Nevada (US): Upset Hindus have asked for the immediate withdrawal of 'Kali Mints' sold by a Washington (USA) based firm, calling it inappropriate. Hindu statesman Rajan
Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that inappropriate usage of Hindu
deities or concepts for commercial or other agenda was not okay as it hurt the
devotees. Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, stressed that
Goddess Kali was highly revered in Hinduism and she was meant to be worshipped
in temples and not to be used in selling mints. Hinduism was the oldest and third
largest religion of the world with about one billion adherents and a rich philosophical
thought and it should not be taken lightly. Symbols of any faith, larger or smaller,
should not be mishandled, Rajan Zed argued. Meanwhile Bhavna Shinde of Forum for
Hindu Awakening has also termed such usage of Goddess Kali as "upsetting and denigrating".
She urged Accoutrements that after recalling Kali Mints; it should not to make
such products in the future also which trivialized the revered and sacred symbols
of faith. |
