Bollywood Navaratri spl - Page 3

Navratri is not for celebration, the garba and dance part which is associated with it, is.

Any celebration is attached to festivals so that youngsters can participate in the main puja without any drama, be it Diwali, Holi, Navratri. True essence of festivals is to thank God and connect with him/her spiritually.

One can not focus on spirituality if his/her mind is drawn towards sex

Also the tweet is highlighting the hypocrisy that no one preach to go vegan on Eid, or be pollution free on Christmas but will come with something derogatory or insulting or gyan on Hindu festivals.

Also comparison of Holi( dhulandi) with navratri doesn't make sense to me as Holi ( the puja part happens on the previous day and is the major part of festival as per customs not the playing part)

Again these are all my opinions and I have all the right to call upon hypocrisy of a public figure.

Thankyou....people don't know anything and then preach...

Maybe thousand years ago even naughty Holi would be offensive, now people act like naughty during Holi all the time and songs are made with all sorts of flirting during Holi celebration. That somehow was maybe either allowed in people's so called beliefs or over the course of time they have been made to believe that it is okay. In any case, if a certain group of people feel like they are offended by the flirting in the Holi songs and the sexualization of Holi, are we supposed to ask the makers to issue an apology because we cannot afford to offend their beliefs as they cannot stand anything sexual related to Holi? It is high time people realize their beliefs and festivals are personal. Nobody owes them anything for their beliefs neither do they owe others. Asking people to be naughty is not something outrageous even if your beliefs lead you to be.

Bottomline is that festivals are for celebration and celebratory sex is allowed and okay.

😆... back to the topic, a company that respectfully wishes Muslims a Happy Eid, disrespectfully wishes Hindus with sexual innuendos during Navratri, and you expect Hindus should not feel offended? Nevermind the double standards with how they treat different religions, dare them to crack sexual innuendos at Muslims during Ramadan/Eid, and see what happens.

"Navratri is not for celebration, the garba and dance part which is associated with it, is.

You are not going to decide whether it is for celebration or for Puja. Puja part is for theists. Even the theists themselves don't agree who to worship. They worship according to their beliefs. Any celebration that is attached to a festival is NOW a part of festival. If you don't think that is a part of that festival or that is the correct supposed festival because Puja is somehow the true essence, that is upto your belief. Even a simple quote from Wikipedia is enough to state how the ways differ:

Navratri is celebrated in different ways throughout India.[30] Some fast, others feast. Some revere the same Mother Goddess but different aspects of her, while others revere avatars of Vishnu, particularly of Rama.[13] The Chaitra Navaratri culminates in Rama Navami on the ninth day,[31] and the Sharada Navaratri culminates in Durga Puja and Dussehra.[13]

"True essence of festivals is to thank God and connect with him/her spiritually. One can not focus on spirituality if his/her mind is drawn towards sex"

I would need evidence for this otherwise it is just you trying to impose your (possibly pseudo-scientific) beliefs to make it into a code of conduct. Two points here: many people can control their thoughts pretty well regarding sex, and even if they cannot, many people don't care about spirituality/connecting to God. That doesn't mean the festival is not for them. Looks you missed the original point of my post about non-religious or non-Hindus.

"Also comparison of Holi( dhulandi) with navratri doesn't make sense to me as Holi ( the puja part happens on the previous day and is the major part of festival as per customs not the playing part)"

Well this is you trying to nitpick and I knew this was coming. So how much time difference is allowed. 1 day is enough, no flirting on Puja day and then being naughty next day is okay? What about 12 hrs? Is there something divine happening in 1 day that makes it okay on doing it next day. My house has Puja on both the days and yeah one of them is a bigger but still you see.

"Again these are all my opinions and I have all the right to call upon hypocrisy of a public figure."

Better be opinions and pretty dogmatic ones at that. You can call out the original post for the hypocrisy. I assume you will fine if there was no hypocrisy- i.e., they make the same post for all other festivals like Eid etc. I would be happy with that too. That is a positive news for me.

If people are pointing out the hypocrisy, they should state that I am fine with it as long as you do with it for other festivals. I am totally cool with it and I would welcome it. I am all for cracking innuendos on twitter feed for Muslims. If they get offended, it is their problem. 😆

Here, people are playing a oscillating game between offended due to hypocrisy and offended due to hurting their religious sentiments. They should decide which subset of it is the problem. I am cool with people objecting to the hypocrisy part. My problem is the not with the hypocrisy part but with the "my festival my rules" part.

Navratri is the pooja done for the 9 forms of Goddess Durga and no celebratory sex is allowed and OKAY🤢....take this from a very tolerant Hindu.....and do not preach if you don't know anything about our festivals.....going against religion...be it Hinduism , Islam, Christianity or any other religion for that matter is not cool.....learn to respect the faith and regard of people for their religious beliefs.

Navratri puja is not done for Goddess Durga in our home. Learn something about your festival and different ways people worship and observe it across India and outside India if you claim to be knowledgeable about it.

Sorry to inform you that I do not respect faith, have no reason to. Neither do I expect people to respect my faith in the unicorn that resides in my home and the festival I celebrate for it. Sooner you learn that, better it would be for your peace of mind instead of getting offended at every other post on the internet.

Just because you celebrate it in a different way doesn't mean that u can make offensive remarks about how others celebrate it.....I don't celebrate Eid or Christmas either.....does that mean I can utter offensive stuff about them......you can always make it about yourself and say that it is how you celebrate certain thing but don't make a blanket statement about it......if you had said that this is how its celebrated in your home...all I would have said is OKAY....

and no it takes a lot of effort to get me offended over religious stuff.....I don't get offended easily....the Tanishque ad didn't offend me...neither did the picturization of Shiva in PK....but then when that M EFF Hussain drew naked paintings of our Goddesses that offended me.....why do we have to mess with religion anyways....why does a M Eff Hussain has to draw paintings of Goddesses....just like why those nuts had to draw pics of Prophet Mohd when its not allowed in Islam.....You don't want others to respect your faith...fine....I still won't disrespect it...but that doesn't give u a license to spew shit on other people's faiths.

Happy Navrati

Agree with everything you said like it’s not hard to respect others religion and their faith ...
