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.

Yogānarasiṅha

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Yogānarasiṅha is one of the variant forms of Narasiṅha, the fourth incarnation of Viṣṇu in the Daśāvatāra list. Narasiṅha is shown as sitting, absorbed in deep yogic meditation. There is a band, ‘yogapaṭṭa’ binding his legs at the level of the knees. Of the four hands, the upper two carry the cakra[1] and śaṅkha[2] while the two lower hands are resting on the knees.
