The New Dating Guru

The protesting Hindu right group - Hindu Janjagruti Samiti - is apparently peeved by this depiction of Lord Krishna and claim that “Gopis are symbolic of boundless devotion”. They are also angry that Lord Krishna is used to promote dating that the group considers a “social vice” and defines it as “obscene behavior indulged by young girls and boys under the pretext of meeting each other”. Now I wholly support their right to protest and express their displeasure at their interpretation of the advertisement as long as they do not indulge in physical harm or destruction of property. I understand they need to raise funds to keep their Samiti running and any publicity even if it paints you as Luddites stuck in the dark ages helps.

Krishna as dating guru? Well, the dude certainly knew a thing or two about dating. And I must add, he looks pretty cool in his shades.

Respecting sentiments of all people is real meaning of freedom of expression. Lord Krishna has also killed all demons on side of Adharma…

Those who are mocking Lord are also a form of them…
