A village panchayat in Goa has “banned” kissing in public, arguing that “such an obscene behaviour” by some couples and holidayers creates nuisance.
The Salvador do Mundo village panchayat, near the State capital Panaji, recently passed a resolution, banning kissing in public, besides consumption of liquor and playing music aloud in the open.
“We adopted the resolution since we have been getting complaints from the locals about the obscene behaviour,” deputy sarpanch Reena Fernandes said.
The panchayat has put up banners urging the public and visitors to comply with the order.

Good!

But, who will stop such acts on Sing Chennai beaches? :D

I am not sure about the beaches, the last time i was there it was not clean enough to walk forget about kissing.
Then again do we want to ban kissing in Chennai!!!!!!!!!:ban::Cry::love:
 
Its not easy to suppress the desire to kiss..if I feel like kissing I just kiss.

I always kiss at airports..long passionate ones..who cares what others think!LOL

I have also kissed in shopping malls and cinema.
 
Renu! What is this?

Your dictionary seems to be different because you have written that you are a conservative! :D

Nothing doing. Why do you want to ban that pleasure in Sing chennai. Just tip a tenner to a fellow around the corner and set out behind a big boat and the fellow will stand guard till you finish your acts. Everyone will then be happy.

Enter self appointed Indian vigilante complaining about the cleanliness of Indian beaches. If the vigilante does not have time to visit U S beaches, he can surely surf through google (his favourite hobby) and know the truth about his country of residence.

In keeping with the **high standards of intellectualism** exhibited in this forum, here is the link to "10 Dirtiest Beaches in USA" as found by CBS News: Top 10 dirtiest beaches in America - Photo 1 - Pictures - CBS News.

Complaining is the easiest job in the world :)

You have no sense of humor. You would not understand it. My post was in response to Raji Ramji's post. You were chiding Kunjuji in another string for jumping in, you are the one jumping in here. Your rabid hatred of Prasad's or US is clouding your brain. You can always ignore my post, are you smart enough to find the ignore button on your own, if not ask for help.
This thread was about kissing and not cleanliness. You know what you are and I know what you are. If I write it I will get banned so I will not write it here.
 
Namaste Prasad ji,

Hope I am not too late to the party!

Western culture is so rotten I wish we do not imbibe it in our culture!

I have been to Goa back in 80's and I did not quite like it there!

I fear that if we incorporate all these Western ideals of public kissing, embracing and showing of affection, wearing bikini, etc, that our culture will slowly but surely die!

I like it that Western culture offers one the most freedom of expression but maybe we can stop with appreciating a few good things with Western culture and not totally become them!

Sorry, no offence meant, just expressing my thoughts! :)

Kissing in public can be from simple pecking to lip lock in awkward poses unable to de-entangle like canines. Anyway each village or beach can decide what is suitable for their environment and business. One must not go over the top, wherever the top may be.

Enlightened west too want to enforce sometimes become moral policing as some misguided(!) indians do. Burnaby is one example. UK too is prudish.

1. A mayoral candidate in Burnaby, B.C. wants to ban kissing and holding hands in public.

Sylvia Gung is taking her second stab at running for mayor of the Vancouver suburb, and she is pledging to establish a "wholesome society," according to her candidate profile on the city's website.

She wants to ban "behaviors that hints sex/ sexuality, even including Bridal Kiss and walking hand in hand, that hurt public decorum and lead to further violence [sic]."
Gung also wants to get rid of the school board, which she says "[thwarts] its political agenda down the throat" of public education, and to change the "backward organizations" that are the unions and parent advisory councils.

Gung moved to Canada from Korea when she was 27, according to Burnaby Now.
Gung is one of six candidates for the position; among them is incumbent Derek Corrigan, who has been mayor since 2002. Voters head to the polls on Nov. 1


When it comes to public displays of affection (PDA) Britain is divided, with 45 per cent against public passion.

2. Half of Londoners said PDA made them feel uncomfortable, while 35 per cent said kissing in front of other people was "inappropriate, rude and dirty".

Loved-up Brits should instead head to Nottingham if they want some public passion as here 55 per cent of people positively embrace outdoor romance.
The north-south divide continues in Leeds - where one in five believe public kisses are 'sweet' - and Manchester where more than a third are in favour of street smooching.
Over a quarter of those living in Cardiff have never kissed passionately in public but more than 60 per cent of people living in Kent have admitted to experiencing a little on-street steaminess.

Karen Moore, from Philips Sensual Massagers, which carried out the study, said: “Britain has always been accused of being a prudish nation, especially compared to other European countries but this shouldn’t be the case.

"Providing we don’t go over the top, we should all feel comfortable kissing our partner in public. Kisses are such an important part of a relationship as they allow us to keep our relationships intimate and shouldn’t be frowned upon.”When it comes to public displays of affection (PDA) Britain is divided, with 45 per cent against public passion.

No offense taken.
West has nothing to teach Indian in the art of Sex. India wrote the book on it (kamasutra).
As for explicit erotic art you just need to visit Kujaraho Temple.
The Chandela temples of Khajuraho in central India built in the tenth century A.D. Contain stunningly explicit sexual sculptures.

Sometimes we do not know our own Culture and blame others.

What is moot is why those khajuraho poses were not practiced for public in public. Such erotic sculptures may be found in most of the temple pillars, gopurams. and 'ther'. Quoting khajuraho from wiki to project hindus as a permissive society is the western influence at play. One can go to any temple in tamilnadu, need not rush to khajuraho!
 
Some people are born "IxXXX' others have the acquire it.
Some have perfected the art of being dense or dunce. The sub continent in ancient times was far too advanced for people with today's morality. If you think wiki information is western you are dumber than you look. Wiki is repository of all information, there are various contributor to wiki including some of us who cares. You can check Kamat's site as well. There is nothing to be ashamed except for people who do not understand Indian culture.
Kamat's Potpourri: Beautiful Erotic Sculptures of Khajuraho, India

May be the RSS has not put a memo about ancient Indian culture for people who only get their information from RSS. The parrots do not understand, they just mimic what they hear.

Dear Prasad ji,

There is a 'tattwam' behind why our temples have those erotic sculptures crafted in the vimanas. That is to represent that all of man's menial and sexual thoughts should be left behind as he enters the sacred 'sanctum sanctorum'. Besides this, they do not have any value.
 
I think we should strictly follow Indian culture which always requires the woman to follow at least 5 steps behind her man, without daring to look up!

I believe abduction of women should be allowed (as practiced by Gods and demi Gods in our puranas), but certainly no PDA!
 
As usual the loudmouth has lost the core issue; people were not performing gymnastic sex or exhibitionist sex in public. Hindu culture haters hate because they don't understand, have not learnt dharma from their parents and elders. Pity them we must, but must not be allowed to shout their abusive ignorance, layered with borrowed kudarka wisdom.

This piece from the same wiki source does not portray exhibitionist sex is the mainstay of hindu culture. "The temples have a rich display of intricately carved statues. While they are famous for their erotic sculpture, sexual themes cover less than 10% of the temple sculpture.[SUP][29][/SUP] Further, most erotic scene panels are neither prominent nor emphasized at the expense of the rest, rather they are in proportional balance with the non-sexual images.[SUP][30][/SUP] The viewer has to look closely to find them, or be directed by a guide.[SUP][31][/SUP] The arts cover numerous aspects of human life and values considered important in Hindu pantheon. Further, the images are arranged in a configuration to express central ideas of Hinduism. All three ideas from Agamas are richly expressed in Khajuraho temples - Avyakta, Vyaktavyakta and Vyakta".

"Sometimes we do not know our own Culture and blame others" implying that kissing (or more action) in public is sanctified by khajuraho and sanctioned by society of those days. Wiki is a source of introductory knowledge, is a reference and not authority. It is a collation from references given, does not automatically elevate to pramana. Now what is ref 32?
 
I want to share an information here since the sculptures on temple gOpurams are under discussion.

Some bhakthAs were worried about some erotic sculptures on the gOpuram of a temple because they became prominent

when painted with suitable colors, during the renovation! Kanchi seer gave a good solution for the dilemma. He advised to

paint a single color on gOpurams. That is why some temples in Sing. Chennai have single color on the gOpurams. :thumb:
 
Needs validation. I think JJ insisted that the gopurams are to be painted in off white, kavi; and stapatis objected and insisted on use of colours. It is now mixed, some are coloured and some are off white.
I hope zealous wiki watchers do not jump to the conclusion that the gopurams painted off white are rich in erotic sculptures.
 
"The parents who wish to teach their children the fine difference between sex and art should take their children to Khajuraho."

These are the closing remarks of Dr. Kamat, author of the blog referred in an earlier post. Since the modern so called liberals want to free every soul from the shackles of orthodoxy, present and future generation can learn all from visit to Singara C and goa beaches, accompanied by willing and shy parents.
 
Needs validation. ........
I heard it from the 'horse's mouth'. He is the member of a temple committee in Sing. Chennai and a member of our forum too!

I had a long chat with him to know about 'sudhai' in temples.
The sudhai of New York Mahavallabha Ganapathi is to be added to

Sri Manakula Vinayakar temple at Puducherry. KumbAbhishEkam of th
at temple is to be performed on 3rd April 2015.

P.S: The sudhai which will be in the prahAram of the temple is sponsored by one of Ram's cousins from Philly. :)
 
Renu! What is this?

Your dictionary seems to be different because you have written that you are a conservative! :D

dear RR ji,

Yes..I am still very conservative...all conservative wives only kiss their husbands.

You should try it..when going for a walk in the mall and just give a quick kiss to your husband...its fun.

Dear Renu,

No way! I am not fond of PDA!!

FYI, I go shopping either alone or with my sisters or friends! :D

dear RR ji,

I also used to be like you at one time..afraid of PDA but as I age I am becoming shameless.

I feel there is no need to hide our true emotions and feelings cos life is always so uncertain.

Nowadays I do not filter my thoughts..for example when I attended a seminar yesterday I was told by the organizers to occupy the front seats..I told them "nope..I prefer the back seats cos I can day dream at the back seats".

The organizing staff started laughing and said "well you are right"

So you see now I dont hide anything..just say and do what I want.

I like going shopping alone too but I prefer going with husband cos then I will make him buy some new stuff for himself too..I give good fashion tips to him and make him choose trendy new stuff.

I dont like shopping with other females cos some females cant hold that many heavy bags like males are able too.
