Comments by "Achintya Nath Sexena" (@Achintyanath) on "Haridwar: District administration showers flower petals on Kanwariyas, through helicopter" video.

When I was child the Kanwariyas were true devotees walking silently without disturbing anyone. Nowadays the Kanwariyas are loud, playing DJ, blocking roads, fighting common people on roads on small issues. Hinduism is about silent prayer and meditation not such loud displays of ego.

@deepika2644 Today meat price in Lucknow on Licious and Fresh to Home meat delivery apps is approx ₹1400/- per kg. Why would someone throw meat at Kanwariyas when it is so expensive?

@deepika2644 Which question of yours I have not answered? Ask clearly and you will get clear answer

@deepika2644 Why all schools and colleges on the way to Kanwar Yatra in UP and Uttarakhand are closed till 28th July? Is it because of Muslims or the Kanwariyas?
3
@deepika2644 I acknowledge Swami Vivekananda completely. That is why I am skeptical about the allegations that someone threw meat at Kanwariyas.
3
@deepika2644 I am from Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh. That's where I come from.
3
@deepika2644 If they threw meat then they wasted expensive merchandise. They could have delivered to my home and I would have made mutton curry out of it.
3
@deepika2644 If you love Swami Vivekananda then why do you think that meat is taboo in Hinduism and if anyone throws meat at Hindus they are insulting Hinduism? This is completely opposite to Swami Vivekananda's teaching.
3
@deepika2644 If you think I am woke then Swami Vivekananda will seem like super woke to you because he said that eating meat or not eating meat has nothing to do with spirituality.

@deepika2644 "We reject none, neither theist, nor pantheist, monist, polytheist, agnostic, nor atheist; the only condition of being a disciple is modelling a character at once the broadest and the most intense. Nor do we insist upon particular codes of morality as to conduct, or character, or eating and drinking, except so far as it injures others. Whatever retards the onward progress or helps the downward fall is vice; whatever helps in coming up and becoming harmonised is virtue. We leave everybody free to know, select, and follow whatever suits and helps him. Thus, for example, eating meat may help one, eating fruit another. Each is welcome to his own peculiarity, but he has no right to criticise the conduct of others, because that would, if followed by him, injure him, much less to insist that others should follow his way. A wife may help some people in this progress, to others she may be a positive injury. But the unmarried man has no right to say that the married disciple is wrong, much less to force his own ideal of morality upon his brother. We believe that every being is divine, is God. Every soul is a sun covered over with clouds of ignorance, the difference between soul and soul is owing to the difference in density of these layers of clouds. We believe that this is the conscious or unconscious basis of all religions, and that this is the explanation of the whole history of human progress either in the material, intellectual, or spiritual plane — the same Spirit is manifesting through different planes. We believe that this is the very essence of the Vedas. We believe that it is the duty of every soul to treat, think of, and behave to other souls as such, i.e. as Gods, and not hate or despise, or vilify, or try to injure them by any manner or means. This is the duty not only of the Sannyasin, but of all men and women." Swami Vivekananda March 3rd, 1894 Chicago (USA)

@shodhitgoyal6539 For me, Swami Vivekananda's interpretation of Hinduism is True Hinduism and True Hindutva. It is the only ideology that can ensure continuity of Hinduism with a healthy balance between spirituality, rationality, scientific temper and faith.
2
@shodhitgoyal6539 Today Hindutva is associated with overt and loud displays of religosity. According to Savarkar, religosity and rituals were weaknesses of Hindus.

@dkumartiwari6656 Ye kaunse kanwariye hain jo DJ baja kar tractor ya SUV se chalte hain, road block karte hain aur school jaane wale bachchon ko pareshan karte hain? Kaise kanwariya hain ye jinke karan 10 days school aur college band karna padta hai jisse koi apriya ghatna na ho jaye?
2
@dkumartiwari6656 UP aur Uttarakhand me kanwar yatra ke raaste me aane waale saare school aur college 28 July tak band hain. Ye kaunse Shiv bhakt hain jinke karan bachche school ya college nahin ja sakte?
2
@dkumartiwari6656 Goat meat is selling at ₹800/- per kg nowadays in UP. Why will someone throw something so expensive at Kanwariyas?
2
@dkumartiwari6656 Administration kuch karta nahin kyonki kuch karega toh Hindu bhawana aahat karne ka case lagega. Isiliye 10 din ke liye school aur college hi band kar dete hain jiske baad school aur college waale double time class lekar academic time loss ko recover karte hain.

@shodhitgoyal6539 Today Hindutva is associated with cow protection, beef ban, and vegetarianism. Savarkar actually thought that these three were weaknesses of Hindus. Today his books have been edited to remove direct criticisms of these three ideas and the indirect criticisms are being reinterpreted to suit the current political scenario.
2
@deepika2644 You people should fight a full war with all Muslims of the world and end this problem forever. People like me are sick and tired of these daily fights.
2
@shodhitgoyal6539 Savarkar's thoughts were completely non-religious. He was himself a non-religious person. In fact, if Savarkar was alive today, then today's Hindutva politicians would have called him Leftist....
2
@deepika2644 I am on the topic. You don't like my opinion.

@dkumartiwari6656 Meat khaane wale Hindu nahin hote kya?

@deepika2644 Dumb are people like you who have made Hinduism as intolerant and fanatic as Islam. You are competing with Islam to show who is more fanatic.

@shreekantkumarsahu9570 Suwar kahan milta hai pehle batao tab khaoon. Australia me khaya tha ek baar bahut achcha laga tha.

@deepika2644 You want me to say that Swamiji should have thrown the missionary into the sea for abusing Hinduism? Isn't it?
1
@deepika2644 Or do you want me to grab a Christian missionary by the collar and throw them into some water body?
1
@Learner_being Lagta hai ab achcha meat khaane ke liye apni property bech kar kisi foreign country me shift hona padega. Bas recession na aa jaaye ki property ke daam bhi na mile. Tab India me hi phans jayenge ghaas phoos kand mool kha kar bacha hua jeevan kaatna padega.
1
@deepika2644 You even deleted your first comment in which you asked where people like me come from and that need for Hinduism today is to be aggressive to fight Muslims and also accused me of being 'woke'

@Learner_being Hum nahi kha pa rahe meat. Chicken se santosh karna pad raha hai.

@deepika2644 I am not playing any politics here. I am not a politician.

@Learner_being Today chamchas and darbaris of BJP are in power. Chamchagiri and Durbari culture is Indian culture no matter who is in power

@shodhitgoyal6539 Savarkar was a radical Atheist who thought that Hindus became weak due to cow protection, vegetarianism and overindulgence in religious rituals. Do you really want Savarkar's Hindutva?

@dkumartiwari6656 Tum logo ko meat se kya problem hai?

@AkanshaGupta2009 You talk about Mohammad and Aisha. Don't expect everyone to copy you.
