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.

Vitala

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Vitala is the nether world which is just below Atala. Śiva lives here along with his wife Bhavāni and bhutas.[1] His name is Hāṭakeśvara. There is a river called Hāṭakī here. Agni drinks it's water. What he spits out, it becomes hāṭaka or gold.
