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.

Varadarāja

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Varadarāja, the king among the bestowers of boons, is another aspect of Lord Viṣṇu which is very popular. Also known as Karivarada, it represents the aspect of Lord responsible for saving Gajendra, the elephant king, from the death-clutches of the crocodile. The temple of Śrī Varadarāja at Kāncīpuram in South India, is one of the most important and famous Viṣṇu temples.
