• Nepal – Hindu kingdom recovering from trouble

  22 November 05 • 1 comment

  Nepal, the tiny country landlocked between India and China, is the only Hindu country and monarchy in the world. It has been about a decade of close to civil war with the Maoist terrorists fighting the government to convert the Hindu monarchy into a Communist republic. Today, the Maoists have offered to end their bloody…

• Orissa temples highly Xenophobic

  20 November 05 • 3 comments

  Temples in Orissa practise xenophobia and are extremely rigid about it. The priests in these temples think it is their right to deny foreigners entry into the temples, and are even unrepentant about this. It was very sad to read that the Thai princess, Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, was denied entry into the Puri Jagannath temple…

• VHP – the Nation’s laughing stock!

  19 November 05 • 8 comments

  VHP comes out very regularly with hilarious comments that remind me of living in a pig sty! Acharya Dharmendra, a VHP leader, has now criticized Sania Mirza and accused her of destroying the institution of marriage with her comments. Sania Mirza said “it was not others’ business to decide whether she wears a six inches…

• Even God may NOT know!

  14 November 05 • 2 comments

  Skepticism, Atheism and Agnosticism are integral parts of Hinduism – this is one of the biggest reason that Hinduism appeals to me. That it is not based on faith, but is founded on logic and reason. It leaves me spellbound that the last line of a very famous hymn in the Rig Veda, popularly known…

• Hindu Right erroneously equated to Islamic Terror

  4 November 05 • 10 comments

  Martha Nussbaum’s fantastic tales are only getting more tiring – now she compares the RSS-BJP Hindu “Right” of India to Al Qaeda! This is the height of wrong analogies and misinformation – it has indeed turned into a slandering of the Sangh Parivar. I’m not involved with the Sangh, but I have no qualms in…

• US Academic flays Hindu Right

  4 November 05 • 0 comment

  Martha Nussbaum is a philosopher in the University of Chicago. She has written a series of articles on their Faculty blog against the Hindu Right and accusing the Sangh Parivar of extremism. She has compared the Sangh Parivar to Al Qaeda! I have written a series of rebuttals exposing the faults and prejudices in her…

• Pakistan schools teach hatred for Indians and Hindus

  3 October 05 • 38 comments

  It is incredible when you read what 10-year old school children in Pakistan learn. It seems that Pakistani schools exist foremost to plant and nurture hatred for Indians, and especially Hindus. It is blood-curdling that young children should display so much hatred as to give speeches against Hindus in particular. Excerpts from Pakistani textbooks: “Before…

• An Indian’s brief brush with the jealous God of America

  2 October 05 • 3 comments

  This is a hilarious article written by India’s Consul General at SFO about an event on a plane. “I am a Hindu. Do you know anything about it?” I asked, though it was clear that to even begin to explain the concepts and complexities of something so alien to her was an impossible task. “No….

• Mesmerizing symbolism of Hinduism in two legends

  24 September 05 • 7 comments

  I just couldn’t help posting this here. I read it and was so mesmerized by the extremely logical interpretation of the symbolism of the Shiva-Ganesha-Parvati story. You have to read it again and again to understand and admire the beauty of Sanatana Dharma! All praise to our scholarly ancestors who saw so much wisdom in…
