Hinduism is sexy & voluptuous

I am, not an expert, but of what ever I have read and experienced think Hinduism is the most liberal of religion in all aspects of life including sex. Hence it comes as a surprise that some groups with half baked knowledge are lecturing people on morality and sexual conduct. If the sermons were given by any other spiritual groups, then it’s understandable.

Having read some threads here, where men are against women drinking, please note the following :
Sita used to consume wine
(After recovering his kidnapped wife Sita from Lanka, Rama's coronation is performed upon returning to Ayodhya. Both Rama and Sita spend their evenings enjoying wine as well as succulent well-cooked meats in the Asoka-grove. The following quote which captures this regal scene is from Uttarakanda sarga 52 (or sarga 42 in some editions) of Valmiki Ramayana)

Kama Sutra – Which religious followers can ever lay claim on a book like the Kamsutra. Imagine if the Jihandis had read this book, the world would have been a very peaceful place to live. They are promised of the some virgins after martyrdom, in Hinduism its part of daily life, who the hell wants to die! It’s another thing that most Indian men may not have read or tried the various positions. Imagine the Jihandis are told to make love 5 times a day.

Khajuraho – The meticulously described positions by the sculptures at Khajuraho proclaims the arrival of a highly evolved religion. A religion which is not scared of its sexuality. Today when debates rage within various religious groups between contraception’s and pre martial sex we don’t even blink an eyelid on these issues. Until a ruckus is created by semi literate groups or sexually frustrated uncle in some God
forsaken corner of the country.

When the Church is petrified on the thought that Christ might have had a daughter, we know what a play boy Krishna was.

Finally in regards to attire, Amar Chitra Katha’s sketches of the Apsara’s is the ultimate in sensual clothing. If the Ram Sena is demanding that all girls should wear similar cloths, please forward me your membership form, I will love to join your gang. Till then am biased to Lord Krishna.

Confucius in Blue waters

The PLA (Peoples Liberation Armys) Navy deploying 2 destroyers and a supply ship in the Gulf of Aden is an interesting development. Traditionally the Chinese Navy has been focused on protecting the territorial interests and has not been deployed overseas (except for friendly nation visits and exercises) even during the Tsunami, when its archrival the Indian Navy was flexing its muscles around.The two Chinese destroyers - the Haikou and Wuhan carry on board special forces, guided missiles and helicopters and claims to be on a 3 month mission with clear objectives to protect Chinese merchant naval interest in these waters.No doubt there has been attacks on Chinese vessels by pirates and they have full justification on protecting there interests, but masquerading under this excuse is there a larger game plan.A few thoughts on the Chinese Navy1. The Chinese economic interest in the Middle East, Africa and South America (Chile) is forcing it to create a Blue water Navy. Is this the beginning of a creation of that?2. What happens in case of an incidence and vessels have to be repaired or dry docked? Will it berth in Pakistan (Gwadar)? Hence test out the possibilities of a future naval base there?3. Are they trying to check how well they can safe guard there interests at Gawadar, and hence a new route for essential supplies through Pakistan into China.4. Gain experience in long duration deployment, refueling, Helicopter/ Special Forces ops, etc.5. Are there trying to challenging the US navy’s superiority in international waters? 6. Try and neutralize the Indian Navy’s influence in the region.7. Reason for worry for Japan & South Korea, and how will they react?8. Can we expect a Japanese fleet very soon?9. Incredible increase in Naval Armament builds up with plans to build its own aircraft carrier. Is it a move from defensive to a offensive navy?10. Finally this seems to be part of the String of Pearls strategy to gain control over the region.The only good thing from this action is the pressure build up on the Somali nuisance.
