Please see the photos I sent you below.
At the Madras restaurant at The Raintree Hotel @ Anna Salai, Chennai I was shocked to see the eating plates that are used !!!
Those plates are embossed with typical Iyengar Person face & coasters with typical Iyer person face?
Please see the attached photo !
Imagine people eating Food especially Chicken, Mutton Beaf & Pork in this plate?
The coasters are printed with typical Iyer’s face on it!!!!
They are keeping beer glasses on top of the coasters.
What is the justification to abuse Hindu’s identities on such medium ???
Will the same Raintree Hotels dare to put a Muslim identity on the plate and serve pork on it ?
Or will they put Jesus or Sardarji face on eating plates?
There is a limit to tolerance of the Hindus and this abuse is stretching the patience to our limits.
We should take up this with Hindu Associations to file a formal complaint. Also please share widely on Social media to create awareness to make the hotel stop this unprovoked abuse of Hindu symbols & identities.
************************
apart from pro hindu pro brahmin activists in tamil nadu [whose contact details if i know i can send to them} why not Shri Periyava of kanchi matam take up this kind of perennial abuse, hatred and antagonism towards Hindus/Brahmin community ? I think when He is incarnated to restore/nurthure Hinduism He should not keep quiet any more. As matam head He is powerful enough to call the other religion's heads and share His feelings and concerns. Pontiff though He may be aware of all this but should not prefer to keep quiet, in my view If our Head itself does not take this matter fwd and remain silent who else .? Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara

drsundaram Ji,

What was the mutt and pontiff doing when the Dravidian Outfit challenged conducting Avani Avittam of pigs wearing sacred thread….???

When Victor James Vairamuthy insulted Andaal Nachiyar revered by Hindus all over the world..?

When Kanimozhi, a self-acclaimed atheist, made uncharitable remarks on Lord Venkateswara…??

Such venomous attacks on Hindus and more particularly against Brahmins is becoming a matter of routine here.

We are facing a constant anti-hindu harangue and endless taunts ever day.

We all know that such insulting Hindu religious figureheads has no room in a civil society and is a clear infringement of constitution which guarantees for religious freedom.

Why depend on the Pontiffs….. and why drag the Mutts here….?

What happened to our Unity...???

Of course, it is perfectly legitimate to have disagreement and differences against Hinduism for some.

But one should not encourage to ignite hatred and anger against a particular religion.

There are members here who love to play pseudo secular card….!! Why do you provoke them..?

I agree with your statements up to this point.

The preceding sentence and the instead is ludicrous and shows your ignorance.

When any organization feels insulted they should take all action needed to make it right.
There are people who should be a role model for such groups.

The official website of Rajan Zed | Rajan Zed, the acclaimed Indo-American and Hindu statesman who has taken up Hindu, interfaith, religion, environment, Roma and other causes all over the world.

One should learn from them.

respectedd kudandhai srini and shri prasad i did not mean mutt alone is to bear the onus to blast insinuations against hindus/brahmins feelings and sentiments . Probably i have not worded explicitely. Only the hindus /brahmins united and concered actionson such triggers will be potential . but we lack vey sadly .we withdraw to plung to action . we voice only singly in these kind of forums. dont know what is inhibting to unite and raise a noise to teach ahrd lesson . btw tthe concerned restaurant has issued a rejoinder....."
"Sensing the mood of the public The Raintree Hotel expressed its sadness over the issue and said:
We at The Raintree are saddened over the reactions to our decorative show plates. We have never served food on these. We respect our guests. These showpieces have been removed from all of our restaurants. We remain committed to the best hospitality.
He said that Suresh, the General Manager of the hotel said to him that he used it only as a display item."

Unless your protest is strong it will not work. The best way is sheer boycott of those and their organization and their products and services, if necessary even essential products and services. Also those media, papers etc which promote them can be avoided. This will be more effective.

 

[Naina_Marbus]

While the abusive aspects are definitely present, mainly in the urban chennai environment, there also appears to be other segments of the Tamil society that are appreciative of brahminical contributions. People like Jeyamohan comes to mind. See the video below. But to a large extent I believe that the abusive segment tends to be backed by the people like Vairamuthu with initials concealing what their motivations are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?=s3tyCtVuISs

[renuka]

And I was always thought that caricatures made the followers of only a particular religion angry!LOL

I guess humans do not differ as much as we think they do.

Daily we can see agarbati boxes with images of Devas and Devis thrown about on the ground.
Wedding cards with mantras and images of Devas thrown in the garbage bin yet that didn't matter but just a display item bearing the caricature of a human is a matter for immediate attention.

Do we love ourselves more or do we love God?

I think the answer is obvious.

I think the answer is obvious.

The problem is that it is a "public" display item intentionally intended to provoke such sentiments that you guys are reflecting above. Hinduism touches on topics that other religions consider repulsive such as "God is in the Wall as well as in Rust" which is a reflection of highly thought out philosophical concepts almost close to reality that many Upanishads and other doctrines proclaim. No other religion considers this aspect. If God is only pure why are there impurities? Why are Extremely perfect beings hard to find? Good , bad. Papa, Punya etc. While there are make shift theories and less than convincing explanations in other religions Hinduism does take a hard look at impurities and imperfections in the world and the Rishis realized that they are also Part of Brahman. There is of course a "Pure" and unblemished part - The Nirguna ParaBrahman - and then of course, the Saguna(Moola Prakriti) aspect of Brahman. The Saguna "follows" (Charya) Nirguna's direction sort of implementing its will. While doing so Impurities accumulate and hence you see the "opposites". All such errors committed are ALSO offerings to the Nirguna Parabrahman - "Kayanu vacha Manase indriyat... Prikritaet Svabhawath Karo metyat Sagalam Parasmi Narayanayeti Samarpayami" is a common error correction mantra uttered in almost all rituals. We are part of Prakriti - in Karma chakra - and hence Errors does accumulate. We will throw Agarbati boxes with images of Devas - probably to make way for newer ones. Mantras are in garbage bins. Why do you think Narayana is NOT in a Garbage bin? Then isn't it an offering? Everything has it's purpose including Pig's feces. The whole idea is to realize that and move out of the Karma chakra so you See Her( Prakriti) for who She is really. Someone has to cleanup the garbage, There is no disgrace in that. Look and Learn from that Moola Prakriti hauling all our Garbage - Dead and Alive- and still beats on doing her job- Not a shard of expectation. The truly realized ones move on and stay out of Petty inflammatory actions to kindle animosity. If Karma chakra runs correctly then Moola prakriti will also recycle her Garbage and Saturn will take note. Take that as a test to see who you really are. As in Rig veda "Winning your own Natural Self is Shaurya - true bravery". That said, there are forces at work to intentionally discredit and provoke public sentiments against Hinduism. These forces know that Hinduism is closer to Truth than any other religion. Oops, their livelihood is at stake now! So they react. First, understand that and apply our smartness and see where such actions and entities fit in! But then, we also have every right to protest and appeal if necessary. That is our constitutional right. You do help Moola Prakriti that way to clean up Garbage in actions and entities at our level !

Agree, except the last part from "forces at work to intentionally discredit and provoke public sentiments etc".

By imputing motives, we are falling into the hands of the extreme right wing hate ideology and parties that want to portray minorities as bad, evil, etc.

Only, If majority of us Hindus refuse to tail this extreme right wing ideology even under "the above provocation", we can defeat the hate forces on all sides !

Calling a cat as a cat does not mean we are right -wing oriented. You would certainly agree with me that you see more of these events targeting Hinduism AND in the rise of the Hindu right wing targeting other minorities than when it was 20 years ago. Why should Right wing oriented parties seize power at all if every one was happy with Secular harmony status of the Country? There was money pouring in from outside countries for Conversion starting late 2000s and I know from direct ground reality that people who haven’t even seen Rs. 100 in a year were provided 5 lakh and a boat load of meat for conversion. Obviously, gullible poor people fell prey to such tricks and lo and behold in the age of 3G communication and mobile phones, news spread and right wing found lots of juicy opportunities to promote their ideologies and secure power. India is a very Sentimental country to this day. Those who control mass sentiments wins is the name of the game. People go to schools but are not educated. They read but don’t learn. Mass hysteria is still possible. I’d say like the Cold War era US. BTW, it’s 10 lakhs in black market for Brahmin conversions . Ok, getting back to specific provocative actions on Brahmins, we are docile by nature and usually we accept things and move on. We have always done that. However, there comes a point when a response is warranted. Now, how do we handle these unwarranted attacks while keeping our cool and not falling prey to Right-wing traps? You need to respond by peaceful protests and Court appeals and which I think we are doing! Krishna did not have to take up Shastra to win Mahabharata war. If Pen and a brisk March are good enough weapons then so be it! Like any game or a war there will be reality manipulators and then there will be counter-manipulators. You have to decide on your role as a manipulatable pawn or counter manipulating strategist! The only difference is neither do you know the players nor can you predict the next move. So, given a move you cannot fall trap with an emotional reaction but craft a careful response( BTW, that’s from Sundar Pichai) . By vocally raising this topic right here and coming under the radar of the Media we have responded well and the outcome proves it! If you practice Disconnectedness as preached by the Rishis and play the game as a non-emotional non-reactive player then I think we could achieve better outcome. My two cents!

First off, many of these accounts are right wing propaganda. Not saying your direct account of conversion is not true. But among these true accounts, many false account are spread by right wing to propagate hate so they can win electorally.

Second, how is it in anyway morally right to support directly or indirectly, the lynchings of the innocents on the road, and claim moral justification ? How is this innocent man working for a living anything to do with these hate groups on either side ?

so while, my so called enemies are bad (lets accept all these accounts), how is it morally justified for us to lynch "innocents on the road not connected to all this" ?

Krishna only says, fight those who are Adharmic not innocents !!

All right. I haven’t been following these myriad of events. It is absolutely NOT right for innocents to be lynched. How many Tamil Iyengars and Iyers were involved in that? If they are then is that what their Brahminical upbringing taught them? If there are none, then there is manipulation going on. Why would you then print and desecrate brahminical symbols when Brahmins had absolutely nothing to do with any violence? Particularly, not knowing what they really meant! The game is expanded to include and foster Brahmin hate. What should be the response ? Peaceful protests and court case. Which is exactly what has happened so far. While Krishna said to fight Adharma he did not guarantee innocents will not be killed. There were Stalwarts and Epitomes of Dharma on the Kauravas side. They were not innocent. On the other hand there were Innocent Pandava putras who were not wise enough to discern Dharma from Adharma murdered by Adharmic Ashwattama, son of a Brahmin Guru Dhrona,who broke all rules of war. Let’s extrapolate a bit, One of the Upanishads talks about A Cat watching souls as fishes trapped in a Glass Aquarium, waiting for an opportunity to snatch all away. All souls look the same to him. So who or what tells him which soul to pick and choose? Is he educated enough to discern the complexities of fish Dharma and Adharma? Interesting isn’t it... we are inside the aquarium looking at souls lost. Which fish is going to teach the Cat, Fish Dharma and Fish Adharma? BTW, cats have their own Dharmic rules for fishing is all I could say .
That said, Siva sutras talk about how ‘light’ beings -the devas ignore and not concern themselves with beings who externally display symbols. Realized ones move beyond symbolism is their belief!

from what I can make out from this avalanche of words is "there is always someone to clean up the garbage of whatever is thrown into the bin"

So likewise...don't identify with a caricature and let that too go for recycling.

 

[kudandhai Srini]

There is no dearth for members here coming to drop pearls of wisdom.

Who is throwing garbage and who is cleaning the bin lies in the eye of the beholder.IMO

Recycling turns things into other things...other things...if we throw something away, it has to go somewhere...and there is an option here to ignore postings.

from what I can make out from this avalanche of words is "there is always someone to clean up the garbage of whatever is thrown into the bin"

So likewise...don't identify with a caricature and let that too go for recycling.

But then there is a price to pay to haul Garbage!

“It's only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away”

May be a Cat song..? ?

I was not able to attach a video that showed symbolism ( like Namam, Vibuthi) abstraction for Conversion needs. It shows how low the Missionaries can get and the lies they an cook up to forward their agenda. Strangely, they quote Upanishads and Brahma Sutras!

There is no dearth for members here coming to drop pearls of wisdom.

Who is throwing garbage and who is cleaning the bin lies in the eye of the beholder.IMO

Recycling turns things into other things...other things...if we throw something away, it has to go somewhere...and there is an option here to ignore postings.

true...just like some members who recycle their avatars but their posts reveal that they are the same old person recycled over and over again just like Vadivelu having multiple disguises but fails to cover the top bun on his head!
