Do some people really find the Bhagavad Gita evil?

[Aupmanyav]

On the other hand, I've seen pictures of carvings on temples that are downright pornographic!

Khajoraho temples have depictions of homoerotic images. Also of bestiality as well.

IMHO, it is sort of 'tantric' - 'kill the poison with poison'. It is a cathartic treatment before one enters the court of the deity.

Iskcon has adopted policies that are very divisive.
For examples many priests believe that the offerings given out to other deities shouldn't be eaten, food prepared by atheists shouldnt be eaten.
Plus its more ritualistic which I find unsuitable with the liberal views of the Gita.

Just a clarification, not all Gaudiyas are from ISKCON. Now, is what you say true? about the other deities? That is quite disrespectful. The gopis worshiped Durga to make Lord Krishna their husband, and he did not object to this. Although, in Vaishnavism, deva worship is only performed for material desires; wishing to attain moksha will not do, as devas cannot give moksha. As for atheists not being allowed to prepare food, i do understand what they are doing, as they are not the Lord's devotees. They don't understand. Let them be. Finally, how are they ritualistic? Isn't it clear to them that Bhakti, or love of God is more important than rituals?

Sexual emotions are poison in Hinduism?

No, but it is a perverse form of love.

Who said that Hindus shouldn't have support groups?
Support groups can also be made of true gurus who understand the Hindu culture.
Never in the past has Hinduism condemned homosexuality and the texts that do also condone vile forms of casteism.
Hinduism never speaks of burning the children of an Australian missionaries or the houses of Christians in Orrisa, converted or not... Free will is a choice in Hinduism.
Nor should beef be banned in India. Either total vegetarianism or let people what they wish.

Many gurus in India who know what Hinduism really preaches are welcome to help other Hindus.
Feeding children than making plans for higher temples.
Giving milk to children than putting it on the linga.
Such concepts contradict the omnipresence aspect of God.

All religious groups should have support groups, but not at the expense of my life and dignity.

Instead of trying to attack caste system which Gita did not mentionnin the first place, why dont u mention the thousands of varieties of Christians always fighting each other...The missionaries in India employ the same tactic as you...its because of their own insecurity..ppl like make u hate christians more!

I m.saying that, some Iskcon priest on a hare Krishna page said it some months ago.

They are ritualistic in my view with yagna, different practices for festivals of Krishna, giving Ghee to Krishna and other rituals.
I prefer where I can only meditate on him or Buddha without any rituals or chants.

 

[kalyan]

The only troll here is you.
No one asked for vilification of Christians. Also your posts have been reported for hate speech.
Shameful that such people like yourselves can even go near the Gita

Dont be a baby and I am curious which state of India you are in and how much money did u actually got for like conversion?

 

[Desert Snake]

Divisive... Religiously correct would be Bhakti by soul,pure devotion.
Not division between Hinduism.

This answer to my question is not an answer to my question. You are answering in a fictional context, and also assuming that the religious precepts you mentioned here, are creating division, or whether that's even relevant.

So this is only preference? You only say they put emphasis on rituals because of your opinion? Giving ghee to Lord Krishna is a wonderful thing to do. It is also a loving act. Do you have the link on what the priest said?

 

[Aupmanyav]

Yes, but that 1.2 billion people also includes LGBT that their allies and members prefer to be jailed or electrocuted.
It involves Muslims about whom their allies spread hate speeches and ransacked churches in Haryana.

The Supreme Court has said that the LGBT cannot be prosecuted under the old laws. If the Muslims indulge in terrorist activities then what should they expect other than hate and anger. Evangelism and proselytization is a demographic attack.

So in a court, the judge while sentencing a rapist should focus on murderers and genocidal war mongers?

Your logic is dangerously communal from the very beginning.
Forgive me, but feel free to live in the lake of hate that you've created. I m out.

Non Violence is listed as one of 26 Dev-guna in the Gita.
I m not against persecuting terrorists, but not just the Muslim ones.
And attacking terrorists is fine, but not innocent Muslims who have nothing to do with hate and forced conversions and definitely not a child.
I can forgive rape or even murder in some cases, but nothing is more appalling to me that hurting an innocent child.

So, what is this?

Did Krishna say that one 'varna' is above the other? No. His best friend, Vidura, considered the wisest person of his time, was the son of another great Shudra, who compiled the Vedas and wrote 18 puranas of Hinduism, and who is considered an avatara of Lord Vishnu, VedaVyasa. All the four are parts of the body of the society, having arisen from the same source, Purusha.

Bahahahahaha!! If you are done with your petty insults, Adios!
My thread isn't for communal hate groups.

Wasn't Vidura the brother of Dhritrashtra and Pandu? Also the ethics minister of Hastinapura?

Did they deliver u a photo of yeshua..things ppl do 4 petty money..next time a missionary approaches me I am gonna punch him in his ugly face

Join ISIS. You can do much more.

Wat do u want to know...we have a virus called conversion...the xstian missionaries lure poor people and give them money and convert gullible ppl..that is how it grew and that is what it does
