bhagvad gita
by Pavan on Jun 06, 2007 04:26 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

I would like to know what would happen if a hindu went to vatican, and try to preach bhagvad gita ?? Do you know what happened to all pagans in Europe ??

Kumar,
Read the reasons why temple performed rituals. Whoever not convinced and do not follow the rules need to go to that temple.

I feel humiliated when Indians speak and use English where it is not necessary. But I have to live with it. Because I know Angreji slavery is in our blood.

Kumar,
Dont you think the family should have enquired before entering the temple premises if it was ok ?
Will the pope appoint a hindu as his chief bishop for spreading the word of bhagvad gita ? or should he be converted ?? Why does the pope always have to a christian, why not a hindu or muslim ? Some can have rules and some cannot right ?

Pavan they didn't visit the temple to become the tantri (instead of the original tantri) or to become the pope. They went to seek Lord Krishna's blessings and protection for the infant. It's sad to see someone do blatant descrimination and people trying to spin and justify an evil act. Why? Just because you belong to a certain caste! It's shameful.

Exactly, there is a clear specific difference between being a visitor to a place and assuming a position of authority in that place. Pavan's argument is illogical and off the mark.

Mr Kumar, there was no discrimination against the family on entry/darshan. And, there wasn't any caste angle... so don't start off from where the wily minister left it.

one should allow every hindu and all converted back to hindus shold be given the status of brahmana officially as they are based on knowledge not on birth.
birth caste system is against hinduism and vedas and every hindu should be against this

That was 500 years ago, you had slavery in Europe and Sati & Jauhar in India then. Almost all religions have changed extremist positions with time, some sooner than others. As of now, no human is banned from entering any place in the Vatican and it hosted leaders like Dalai Lama, Vivekananda, Judaic Rabbis etc.
