It is your prerogative not to answer the question; however, its relevancy is not yours to decide but up to us who read your comments in a public forum. If you find the picture of a Hindu goddess disgusting, citing a parallel case in Christianity is relevant. If you can mock the mouse as having nuclear power to carry an elephant, the same mockery befits Jesus having anti-gravitational powers to walk on water or Moses having hydromagnetic powers to part the red sea. What is irrelevant is whether or not you attended IIT-Madras at a considerably young age of sixteen while carrying a forbidding-looking volume of the latest edition of the thesaurus for intensive study.
Dont you accept a dead man - who could not save himself - and pray to "save you" on a daily basis hoping he will resurrect you from death like he rose from the dead ? Do you think it is also ridiculous?
and if I do, rashmun's picture of his goddess would still be as disgusting and.crude as ever.
Thank you for explaining a question you dodged a million times over the years whenever you abused hinduism, hindus and hindu Gods/Godesses.
Oh...BTW...you are going to hell....

Hahaha @ whine. What a cowardly way to sidestep a logical question! Where did I say that the picture(s) Rashmun posted were not disgusting? Or, for that matter, where did I say that the elephant riding on the mouse was not ridiculous? I am only saying that such depictions of horrific images or idiotic miracles are not just confined to Hinduism, that you are so wont to ridicule, but explicit in Christianity as well, a religion I am yet to see you criticize on this forum.
this is what I imagine your face looks like:

Don't worry, nothing fazes Saamiyaar; you are wasting your time trying to ruffle his cheerful insouciance.
It never fails to amuse me that, whenever you lose an argument, your last-ditch effort is to not only resort to name-calling but also blatantly lie about the other person's beliefs. If there has been anyone here close to whining, a dispassionate observer would point his finger firmly at you for bleating like a wounded old goat whose testicles were chewed out by a passing mongoose.

That defense holds no water. Nothing is written in stone, not even etched in warm butter, that discussions should only be confined to the pictured post when it is used to insinuate that only the Hindus are worshippers of horrid-looking images. The minute you opened that door, Christianity became relevant as a parallel case. In essence, you have lost the debate. EOD.

Re: My Goddess
Rashmun, this is the artistic representation of a mythological evil destroyer. It is used by the devotee to seek protection from evil, since it represents the destroyer of evil. Love, blessing and forgiveness of sins are not intended in this case.Rashmun wrote:

Lord Shiva is also known as the destroyer of evil. But he is known for showering love, blessing and forgiveness as well. Your interpretation of hindu mythology and iconography may not be the same as mine; that makes it more beautiful. Let's keep it that way.

I come across heaven and hell often in hinduism but I am not sure how old these concepts are, i.e., in Hinduism; is it before christianity or after? is there any citation wrt this in early literature of hinduism? I might have asked this question before in this forum.

My entire knowledge of Hinduism comes from listening to my nanny growing up, who was big on karma and rebirths... common theme was that you come back over and over in whatever forms, human form being the result of a still good score karma-wise. You then live a life based on your past karma, and you keep improving it until you attain moksha.
As an aside, I was in a slow moving traffic today for about 30 minutes, and I let everyone at all intersections pass or join in, as long as there was a good gap for them. I guess I added a lot of karma points to my life today.

so moksha is more like the termination of soul's journey and it has no distinctive residence, just wandering like free birds
aside: Lol.. nice of you, particularly for left turners coming in single lanes; and, I get annoyed with people who leave big gaps, in slow moving situations; sure, traffic ain't moving so what's the point in closing the gap seem natural but then, there are people behind, who would want to make left turns/right turns with or w/o feeder lanes - lots of people of oblivious of this lot..grrr.

oops I guess I earned equal bad karma as well... but most of this was on intersections that you are not supposed to block anyway. I hate people who keep driving on intersections whether there is space after crossing it or not. And then it stops and they are stupidly sitting there while a car is stopped coz of them with their indicators on. I was once rear ended that way... the idiot had no room, still he crossed the traffic light, in a high speed too, and banged into me thinking it's still a moving traffic.

Re: My Goddess
As it happens the Lord (Shiva) and his energy / power (Shakti) are inseparable according to the religio-philosophy. Even when Shakti is the dominant consideration, as some Shaktism followers believe (in contrast to the usual Shaivism), Shiva is not far from Shakti. Btw Shiva and Shakti together also represent the male / female dualism, without one being separate from the other. As for the image of Kali as destroyer of evil, that is just one image of the goddess (Shakti) and it enables the devotee to envision Lord's power in the particular form; the others being Saraswati (the goddess of knowledge), and so on. Ultimately, all the images (forms and representations) of goddess (as Kali, Saraswati and so on) express basically the same power (Shakti) of the Lord (Shiva).Rashmun wrote:Seva Lamberdar wrote:Kali / Shakti in this form merely represents the destructive power of Shiva against evil, as indicated above.

I am in agreement with the main points of your post. But the last two sentences of your post demonstrate a Shaivite outlook whereas as you correctly mention in your post there exists the alternative Shakta outlook according to which Shakti is dominant and primary and Shiva is of secondary importance.

do you find this particular image rashmun posted objectionable, or do you find the general notion of the depiction of a figure of divinity vanquishing the forces of evil, objectionable? in other words is your reaction specific to just this image, or the entire genre of art based on this theme?
i did not then, and i am not now, trying to insinuate anything. it is a question born out of genuine curiosity and i am hoping we can have an interesting and polite conversation about this.
Max, I honestly don't understand the difference between the two questions: (1) "Do you object to this particular image?" and (2) "Do you find the particular image objectionable?
Just asking. No big deal.
swapna made a fair point -- that he didn't object to the picture that rashmun posted. in fact he did not. he said he merely found it distasteful. so my characterization of what he said is inaccurate.
objectionable means finding something distasteful. that is in fact the word i had originally intended to use, but got distracted with something else, and when i finally did post, i said he objected to the image. in any case, i stand corrected. i am still interested in learning whether he only finds that particular image distasteful (i do too for its crude and kitschy nature), or if he finds the entire genre of durga/mahishasura mardini art including ancient sculptures distasteful. the latter can be found in many museums around the world and is one of many iconographic themes in hindu art alongside nataraja, ganesha etc.
it also finds expression in carnatic music (less important since it is more about music than about libretto) and bharathanatyam (more important), which he has said he enjoys.
can you split semantics a bit finer please?
he's been complaining about how that picture is scary, evil and makes him pee in his depends late at night etc etc. does it matter whehter he objected to it or found it objectionable? it's strange to see someone with strong opinions on most things bend over backwards to accommodate this IBS fool's gimmickry.

It is still not as scary as stoning Mina. What do you think?

Swapna what was your aesthetic response to seeing the above picture? It is of super model Heidi Klum dressed as Goddess Kali. Clearly Heidi does not share your horror and revulsion with respect to the iconography of Goddess Kali.

more interesting is the hypocrisy of a person, all of whose education was received at madras christian college and saint stephen's college, who was a resident of saint thomas's hall, and whose most intimate moments in life were and are shared with christians.
almost surely, there are pictures of jesus in his home - there has never been one in mine - and none of a "revered" goddess who severs human heads and drinks fresh, human blood.
could that be because the craven hypocrite will gratuitously support the vulgarity of that picture only at a forum where nearly all the members are staunch hindus? are we witnessing caste duty being performed?

1. visiting thirupathy, clad in the silken vest that the senior mrs seetharamayya had "stitched" for him.
2. shaving his head at thirupathy, as a sign of his devotion;
3. force-feeding young varalakshmi (also called veronica in dallas, and kareena in hyd) a large dose of junnu;
4. accepting, albeit with much grumbling, the heavy growth of black hair on vani's legs as karma, like a good hindu should.
propa apparently believes that, having fulfilled his caste duties, his gods and goddesses will allow him to fling filth at others, ethics and taste be damned.

** "offended" is not the right word; "angry" and "insecure" that I described the picture of the goddess that rashmun posted as disgusting, are probably more apt descriptions of your feelings.
** worship whomever you want, depict anyone any way you want; post anything you want, but don't be surprised to learn that should you post or support the posting of graphical images of human heads, arms, hearts, or testicles, apparently wrenched off a live human being, and blood being collected in a bowl, and.body parts strewn about for consumption, I will ask questions on not only your taste, but your intelligence, and your beliefs, no matter what the symbolism is.
** yes, I have guidelines, but they don't include silence at just-severed human heads held by the hair and spewing blood and innards.

more interesting is the hypocrisy of a person, all of whose education was received at madras christian college and saint stephen's college, who was a resident of saint thomas's hall, and whose most intimate moments in life were and are shared with christians.
almost surely, there are pictures of jesus in his home - there has never been one in mine - and none of a "revered" goddess who severs human heads and drinks fresh, human blood.
could that be because the craven hypocrite will gratuitously support the vulgarity of that picture only at a forum where nearly all the members are staunch hindus? are we witnessing caste duty being performed?
Gee whiz ... (sorry, I couldn't help bursting out with laughter!) ... did I touch a nerve?
Were you seething, foaming at the mouth, while indulging in this invective harangue?
Did you spill your morning quota of prune juice in the process?
You lost the argument fair and square but, being the sore loser that you are, you just can't let it rest.
There is no use in your trying to draw me into further discussions baiting me with your patented words like hypocrisy, ingratiation and gratuity.
We are done.

It is still not as scary as stoning Mina. What do you think?

Don't gloat, my dear silly fellow. People with incontinence are known to have such hallucinations. It will pass and reality will sink in, and you will urinate profusely.

Re: My Goddess
Swapna - you comment on one religion's goddess, you open the door to all religious pictures, Jesus included.
You lost the argument. Judgement in favor of goodCitizen.
Anyone with a positive IQ can see you lost. If you can't see it, we'll know why.
But I think you see it. You just don't like what you see.

no, woman, look up at the title and original poster of this thread, and you'll see that it was rashmun who opened the door. he was also the first to make the irrelevant comment on christian images, which I stated to be just that, and ignored.seven wrote:Swapna - you comment on one religion's goddess, you open the door to all religious pictures, Jesus included.

it's interesting to see you whine about the doors that rashmun opened of his own choice, and gdctzn opened gratuitously (or "gravitationally," as the latter would describe it).

Why should you shy away from doing a comparative analysis of Hindu and Christian iconography? You have explained your horror and revulsion for the image and iconography of Kali. The point being made here is whether you experience similar revulsion when viewing the image of a young Caucasian male dragged through the streets bearing a wooden cross and wearing a crown of thorns. Subsequently the hands and feet of this young man are impaled on the cross with a hammer. Nailed to the cross this young man is held aloft and jeered at and tortured thus till he dies a horrible and painful death.
Why are you sharing with us your feelings when viewing the Kali image but not when viewing the other image? You may say "because I don't want to." If that is your excuse then I will accept it and drop the matter.
