The ‘vandalised’ Vinayagar

Vinayagar

First and foremost, thanks to Navin for emailing me about this. Dear all, if you look carefully, the picture above seems to be somewhat similar to one of our gods or to be precise, our respectful Lord Vinayagar. Some of you might even know him by his alternative names, such as Vigneshwara and Ganesha to name a few.

The picture above depicts our god sitting peacefully while looking at us. But, at a second glimpse, you would definitely notice that something is terribly wrong with him. Well, maybe he’s not, but the picture is! Our god here is depicted as wearing a headphone, holding some CDs, a laser disc, an Ipod and a pot of I-don’t-know-what-the-hell-is-that, in each of his hands. Now, here we have our very own high-tech Vinayagar, posing for a DJ tracks compilation album which originated from an unknown country a year ago.

Anyway, should we go berserk about it? Or should we take it easily since no alcohols or cigarettes are involved?

Whatever hoo-has it may be, remember, never forget to believe in yourself first, before believing in god.

      And, I don’t think it has anything to do with “Dutch” bro… And I’m not sure which dude from which country designed the image above.

      bhagavaane….unggalayyum ippadi pannitanggala….
      inthe kandravi ellam nekku vendam

      cant really blame the dj for his ignorance.as they say “Kali muttipochi”

      but seeing tis from another angle, as the supreme divinity is unlimited in forms,as infinity itself, and all intelligence that man posses comes from the almighty, this cud be part of his ‘tiruvilayadal’……
      (for gods sake, please don’t believe me)

      kaake kaake ganapathy kaake,
      sagalamum thandida aingaran kaake….

      (acp anbuchelvan is nowhere to be found)

      *pot of I-don’t-know-what-the-hell-is-that*…
      i just hope its not just that ,”pot”

      ignorance is the key here…. ppl are too ignorant to adjudge the sensitivity of others…

      but like i once said, we gotta know who did this, and why they did it… if it’s an honest mistake, educate them on it, rather than making a big hoohaa over it…

      this is a common thing in western countries. a lot of hindu symbols are often altered/adjusted and used as artworks/designs. as long as ganesha doesnt have a grenade or ak-47 in his hands, i wont go beserk abt this.

      @BoHin : It’s only a matter of time before he is used to depict holding Ganja or alcohols.

      But then, if this is the work of Indians, then I’ve got no words. Tamilan neke Tamilan nalathan alivu.
