Christian Subversion And Missionary Activities - 6

[Guest]

Pottu/Bindi is deeply religious. As a Hindu you (ought to) know that, knowing what it means. And knowing it, your only reactions should be (a) anger at the christian theft and their misuse/profaning of something so sacred and hence (b ) resolve to prevent them.

Sorry I disagree on this business of "ought to know". I wear those things because it is a tradition in my family. I use vibuthi because my parents and elders told me it protects me. Kungumam goes with it. I wear "gopi chandanam" because my both grand fathers use it. It is as simple as that. To me it brings a degree of satisfaction and protection. End of story for me. For my wife, it is similar too. We do not wear it all the time either. And for some women it is fashion.



Tradition in India, in many families, is handed over to the next generation without much fuss or information. While one can bemoan the loss of information, it is another thing to froth.



If you don't like what I am writing, tough luck. Now you are free to remove me from Hinduism. And I am free to have my opinion of these activities being "Indianisation" or "Hinduisation"



This is nothing new, J.A. Dubois and co tried this centuries ago.
