Besides being a child-molester, `holy' Rama was also guilty of incest, For Sita is referred to in the oldest surviving Ramayanas as his own sister.

In the Dasarathajataka Sita is represented as the sister as well as the wife of Rama, Son of Dasaratha of the Ikshvaku line. " [ Chandra, P. 156 ]


So we see that hari and his mom were only practising a religious hindu ritual, Not knocking boots. What a disgusting religion.

This is confirmed by anthropological research showing that incest was institutionalised in Rama's race, The Ikshvaku dynasty of Aryan Kshatriyas.

The term Devadasi originally described a Hindu religious practice in which girls were "married" to a deity.
This practice has been corrupted over the ages. The initiation process and so called coming-of-age rites for girls are used by the temple priests to have sex with 12-13 year old girls. All this is done willingly, Under the cover of "religion".The basic fact is if you want to go and dedicate your life to God then it is your choice. The key word here is choice. Can a 9 - 12 year old girl choose this? Or is it just something that she is forced to do?

Krishna's Incest with His Sister
Deepti Naidu
Krishna is worshipped as the supreme god by many followers of the Aryan Vaishnava religion. This eminent personality had 16, 000 wives and many affairs with the cow-herdesses (gopis), Who were the wives of other men. The worst aspect of this supposed `god', However, Is that `Lord' Krishna lived in incest with his sister Subhadra! Not only that, He shared her with his brother Balarama [ Mah. Wh. 153 ]. So one big family of incest! The Mahabharat clearly mentions this in its oldest extant versions.

Thus, "In the festivals of that God [ Jagannath ], The 3 images of Krishna, His brother Balarama, And his sister Subhadra, Are brought prominently forward; and the populace do not fail to heap reproaches upon Krishna, And upon his sister likewise, For having indulged in a criminal intimacy. " -- [ Mah. Wh 153 ]

Despite the fact that the bigoted Vaishnavas have tried to erase this stain from the later versions of the Mahabharata, The older versions clearly state the facts and expose Krishna's dirty linen for all to see.

Krishna's Incest with His Sister
by Deepti Naidu
Krishna is worshipped as the supreme god by many followers of the Aryan
Vaishnava religion. This eminent personality had
16,000 wives and many affairs with the cow-herdesses (gopis), who were the
wives of other men. The worst aspect of this
supposed `god', however, is that `Lord' Krishna lived in incest with his
sister Subhadra ! Not only that, he shared her with his
brother Balarama [ Mah.wh.153 ]. So one big family of incest ! The
Mahabharat clearly mentions this in its oldest extant
versions. Thus,
"In the festivals of that God [ Jagannath ], the 3 images of Krishna,
his brother Balarama, and his sister Subhadra,
are brought prominently forward; and the populace do not fail to heap
reproaches upon Krishna, and upon his
sister likewise, for having indulged in a criminal intimacy."
-- [ Mah.wh 153 ]
Despite the fact that the bigoted Vaishnavas have tried to erase this
stain from the later versions of the Mahabharata, the
older versions clearly state the facts and expose Krishna's dirty linen
for all to see.
" In the older tradition, Subhadra is said to have lived in criminal
intimacy with both her brothers. This tradition is
universally known and believed by the people in spite of the story of
the marriage of Subhadra [ to Arjun ]; and the
Mussalmans frequently taunt the Hindus with the fact. The Pundits
reconcile the stories by a fiction of there having
been two Subhadras. As to Krishna's proceedings, they are expalined
away as Maya, or delusion."
-- [ Mah.wh.153 ]
Remember, it is Krishna the Killer who was the cause of the Mahabharata
War. It is also Krishna who advised his warriors to
use cowardly and shady tricks like striking below the belt and attacking
opponents from behind during the Mahabharata War
! As a `divine punishment' for his cruelties and mass rape of 16,000
Indigenous Sudra women, he was killed by an archer,
his city (or village - how could barbaric Aryan Krishna even think of
living in a city ?) of Dwaraka was flooded, and his wives
all forced into prostitution. A just punishment indeed for Killer Krishna
!
The Brahmans always profess to be very strict in morality, so how does one
explain the discreapancy between their
supposed brahmacharya and their debauched gods ? The answer is that the
Aryans were highly primitive barbarians. They
introduced such uncouth practices as human sacrifice (`purushamedha'
sanctioned by the Vedas), horse sacrifice
(`ashwamedha'), widow-burning (`sati') and incest into India. The morality
of the ancient Aryans was very strict, being
another aspect of their lack of regard for human life. Thus, Manu
prescribes death for even talking to a married woman. This
was not limited to the Indo-Aryans, the German Aryan warrior would
instantly slay his erring wife and her paramour at the
slightest suspicion. As a result of such a strict and unnatural moral
code, which was even more severe than the Christian
one, a number of perversions arose, such as incest and beastiality. Incest
was very common in Vedic and Brahmanic society
as a method of releasing the suppressed urges, Indeed, the Vedas sanction
incest and allow it as a perfectly legitimate way
of gratification -
Brahma performed incest with his dauther [ Rig Veda III.31.1-2 ]. The
Vedas justify incest, and this fact was used by
Brahma to convince his daughter. When this was discovered, Prajapati
(Brahma) was pierced by Agni as a punishment
[ Sat.Br. XIII.9 ] [ Apte 63 ]. Brahma also, out of frustration,
copulated with a bear. This shows that the laws of morality
were very strict, and hence led to perversions in Hinduism.
In the Vedas the hero Pushan is the lover of his sister [ Rg Ved
VI.55.4 ] [ Apte 11 ]
The Vedic god Agni himself, who pierced Brahma for his incest with his
daughter, is also the lover of his own sister [ Rg
Ved X.3.3 ] [ Apte 11 ]. This shows that the strict moral code was
meant merely as a facade for the public. Like some
Victorians in private, the Vedic Aryans engaged in serious
perversions.
The Vedic Ashvins are referred to as the sons of Savitar and Ushas who
are brother and sister [ Apte 11 ].
The Ashvisns married Surya and Savitri who is their sister [ RgV
I.116.19 ].
The Vedic fire-god Agni is the son of his father and his sister [ Rg
Ved.I.91.7 ]
The Vedic god of the underworld Yama wards off his sister Yami, saying
marriage between brother and sister is
forbidden [ Rg.V.X.10 ] [ Apte 11 ]
The Kinsey survey of the USA revealed that beastiality and incest were
common in regions where persons did not have the
opportunity for healthy interaction with the opposite gender, and hence
had to relieve their pent-up urges in perverted
fashions. This was also the case for the Vedic Aryans and Victorian
England. Surveys show that incest is still widespread
amongst Aryan Vaishnavas today, as a result of the fanatic Vaishnava
repression of such desires (a la Gandhi).
In addition, the child marriage of brother and sister, and in fact between
any close relations, was encoouraged by the
Brahmans in order to destroy the genetic stock of non-Brahman races, since
children born of such consanginous unions are
likely to display genetic degradation. In this manner the Brahmin Aryans
are away at the genetic heritage of the
non-Brahmins. The ghastly custom was enforced in South India (where all
the non-Brahmins are Dravidian) as well as in
North India (where only the Dalits and Adivasis are Dravidoid) on Aryan
and Dravidians alike.

Greeks were ruled by Muslims for abt 400 years

Spain (incl Portugal, southern france) ruled by Muslims for 800 years

CECA virus ruled by Muslims for 1000 years as saffron terrorist in chief gladly admitted

I wonder why Muslims were so naively tolerant of polytheist animalistic barbaric traditions

If I were there in those days, I would have eliminated polytheism for good from those accursed lands

KRISHANA IS THE GOD OF LGBTQ
HAVE YOUI HEARD ABOUT ISKCON = "HARE KRISHNA MOVEMENT" IS TO SPREAD HOMOSEX TO USA

SAINTS OR SWINDLERS? ISKCON’S LATEST RECRUITMENT TACTICS (EXPOSED)

❖ INDIANS MIGRATED ALL OVER WORLD TO PROMOTE GAY SEX AND HOMOSEX AND LESBIAN

CHEAPSEX FOR FREE AMONG SEX MONGERS


Why is the Hare Krishna (ISKCON) sect so hell-bent on convincing the Indian public that they are genuine Hindus while spending millions convincing non-Hindus that they are simply “peace and love” yoga enthusiasts?

COULD IT BE THAT THE CULT IS BACK TO ITS OLD TRICKS?

ISKCON spares no expense in catering to wealthy Hindus as it strives to build its reputation as a genuine branch of mainstream Hinduism. All of these efforts have one thing in common: they are nothing more than self-serving propaganda. Money, as usual, talks. If the cult builds another massive temple and continues its well-publicized food relief programs in India, it expects the Hindu public to follow its lead like a pack of blinkered horses.

However, its sordid past—including child abuse, scams to defraud the public, and its founder’s sexist and racist statements—has proved difficult to hide.

ISKCON-NEWBURGH-NY-COLORFEST-HOLI.JPEG


In a desperate attempt to replenish its dwindling numbers among non-Hindus in western countries, ISKCON has revamped its old policy of withholding information about its real beliefs and practices. Now the cult uses social media sites to ensnare new members by positioning itself as another of the meditation and yoga groups offering therapeutic emotional and health benefits. This watered-down appropriation of Hindu religious practices reduces an ancient faith to another “feel-good” experience much like meditation and hatha yoga have been served up to non-Hindus everywhere.

MEETUP. COM AND ISKCON’S “BHAKTI YOGA” SCAM:

Recently I discovered the latest recruitment efforts by the Hare Krishna cult in the offerings of Meetup.com, a website that hosts software by a multitude of personal and professional groups and caters to adults seeking new friends with common interests. Nothing about the tactics ISKCON uses to attract new members surprises me, but the sheer nonsense in the groups I found was both sad and laughable. History does indeed repeat itself, as anyone familiar with the hippie movement of the 1960’s and 1970’s can see in the descriptions listed below:

Enchant Mantra Meditation/Vancover
Sacred Sounds Outside OM/Las Vegas “Tribe Kin”
Living Well, Being Well/El Paso, TX
Vedic Astrology, Karma, Dharma/North York, ON

In each case (and there are many more of these ISKCON sponsored groups all over North America and Europe), it’s clear that participants generally have no idea that the meetings they attend are organized by the Hare Krishna cult, nor do they know anything about its beliefs and history. Rather, as anyone who looks at the photographs included in each meeting can see, ISKCON has cleverly disguised itself as one of the multitude of yoga and meditation practitioners familiar to the general public.[iii]

Back in the 1960’s when ISKCON first attracted hippies to its outdoor kirtans and Sunday Feasts, the main lure used to reel in unsuspecting recruits was a mixture of mantra chanting and free vegetarian food, all of which supposedly granted the practitioner easy and instant access to the Godhead.[iv]

Today, these pleasure-seekers appear to have travelled in a time machine to the present, mixing with a new generation of gullible souls eager to delve in whatever variety of Eastern mysticism offers outsize benefits in proportion to the effort involved.

Now it’s fashionable among youth and their college professors to stridently endorse ecological concerns, along with the usual calls for ending discrimination based on sex, race, and gender. They are the tree-huggers of my generation on steroids. Science, in their twisted worldview, takes a back seat to misplaced sentimentality.

ISKCON REDUCES ADULTS TO FAIRY-TALE SEEKING CHILDREN:

Cults have long since seized the opportunity to worm their way into this void, replacing scientific, objective inquiry with so-called authoritative statements, all ultimately non-refutable because of their ancient “Vedic” sources. So you have “Vedic Astrology” instead of the science of astronomy and the fuzzy, warm-sounding “Living well, Being Well.” Abusing the lonely souls who join Meetingup. com groups with a lot of half-baked pseudo-Hindu mysticism is a familiar practice of the Hare Krishna cultists.

For example, this past summer, ISKCON entered a local festival in the New York City Metro Area City of Newburgh, entitled “Colorfest,’ which in actuality mimics the Hindu festival of Holi, this past spring celebrated by Hindus (and Sikhs also) world-wide on March 2nd. Its association with the Krishna legend is well-known, of course, and some describe it as “the Festival of Colors.” However, ISKCON takes it entirely out of context, as you can see for yourself with the psycho-babble title and activities of its program months after the official Holi celebration:

http:// www. newburghilluminatedfestival. com/colorfest. “A Playful Festival to Strengthen Friends and Families with Happiness.” (Please note: this site has subsequently been shutdown.)

Pure, unadulterated bullshit! “Strengthen Friends and Families with Happiness”? What a nonsensical, illogical statement! If you or anyone you know has actual experience with the Hare Krishna devotees, you know that its mission is quite the opposite: while its members appear so welcoming at first, before long they urge you to give your time and money to them, with no consideration of how your actions affect your family and friends.

Worse, even the “colorfest” title is an effort to hide its true identity within the many groups in the U.S. sponsored by colorfest.org., an arts & crafts organization with no ties to ISKCON. In actuality, the website cult uses to advertise their color-chalk throwing events is www.festivalofcolorusa.com, which bills itself as the “World’s Happiest Transformational Event.” These cheap diversionary tactics distort Hinduism in an attempt to lure in throngs of pleasure-seeking suckers.

HARE KRISHNA BRAINWASHING ALL OVER AGAIN. . .

This pattern of initially “love bombing” new recruits and then training them (by hours of chanting the same mantra on prayer beads and singing it with others during morning and evening services) to disassociate themselves from the “material world” or “karmi life” is ISKCON’s variant of a practice followed by many cults worldwide.[v]

In addition, let’s be absolutely frank: how can tossing colored chalk at another person do anything other than reduce an adult to the level of a toddler who plays in sand at a neighborhood playground and tosses some of it at his or her playmates? Without the cultural and religious significance Holi has to Hindus, the tossing of colored chalk at a neighborhood festival or any other venue is an insulting, irrational act of cultural appropriation. However, if you think that ISKCON cannot degrade Hinduism any further, you are sadly mistaken. . .

ISKCON has worked overtime in the Europe and India positioning itself as Hindu adherents of the Gaudiya Vaishnava sect. It founded the Hindu umbrella organizations of Hindu Forum Britain (http:// www. hfb. org. uk) and Hindu Forum Europe (http:// hinduforum. eu) to convince the academic and business communities of its authenticity as well as to advance its Radha Krishna worship and philosophy.

GALVA MOVEMENT

A Young Gay Krishna Devotee Is Fighting To Prove That Hinduism promotes Homosex and condemns Homophobia

Love – an unparalleled emotion, an intense passion, it’s a high that you forgive yourself for. It’s an emotion that transcends higher than mere physicality, beyond the realms of race, colour, nationality and yes, gender – though some people are ignorant enough to believe otherwise.

Religion – it’s faith. It’s something that leads mortals to believe that there is something higher than them, some force that guards as well as condemns them. In a twisted way, it unites people but also drives them apart.

These are two diverse concepts – but often, religion is used to separate people who are deemed to be in an ‘unnatural relationship’. In this piece, the positive connection between these concepts is portrayed by a man who truly believes in it and also works hard to help other people become aware of the same.

Ankit Bhuptani, founder of the Gay And Lesbian Vaishnava Association (GALVA) in India, a devotee of Krishna, has read various scriptures and texts that have convinced him that Hinduism has no qualms against homosexuality. An interesting observation that he made was that amongst the ten important rituals of Hinduism, only two of them hold gender as a barrier. The association was founded by ISKCON follower William in America 30 years ago – but it was Bhuptani who founded it in India.

According to GALVA, Hinduism is liberal, open-minded and has no place for homophobia. Bhuptani firmly believes that only when other religions started coming to India, did Hinduism get influenced and became against the LGBTQ community. After all, in Hinduism, there is a book on how sexuality and desire are connected to yoga and spirituality for purposes of upliftment. Vatsayayan’s “Kamasutra” is not treated as a vulgar book for the simple reason that kama or desire is seen as a ‘level of life’.

The organisation has discussions and intellectual debates on scriptures, spirituality and sexuality that occur once every month at a member’s house, where about 20 people turn up. Workshops are also conducted, and picnics are organised once in a while where prasads are distributed. GALVA’s other activities include organising same sex marriages (they’ve organised about four until now), parades and pride marches in India once a year, tentatively in January, in association with Queer Azaadi Mumbai. The pride march usually takes place a week post Republic Day to signify that even though India gained freedom and democracy years back, certain factions of the society are still struggling for the freedom to be themselves. Their main goal is to make sexuality a normal, day-to-day subject. Bhuptani’s glad that since GALVA began, a gay Catholic group has also been set up.

Bhuptani, who himself is a part of the LGBTQ community, says that he’s open about being gay. He tells us about the time when he had to fight with his own thoughts of being gay. “When I was 17, I found out that I was gay for the very first time,” says Bhuptani. Initially, it was difficult for him to discover his sexuality and he was so frustrated that he was on the verge of killing himself.

“As for my parents, they act as if they are ignorant about it – but they do support me, partially. They know that I give many interviews and speeches in many places. I think they are proud of me – but I can’t really say whether they support me completely,” says Bhuptani who also has a YouTube channel on which he discusses matters related to spirituality. He also works as a resource mobilisation and communication manager at VIDYA, an NGO which seeks to provide education to children living in Mumbai’s slums.

The GALVA movement has played a vital role in his personal life as well. It has boosted his confidence and he feels proud that this movement has helped many people fight with their sexuality crises. The movement has given people an optimistic and positive perspective about religion and the LGBTQ community.

Bhuptani says, “People message me once or twice in a day, thanking me for what I did and I feel happy about helping them. But I’m not really satisfied as such. Till the day the Supreme Court demolishes Section 377, I’ll fight for equal marriage rights – and when that’s done, I’ll feel fully satisfied. Only then will I feel like I’ve achieved something. I know I can accomplish that goal. But as someone rightly said, ‘Be patient, good things take time’ – and so, I will go according to this message, while also trying to achieve my goals.”

Since the past few years, people have changed their perspective about the LGBTQ community. People have become more open about it and have also provided moral support to the community. The media also seems to be playing a key role in influencing the people in a positive manner. It gave an impetus to the judiciary, by focusing on topics like Section 377. Due to these signs, Bhuptani hopes that the Supreme Court will decriminalise homosexuality. “Our expectations for a positive judgement are really high. And if there’s no positive judgement, we’ll have to start from the scratch. But there’s no looking back,” he states.

On being asked about Bollywood’s portrayal of the LGBTQ community, he says that the industry has to be a little sensitive and understanding when it comes to portraying the LGBTQ community. “We are portrayed in a comic way, in which LGBTQ people are mocked for being who they are. This upsets me. Bollywood follows stereotypes which are bad. For instance, gay people are the ones who act girly and like being around girls, which is wrong. It’s not even funny. I’ve hardly seen any movies where LGBTQ people are portrayed in a positive light. In that respect, ‘Kapoor and Sons’ was one of the best Bollywood movies I’ve ever seen. This is, by far, the only movie that has broken the stereotypes about gay people. I really liked the movie,” says Bhuptani.

“As for the web series on YouTube, they are doing a brilliant job,” says Bhuptani. “Their creativity and message is so hard-hitting that it change the perspective of a variety of people. This can, in a way, even influence the decisions or policies of the government. ‘All about section 377’ is comic but also sentimental, because the protagonist and the director of the show have depicted it in a wonderful manner. I’m hoping to see similar web series on YouTube,” he says.

On being asked about the recent surrogacy ban, Bhuptani replies in a single word, “Ridiculous”. “We live in a country like India that’s democratic – but still the Government does not fail to put a ban on every possible thing. How contradictory can this be? This ban is unfair, especially for the people who are a part of LGBTQ community,” he quips.

HARE KRISHNA, MOVEMENT

Hare Krishna
views of homosexuality, and especially the view of the International Society for Krishna

Consciousness (ISKCON) towards LGBT issues, are similar to their views of heterosexual relationships, i.e. because the living entity is identifying with the body, any attraction based on the desire to gratify the body and its senses is symptomatic of illusion and can be purified by progressively elevating the consciousness. Put simply, both hetero- and homosexual attraction is due to an illusory attachment to the temporary body.[1] Same-sex relations and gender variance have been represented within Hinduism from Vedic times through to the present day, in rituals, law books, ancient historical narratives, commentaries, paintings, and sculpture. The extent to which these representations embrace or reject homosexuality has been disputed within the religion as well as outside of it. The main idea is to get into a comfortable enough position in one's material circumstances to free more time and effort for the spiritual practices, i.e. if it decreases your anxiety (long term) - do it.[2] <— asking u to try it

The Hare Krishna movement, as a distinct Hindu sect, and especially ISKCON, generally view all sex and sexuality (except procreational sex within the context of marriage) as being "illicit" with another partner.[3] The focus of one's life is supposed to be geared towards spirituality and not sexuality. Nevertheless, there have been a number of LGBT people involved in the Hare Krishna movement over the years.

The founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada taught that illicit sexual inclinations were "abominable" and inherently unspiritual, writing in a May 16, 1975 letter responding to a disciple, "I am very sorry that you have taken to homosex. It will not help you advance in your attempt for spiritual life. In fact, it will only hamper your advancement. I do not know why you have taken to such abominable activities. ... Even though you are in a very degraded condition Krishna, being pleased with your service attitude, can pick you up from your fallen state. You should stop this homosex immediately. It is illicit sex, otherwise, your chances of advancing in spiritual life are nil."[4] In his commentary on the Vedanta-sutra by Veda Vyāsa, Swami Prabhupada wrote "It appears here that the homosexual appetite of males for each other is created in this episode of the creation of the demons by Brahmā. In other words, the homosexual appetite of a man for another man is demoniac and is not for any sane male in the ordinary course of life."
