LONDON, ENGLAND, March 11, 2005: Anil Bhanot of the Hindu Council UK (abhanot@hinducounciluk.org) is protesting an article which appeared the day before Maha Sivaratri in the Times of India. It is titled “He’s hot, he is Indian Idol No 1,” and is by Bachi Karkaria.
It begins:
“Indra can keep his corner office. The penthouse of the pantheon belongs to Shiva. Its decor bears the imprimatur of a Fortune-favoured designer, and yet, it’s unmistakably bohemian. Shiva knows the rules to break them; he’s awesome at shifting the goal posts.
He’s comfortable with ‘if you’ve got it, flaunt it’; he can swim with the sharks, and still find place in his heart for the littlest minnow. He wears the suit of divinity lightly. Yes, Mahadev is a maha-dude.”
Go to “source” if you want to read the rest and look at the picture of Lord Siva as a rock star.
