O Hindus, let us pay gratitude towards God for this success !
From Our Correspondent
A panel of Hindus meeting Dy. District Collector Mr. Dashrath Redkar
Panaji (Goa): Art Chamber, Calangute, Goa planned to screen 'Sita Sings the Blues' movie produced by Anti-Hindu American Cartoonist Nina Paley. This movie denigrates Ramayana and depicts Sri Ram, Goddess Sita and Sri Hanuman in bad light. A panel of Hindus from Sree Sampraday, Shiv Sena, GMDSM, Divya Jagruti Pratishthan, Amma Bhagwan Pratishthan and HJS met Dy. District Collector Mr. Dashrath Redkar and demanded to stop this screening. HJS also immediately started awareness drive on its website and many devout Hindus also lawfully protested through phone and e-mail against this event. Then Mr. Redkar immediately called organisers of the event to cancel the same. He also issued orders on phone to Calangute Police Station to ensure cancellation of the movie. Hence organisers had to cancel the screening of 'Sita Sings the Blues'.
The panel of Hindus which met Dy. District Collector Mr. Redkar comprised Mr. Rajesh Korgaonkar of HJS, Mr. Ramesh Naik of Shiv Sena, Mr. Jayesh Thali of GMDSM, Retd. (Capt.) Dattaram Sawant of Divya Jagruti Pratishthan and Mr. Shrikant Parsekar of Sree Sampraday and many other devout Hindus.
Owner of the Art Center, Rudolf Ludwig has sent following comment to HJS.
On 15th Sept Gallery Art Chamber was scheduled to screen "Sita sings the Blues". I am the owner of the Art Center and I wish to apologize having hurt the sentiments of fellow human beings. As I am not on the selection committee for the film screening I did not know its controversial content. After protests were pouring in on Thursday afternoon we had immediately decided to cancel the film and replaced with another film ("Tokyo"). This decision came much before the local authorities (DC)had been involved. Thank you for your understanding.

My heartfelt thanks to HJS for the success! We will continue fighting for stopping denigration of our Sanatan Dharma!
Hello stupid Neena, you protect yourself with dignity before writing about epic like ramayana. I do not know what kind of sadist education you had in your school or doing for sake of name and fame, MONEY.
STOP THIS NONSENSE.
RAMS.

Nina Paley, what is your religion? Can you tell us what pleasure you got in humiliating the Hindus. Give us the pleasure in showing your life story in animation form. Would you have a heart to depict your parents, extended family in the same manner you have done to Lord RAMA Mother Sita and LORD Hanuman. Or are you relating to what you have seen or experienced in life. Ask the Lord for forgiveness!!

This is great work. Tell Sita not to sing the blues. Lets win. Om Namah Shivaya!
Stop playing with the sentiments & centuries old beliefs of people. There is limit to the tolerence level. The world needs peace not friction at a like now. Show some sense and responsibility.

Kindly stop this film as it would hurt the feelings of the Hindu community worldwide.
All the diesties are worshipped and their presentation in a wrong way is immoral.
Must stop. thanks
