Yes. It is better to have a certain amount of healthy disrespect for the most respectable person too.

For instance, I somehow, can not appreciate the kind of brigaas that PM Das used to bring in in his singing. To me they sounded contrived/artificial and some how were affecting the otherwise smooth and natural flow of the music. Yes, he had a voice which was a gift from God and he sang only about God. I have my appreciation and respect for him but I am not able to give up my right to be critical of this particular aspect of his music.

I also tend to see how I gradually lost the initial euphoric feeling when I heard PM's bhakti songs for the first time (when I was in Mumbai). It now dawns on me that probably, the same kind of brigaas in almost every song created an unmistakable impression of stereotyped singing, much like what many of the villaDiccAn pATTu singers give us. However, in that case there is a story which we like to hear completely and this is absent in bhakti singing.
 
So, who has given those five *s??

BTW, I guess people can make fun of the living ones!! :pout:

To Belittle is to Be little - whether the living or the dead are involved. :evil:

But the living have a chance to defend their stand :argue:

and /or send a lawyer's notice if a celebrity. :croc:

What can the dead and gone do??? :(

1. The dead can become ghosts and haunt the people criticizing them.
2. Wife and relatives of the dead can use their muscles to fix those who are criticizing their dead loved ones.

I liked PMs voice . I did appreciate some of his songs . But I am not a fan of his singing .Nor I did appreciate his wearing the saffron.

I have some saffron coloured kurthas presented to me on occassions. Let me see to whom I should give it away. I am looking for the right candidates in my larger

circle who can act pious and get accepted in their social circle in saffron
 
Saffron is the color of sacrifice and self denial!
Actually it gives a fine character to the person who wears it.
Once my friend who runs an old age home got felicitated.
She looked gorgeous in her saffron colored sari.
Nothing else would have suited that occasion.
Every color has its own smell and taste.
Saffron makes a person sober, responsible and respectable. :)

These are all expected; but exceptions are huge in numbers!!
 
At 90+ years a person can hardly stand up without support!

I wonder how else, what else, where else can!

My two humble cents:

To Belittle is to Be little - whether the living or the dead are involved. -
Whether the living or the dead are involved -- hero worship is zero worship.

What can the dead and gone do?

The dead and gone are gone. Whenever they visit the world for their anniversaries, they can make their critics trip and fall if they see them walking down the road.

But the living have a chance to defend their stand
and /or send a lawyer's notice if a c
elebrity.

The living also have the chance to run and hide. LOL.
 
A very interesting piece of info-Why do sanyasis wear saffron dress

[h=1]Benefits of Orange ( Saffron )Colour[/h]
[h=4]Yogis and siddhars and many people to a great extent wear Orange dresses. Our sastras say, sanyasis have to wear saffron dress. The reasons behind wearing saffron dress and the benefits we get out of wearing saffron colour is mentioned below:[/h] - Orange dress helps develop wisdom.
- People wearing saffron dress always do soul-searching every minute.
- They start treating everybody alike.
- Saffron dress helps us get rid of our doubts and gives us peace of mind.
- Saffron dress helps us to think clearly without haste and speak clearly.
- Saffron dress gives us energy and keeps us active.
- Saffron colour gives us good health.
- Our sastras say, Saffron dress helps us to get rid of many diseases.
- It is said that diseases which are there for long like TB, Piles etc can be got rid of by wearing saffron dress.
- People suffering from back pain also get relief.
- Nervous problems and paralysis get relief.
- Kidney related problems get relief.
- We get relief from cold, breathing problems and headache.
- Most importantly blood gets purified.
Similarly many colurs have many benefits and uses.Sindooram is liked by Lord Hanuman, which is orange in colour. Not only this, this colour has so many benefits too.
When this colour has so many benefits, why should we not use it? Hence I prefer wearing this colour dress, which gives me intense pleasure in turn. You can also definitely give it a try.
It is not necessary to be a Sanyasi to wear Orange dress. But definitely retain the sanctity of this Orange colour.
