There was a case filed by a few people in a court in Warsaw, Poland against ISKCON (Hare Krishna’s, Radha Krishna Temple). Noting that ISKCON was gaining followers in Poland, a nun filed a case before a Judicial Magistrate.
The nun prayed that ISKCON should
be banned because its followers were glorifying a Character called Krishna 'Who was loose in morals, having married 16,108 Gopikas'.
When the case came up for hearing the ISKCON defendant requested the Judge to ask the nun to repeat the oath she had taken when she was ordained
as a nun.
The Judge asked the nun to recite the oath loudly. She would not. ISKCON man asked the Judge whether he could read it out for the nun. The Judge said go ahead. The pledge was in effect that 'she (the nun) is married to Jesus Christ'.

ISKCON man said, "Your Lordship!
Bagawan Krishna is alleged to have 'married' 16,108 women. There are more than a million nuns who assert that they are married to Jesus Christ. Between the two, who is the loose character?" The Judge dismissed the case

Not sure when this happened in Poland- came across in FB

Swamigal asked him if he would do Him a favour. The geologist was overwhelmed he wondered what it was that he, a mere mortal could help the Saakshaat Deivam with. He immediately agreed. Mahaperiya asked him if he knew about Kaladi.
He replied even as a young child Image
he knew that it was the birth place of Adi Shankaracharyar
Periyava then told him that the river Purna ran through that place and that Shankarar's mother used to bathe in it every day. He then requested him to arrange for a diver Image

Points to ponder about Shahjahan

1. Shahjahan was a cruel king. On becoming the king, Shahjahan imprisoned his step mother Nur Jahan. He sent brother Shahryar to the gallows. He had earlier got rid of brother Khusrau. Now he got Khusrau's sons Dawar and Garshasp executed.
Jahangir's brother Daniyal had died earlier. Shahjahan now killed Daniyal's sons Tahmuras and Hoshang ― all on 23 January 1628.

2. He loved only violence and sex. He has no artistic sensibilities. *He raped his own daughter Jahanara and justified it, saying that a gardener
must enjoy the fruit he produced.*

3. A ruffian by nature, Shahjahan refused to be tutored by the plethora of tutors appointed from time to time. His misdeeds of dacoity and arson throughout India, while in revolt against his emperor father Jehangir, made the latter record,

A True Story
A call from the old age home to her only son in the Gulf.
The son says" It is recession here don't ask for any donation or financial help."
The old age home manager says "Who asked for donation? Ur mom has breathed her last a few hours ago.."
Son: Then I shall come as the landed property is to be dealt with..."
Manager: "No it is sold two years ago to meet the medical expenses of your ailing dad"
Son: Oh, I was not aware.....I may send some money to conduct mom' s last rites in that case.
Manager:"No, she has donated the body to the medical college & some compensation may be received for that. I want ur account no,to remit the cash,that's why I called u.."
Total silence from the son!
Respect people’s feelings even if it doesn’t mean anything to u.

Tricks, words and tactics. Nowadays jihadists are writing Vedas, Upanishads & Gita, their purpose is to misinterpret and defile the traditional religion
This is also an example of tactical jihad.

The book of Haraf Prakashani, these books are being published from
Kolkata. Aggression has not stopped even today!

To insult Hinduism, they would misinterpret the Hindus with reference to the Vedas.

It will be said that the Vedas speak of Hindus eating cows. In this way, they will contaminate the traditional religion
with wrong information. Various groups, IDs, pages have been created on social media Facebook with the names of Hindu girls and boys. These conspiratorial masses, including misinterpretations of religion, are cleverly engaged in proselytizing. Opening different groups or IDs,

Is this correct!?
Hindu endowment board should be asked to refrain the places of worship to be let for any film shooting
They can allow only for documentary after proper scrutiny & not to shoot these kind of scenes!
One Guy argued, saying in Chruch during wedding they Kiss!?
Then why r we not doing that in office , will people be allowed to kiss at office ? Every place have it's decorum or sanctity let's appreciate it.
Our ancestors didn't have sex in the temple to show their open mindedness. That's the difference between a home & temple a seperate
place of devotion built as per aagamas
It's has its own Sanctity let's Respect it. U can't kiss everyday wen a mass is going on in the church
Wedding in church is not a religious event,it's a private event of a family. Let's not become semi literates just to put forth an opinion
