Can't speak on behalf of Hindus, but, could the acceptance of Hindu mythology being used more widely in the West actually have positive results for Hinduism? I would love to see Hollywood flicks depicting the Ramayan or Mahabharat (the special effects would be much better than the cheesy Indian ones), and it would tremendously expand the audience to Hindu mythology.Because unlike Hinduism, Greek Paganism is a dead religion. The correct Analogy would be say...a Jesus branded condom (with suitable graphic depiction) or something similar.
Even though I'm not religious, I can understand that the picture is going to offend people.
I second thatKali ma beer is anyday better than gow mootra anyday
I cant believe I actually Liked your Post :shocked:Can't speak on behalf of Hindus, but, could the acceptance of Hindu mythology being used more widely in the West actually have positive results for Hinduism?

Much like how a series of media releases have brought Greek mythology back to the forefront, resulting in several revived Paganistic organizations.
Heck, even the God of War series, which is now heading towards being turned into a movie, itself has given a tremendous boost to Greek mythology.
I think being more open to the use of Hindu mythology in the West will only help in culturally empowering Hinduism.
1. So do we Own it?, If So How?How would I know ? Start a poll in your hometown and get answers.
All I care about is misappropriation of our icons. Kalimark (does it literally mean Kali Mark ?) is an Indian brand so that's not a cause for concern.
So what? What have the Hindu Nazis done to improve the cultural reach of India, or HinduismYes, it trivializes our culture to a wide audience
My point was that, this is similiar to the Hindu Nazis saying that the "ONLY" Brahminical aspects of the Hinduism are true. Just like the Europeans are trying to steal our greatness as theirs- Hope you catch my meaningRead the article. They've de-linked Yoga from India and called it common "Proto-Indo-European" heritage.
Some have gone further and come up with "Christian Yoga".
In simpler terms (with examples)
1. These guys try to take control of sophisticated Indian philosophical works by terming it as common "Proto-Indo-European" heritage.
I thought you would say there was no such thing as caste discrimination in India2. At the same time, while assimilating all the good parts. They'll never call the caste system "Proto-Indo-European heritage"
SO you do believe that Hinduism has only Brahmanical aspects?. No I dont believe in Periyar's theoriesYou can contribute more here http://defenceforumindia.com/forum/...2-periyar-dravidian-ideological-movement.html
Thanks for proving my point. You Act exactly like the Typical Hindu Zealot. Look, If you dont want to drink that beer, then dont drink it.why not because we are not shameless pig like them
we are Indian and govt should give the strong message either stop it or we will break our all relation with the country
So you are not that big a troll as claimed by many?Why hindus should get angry at some kali-ma beer when hindus themselves disrespect their Gods.Loads of Hindu Gods Pics are littered in trashbins by hindus themselves in india.isnt it a hypocrisy on their part.
Exactly, when we point out hypocrisy of others, we should ourselves be free from hypocrisyWhy muslims should get enraged at terrorism when many muslims participate in it with full dedication and vigor?
Aren't you generalizing and extrapolating things here?
We have learned too much from Islamic rules and rulers lolWhy hindus should get angry at some kali-ma beer when hindus themselves disrespect their Gods.Loads of Hindu Gods Pics are littered in trashbins by hindus themselves in india.isnt it a hypocrisy on their part.
Shiva Mark GanjasI made another Gif that i wanted to post as my avatar.
As far as I know, Hollywood has patents over Roman Civilization now , you want it, do it first.I don't want to "preserve culture" or "patent it". I want India and Indians to maintain ideological control over their own icons and philosophy.
