Hindusim believes in both ' Saakar' (that which has a form) and also 'Nirakaar' (that which doesn't have a form). when we are worshiping a stone statue we are not worshing stone but the almighty God in the form of stone statue (Sakaar worship). If someone doesn't understand it or believe it, its fine ,... but that doesn't give that person the right to make twisted or distorted statements against the religious practices of a community.

religious practices and beliefs are different from astrological practices and beliefs... one cannot put them on the same scale.

I don't agree with this at all but if any respectful disagreement is taken as "twisted or distorted statements against the religious practices of a community", then there is no point in going further and offending you more.

You think god is present in that stone or is omnipresent, good for you! But that's the point. Educated people or not, people of every kind worship stones (god for you, but stone for some others). So why is educated people practising superstition so shocking? It's more or less the same.

And this isn't about Hinduism. It is not the only religion to worship in this way.


I don't know if u are still not getting my point or u are consciously ignoring it 😕

@bold- I cannot speak for other religions but in Hinduism people are NOT worshiping STONES but the God who resides even in that stone. Is the difference too subtle to understand? 😕

It may be stone for some others but that's just because of their ignorance about the Hindu philosophy...and comparing religious practices with other social or astrological practices is not acceptable IMO because one is about religious beliefs (true or false but still unproven) and the other i.e. superstition is about beliefs that have already been scientifically proven wrong... u cannot compare the two on the same scale.

even if it involved other religions my reply would have been the same... religious practices and beliefs should not be dragged in arguments about Superstitions or other beliefs.

u find it respectful, but I (and I'm sure a few others also) didn't.

U quoted me and started the discussion with me, I didn't... so now if u want to quit the discussion, again I wont persuade u to stay.

Ash-Abhishek puja has Varanasi agog

What were Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai up to in Varanasi?

The Dhoom: 2 pair performed a series of pujas at the holy city's famous Kashi Vishwanath temple and the Sankat Mochan temple during the early hours of Monday, November 27.

Abhishek and Aishwarya virtually kept the otherwise serene temple city buzzing even at the dead of the night when they went from one temple to another to perform different sets of prayers.

Heavy police deployment and a tight security ring prevented any intruders, particularly the media. However, an insider who witnessed the entire rituals at the heavily guarded Kashi Vishwanath Temple said, "The rituals began around 3 am and continued until 4:30 am."

"First, the entire family performed the mangala aarti, that was followed by the rudrabhishek puja, which is usually carried out by married couples only," he said, on condition of anonymity.

Family priest Chandramouli Upadhyaya, the first to call on the Bachchan family at the Taj Ganges hotel shortly after their arrival late Sunday night, told mediapersons, "The family was here to perform certain prayers on the [99th] birth anniversary of Amitabh's father, famous poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan."

However, when reporters asked what Aishwarya had to do with such a closed family affair, he claimed ignorance.

Bollywood's first family arrived in Varanasi by a chartered flight around at 10:20 pm on Sunday night. They were huddled into awaiting vehicles and driven into the Taj from the rear gate, to avoid inquisitive mediapersons and cameramen.

Shortly thereafter, they were visited by Upadhyaya. At around 2:30 am, senior district officials escorted the family to the Kashi Vishwanath temple, where Pandit Sitaram Shastri first carried out the exclusive mangala aarti for them, to be followed by the rudrabhishek puja.

Besides Amitabh Bachchan, his wife Jaya, daughter Shweta and brother Ajitabh were among the key persons to participate in the rituals. Samajwadi Party General Secretary Amar Singh arrived with the entourage and stood alongside the family at each ceremony.

At around 4:30 am, they left for the Sankat Mochan temple where they attended the nearly hour-long morning aarti.

All along, they remained surrounded by an extremely tight security ring of not only the local police but also the Sahara India group, who appeared to be virtually hosting the entire visit.

Finally they returned to their hotel around 6 am. While Abhishek and Aishwarya were scheduled to leave for Agra, Amitabh, Jaya and others were flying back to Mumbai at 1 pm, a local official said.

every religion has a certain belief and certain superstitions
we are in no position to compare them and say if one is okay..why not the other

this is best known to the person who practises that religion and one should not ask or question on such things which is very personal and sensitive to the person practising that religion

i guess Nathu Pyare has already made it very clear what significance it holds to him/her and others practising the same..so why are there still questions regarding such a sensitive thing is beyond my comprehension

It's temperamental. Mangliks are more aggressive, assertive, energetic, outlandish, sexual, and dominant than non-mangliks. Almost 70% of people are full or partial mangliks. That's where the whole stigma comes from.The energy of a manglik is overwhelming for a non-manglik, which is why marriage between a manglik and non-manglik is a debatable event in Hindu culture.


Mars is a very strong planet with high energy and this energy quantifies in magnitude if its position is in the 6th, 7th8th and 12th house (i hope i am not wrong about the houses). If a person has mars in thess four houses then he/she is a ghor manglik and are generally short tempered, aggressive, get bored easily and are always high on energy and if such a person is born under a fire sign then they are no less than a atomic bomb ;P So not everyone can match upto their levels of energy. Hence another manglik of the sane or higher degrees is required to nullify or dampen the effects.

A practice as long as not harming anyone doesn't get questioned. Manglik dosh as people call it is not one of them. Several people have committed suicide because one fine day an astrologer declared them unsuitable for a partner and their life got filled with taunts, rejection and humiliation.As if they made a grave sin by being born. If this is how society is going to treat u for being manglik might as well lets stop the practice.
Astology is a very difficult subject. Not even .01 % of the people can get it right.Its is the same everywhere and nothing to do with ur dharam.Its only here that people are declared evil and manhoos as per some random roadside babas prediction.That is the problem . Please stop relying on ur roadside baba to decide the fate and logevity of ur life. You are only ruining ur present and nothing else.

I find most astrologers are not good at predicting the future, but predict your past accurately and impress us :)
