Do some people really find the Bhagavad Gita evil?

[Aupmanyav]

Free will is a choice in Hinduism.

You think conversion to Christianity in India is out of preference or free-will? No deciet, coercion or inducements is involved?

 

[Subhankar Zac]

Can we get back on topic?

Divisive policies of Hare Krishna. Not sure if it's an individual temple one or not, but on a website I came across how one Iskcon priest mentioned that eating the Prasadam of other deities causes karmic baggage and food prepared by atheists and non devotees is sinful.
Also, the Bhagavad gita commentary contains speeches against Buddhists and even calling them fools.
How is this not divisive?

I converted to Christianity to an American LGBT church that were more inclusive than Hindus.
No one forced me in fact I begged them to convert me and after 3-6 months they did.
Later I found out how the bible might not authentic, the beliefs of Christians too inconsistent with my ideas so I left it and adopted Buddhism.
Later after reading the Gita I took an interest in Hinduism too.

No, but it is a perverse form of love.

Perverse only if you are doing it with some person just because they look pretty or whatever. I think the emotional aspect is emphasized more in Hinduism, which is why it is encouraged to wait until you have a wife/husband or long-term SO.

 

[Aupmanyav]

Sexual emotions are poison in Hinduism?

"Ati sarvatra varjayet" (excess of everything is bad). There is a honored place for sex in life, but sex in marriage and lust are different things.

However, you will probably glad to know that now there is an LGBTQ 'akhara' (religious order) - Kinner Akhada - in India and Sri Laxmi Narayan Shukla is its first 'Mahmandaleshwar' (all-India head). He/She was a qualified engineer from a reputed institution of India (Banaras Hindu University).

Coronation of the Mahamandaleshwar, the procession and the video of the procession

See the LGBTQ accepting the money, honoring it and returning it to the devotees. See the LGBTQ taking the child in his/her arms, hugging it, blessing it and returning it to the parents. This is how the things are done in India.

The food offering reference is completely understandable, in my opinion.

That isn't necessarily any more divisive than what is necessary to portray the /specific religious practice, in it's correct manner.

We will see. Fantasy and reality...
This is India not Saudi Arabia... Let's see how that Ram temple comes into being.

This is not evangelical Christianity nor wahabbi Islam... This is Hinduism, so for me, it's divisive.
We have to agree to disagree on it I guess

"Oh, the horror... How will I find Simone else to waste my morning with? A fanatic illiterate unHindu who dares to touch the bhagavad gita with those hands and doesn't know who ARDHANARISHVARA is, was my only hope"
Bye Felicia! :*

Eh? That's just an innaccurate assessment of the dialogue, subject matter, etc.

 

[Chakra]

I would advise both @Subhankar Zac and @kalyan to lay off the confrontational tone.

This thread is not for anti Christian rhetoric nor will I tolerate violent words against any religion.

Okay, enlighten me in detail then. I wish understand your perception as well.

Then just report him. Doesn't Gita say that one should be composed in the face of adversity? Don't be a hypocrite.

What do you think of the Bhagavad Gita @Subhankar Zac?
