Why religious Holy symbols are handled so casually?

Dear V.Bala Sir

It is just that we have become an insensitive commercial society. Let me share a story as an offender. I bought a whole lot of Ganesha keychains and gifted them. Iam worried now where they maybe hanging. One keychain I took to the matron of a RKM orphanage. This grand old lady is a sanyasini without the robes and always says no to gifts. I gave it since I thought surely she won’t mind God key chain for her big key bunch. She gave me a look and a smile, detached Ganesh from the key chain and gave Ganesh and the keychain to two old ladies visiting her from Matru mandir !! I came home chastised.

Hindus should resist Hindu talibanism.

I do not think space can selectively be denied to Hindu talibanism. Freedom, artistic or not, has to be uniformly applicable. There is bound to be opposition to Hussain's paintings for example because people know govt supports ban on depiction of prophet or release of davinci code.

Your comment may hold for A, not VA. For VA everything is real, even the dreams we have ....

Yes, but according to VA (or the upa), brahman (i.e., Narayana in VA terminology) supports even the tiniest atom from within and from outside. He is of course "anor aniyan mahato mahiyan" and everything is but a part of him ! So, my comment would hold good...

Nice intense pictures

Exactly my thoughts... "

I liked the pic of Rama, intense in battle, wounded, and heroic... it stays in my mind...

Mam,

In my opinion she did the right thing, as she would have thought that Lord Ganesh is meant to worship and certainly not to hang in a key chain as an attachment.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
