Guest guest Posted August 28, 2001 Report Share Posted August 28, 2001 || Srimathe Ramanujaya namaha || || Om namo bhagavathe vAsudhevAya || Dear Bhaktas, Last evening, I went home as usual around 7ish tired. While casually(lazily) surfing the TV channels. The Discovery channel caught my attention. It was a program - collection of stories about doom of the universe from various religions. I waited curiously to know what might they say about our version. Finally they did talk about it (“Hindus believe that..”) To my surprise, they never mentioned the word ‘pralaya’ they mentioned about Brahma Vishnu and Shiva. Also they pictured a Brahmin look alike playing with few circular blocks of differet sizes to form pyramids. The depiction was very vague and short. I felt it was not fair to attempt on such a strong topic without much information about it. Not just this, few days back, I saw National Geographic Society talking about ‘spirituality in India’ and they were showing some fair held in a south Indian village, the kind where you see stuff like people piercing their tongue. I agree that these are seen in India but they are not just that. Feel free to disagree with me. Can we do something to bring better awareness about these? Or should we answer the the question "Is it worth it?" before. I guess you got adiens’ point of concern. dAsan Srivatsa Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Messenger http://phonecard./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
