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.

Sri Venkatesa Dwadasa Nama Stotram


(The prayer of twelve names addressed to Lord Venkatesa)

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

1,Venkateso , Vasudeva , varijasana vandhita ,
Swami Pushkarani vasa , Shanka chakra Gadha dhara

1, Lord of Venkata mountain , son of Vasudeva ,Lord saluted by Lord Brahma,
He who lives in temple tank at Thirupathi , The lord who carries the conch and the wheel.

2,peethambaradhao deva , Garudarooda shobhitha ,
Viswathma, Viswalokesa Vijayo Venkateswara

He who wears yellow silk , God, He who shines riding on Garuda ,
The soul of the universe , Lord of the universe , The victorious one , The God of Venkata.

3.Yethath dwadasa naamani trisandhyam ya paden nara ,
Sarva papa nirmuktho Vishno sayujyamapnuyath.

If a human being reads these twelve names ,
At dawn , noon and dusk , he would get rid of all sins,
And make his own the world of Lord Vishnu.
