"only" Hindu Temple in Russia faces demolition

[Nair saab]

If Everything is According to the Russian law there is no point giving hate comments...

But here the A&&holes have went against there joint statement in 2006 ... this shows how much say the orthodox Church has in the Russian government ... & offcorse there Church should not be allowed in Indian until Temple is allowed...

another Fact Hinduism is the fastest growing religion in Russia today ... so the Church is nervous that they would loose the grip over the government to Hindus... lol these idiots dont know that Hindus or concept of Hinduism never try to influence the governance of a country or try to indulge in a political matter unlike Abhrahamic religions ...

& this is not new the Orthodox Church is known fro Harassing Russian Hindu since long time ...On November 29 2005, Archbishop Nikon of the Russian Orthodox Church sent a letter to the mayor of Moscow, describing the Hindu deity Krishna as an 'evil demon'. The letter continued in that manner, using words such as 'satanic'.

& there where stories of Hindus being victimized, threatened, bullied, beaten and subject to violence... even A misinformation campaign was launched against Hindus by the Orthodox Church...


theres a another angle to it as well... the Russian archeologist have excavated a Vishu Idol in the volga region of Russia which dated of 7th century ...

Well, though it is not respectful but if the temple is not subscribing to the laws of Ministry of Urban Development, then rightful permission has to be sought according to government guidelines in that country so that a new temple can be constructed legally and legitimately.

Although I don't know how Russian Hindus will take this. They will definitely be pissed off. ISKCON and Shaivite sect has a small but significant presence in Russia.

When you identify your natural roots and culture of your own land and give importance to it.

How? give me one example viz a viz India. I mean how will you practice it if you want to go back to your roots and culture

 

[SamantK]

you failed to come up with one standard.

If India take up an internal issue of country at diplomatic level by poking its nose then its all ok BUT if any other country shows concern over the same in India then it becomes a matter of a bruised ego.


come out of your complex and either be bold or just dont mince your words.

In international politics and diplomacy there is never one standard... world is not as simplistic as you want it to be.. I see only certain people thinking that way.

What you describe as poking nose should be decided by the country in question, not some internet poster..

Another Indian member also said that India should NOT allow an orthodox church in India, just want to ask why you link India with a temple in Russia?

Indians are a multicultural society bound by Dharma, We are a multi language society yet each and every one respect their own identity, dress code and language.

When it comes to Nationalism every one is behind our National flag, when it comes to regional identity we will proudly display it and follow it, Every region has its own festivals(there are lot of commonalities in festivals But there are some exceptions) and rituals (Based on the climate and culture).

India is divided into states based on Language and so each state has its own identity and each state will take care of their culture and identity.

Indian society is also tolerant to others cultures and identities.

He did that in personal capacity and even his political party distand itself from his statement hence no such move from Govt of Pakistan whereas in this case the Govt of India is taking it up with Russians at diplomatic level.

again i want to ask you why you want to link it to the India by banning construction of an orthodox church there?

They portrait Krishna as Demonic ... Evil etc in a Christian majority country... but what Hindus in India do is try to establish peace between each other for co-existence ... to show other Hindus that christians r similar like us & we should not harm them ...

@Andromache

As I said start digging your cultural roots and give importance to it. A society with strong cultural roots cannot be invaded completely by other cultures.

-- Take your literature and give importance to it and ask your future generations to read it.

-- Take your folk music and dance and let it evolve to suit the modern day and use these programs in your Televisions and Cinemas.

-- Traditional dress code must be used for important occasions and important days.

-- Give importance to you great ancestors and their achievements and let your next generation know them.

-- Native language and accent should be used in plays, TV's and what ever medium is there.

When it comes to Nationalism you can be a Pakistani (what ever culture or region you may belong).

If read the First post properly its mentioned that this was accepted in a Join statement which said Temple will be constructed in Moscow & a Church in Delhi ... since they went back against the Joint declaration there is no need for India to allow one in delhi ...

NEW DELHI:

In a statement, the temple officials said they feared that even the permanent temple would face the axe. "A source in the Moscow mayor's office said on condition of anonymity that Mayor Sergey Sobyanin also ordered to axe the permanent temple project, which Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit and previous Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov had included in a joint declaration in 2006 as a symbol of cultural cooperation between the cities. Following the declaration, Indian ambassador Ajai Malhotra laid the cornerstone for the new project earlier this year," the statement said.
