flood waters in which it had been submerged.
