Guest guest Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Hello my Friend, I did not expect your apology, but in love I will accept it as diksha. This is your site, and as Moderators you have undertaken a job to do. This sure is one Pandora's Box you opened :-), which for sure exposed a lot of little demons in me, which is good because it helps me know myself and provides a measure of my spiritual station. So THANKS. Do put me back on moderation, I am still far from perfect, and would not like another boo-boo on my account please. So I seek your help please. It is very very generous of Nora and other Moderators to have thought me fit for an un-moderated position, but I do not think I am ready for this guys. Thanks really for thinking nice of me, but I do not wish to disturb the flow ignorantly. Lots of love, Vir Devi Bhakta <devi_bhakta > wrote: No apologies necessary. Your opinions are welcome, your input is valued. I started this thread, in fact, by posting a [Hindu-penned] defense of Husain, and I knew it had the potential to draw sharp commentary and disagreement (the moderator instinct, eh?). At the same time, I see no value in personal attacks, gossip and mudslinging. That was my only objection. Sorry for being snappy. ;-p DB , Vir Rawlley <redderred wrote: > > My apologies Devi Bhakta, I will be be more considerate and restrained.

I am afraid I saw no reason for Hussain to offer spiritual titles to his paintings, when all he wants is female nudity and to boost his sales. > > I am rather sad that these posts have distressed me. I am also wondering what was the point of this post in the first place. All discussions have been, like mine, simply opinions. A sick artist has made a mockery of dieties I/we worship, and we are "fighting" among our-selves. > > Wah Devi !

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 It's fine Llundrub. I never sought any votes. Llundrub <llundrub (AT) cox (DOT) net> wrote: I might have agreeed but you said, "obsessed with the female form," and so am I which is why I love Ma, so you personally lost my vote. Weak. And actually I like his paintings. I think they're a sort of cross between Rousseau and Picasso. I actually like them. - Vir Rawlley Thursday, April 27, 2006 12:08 PM Re: Re: Putting Clothes on a Goddess Hussain is a dirty filthy man, a pevert. He is horny and obsessed with the female form. Many years ago, when he was not so famous in Kolkata, he was infatuated with this lady, and painted her nudes. The lady in modesty did not want it so, and Hussain therefore painted horses over them. These paintings are still displayed in this lady's home. This information is from my personal circles and is 100 % authentic. ------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
