HJS protest the denigration of Lord Krushna by TOI
May 17, 2007
Mumbai: TOI, an english daily, has stooped very low by denigrating Lord Shree Krishna for an advertisement called 'Dating Sutra' published on 'indiatimes.com', the Times Group website. The Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) staged strong demonstrations today at Dadar, Mumbai to protest against this denigration. It has also filed a police complaint against the said newspaper.
Denigration of Lord Sree Krishna by Times of India
'indiatimes.com' has started a commercial sms (smart message system) facility by the name 'Dating Sutra' to facilitate dating (Obscene behaviour indulged by young girls and boys under the pretext of meeting each other).
In the above referred advertisement, the original picture of Lord Sree Krushna and Gopis has been changed. In place of Sree Krushna, a youth has been shown sending SMS from his mobile phone. This youth is surrounded by Gopis. In the corner of this picture, 'dating sutra' has been printed as per the latest trend among youth.
The said advertisement has been published on the daily TOI, so also the website 'indiatimes.com'. Today, on behalf of the HJS, demonstrations were staged at Mumbai to protest against this advertisement. At this time, the agitators strongly protested against TOI and demanded arrest and severe punishment for the editor.
HJS members protest TOI outside Dadar station
HJS' State Spokesperson Shri. Ramesh Shinde clarified that the Gopis' are symbolic of boundless devotion and Lord Shree Krishna is the seat of faith of crores of Hindus. We Hindus cannot tolerate this denigration. Also, 'dating' is a social vice. Those advocating this concept are launching an attack on our culture. Persons responsible for this issue, detrimental from the social and religious viewpoint, should be severely punished. No legal action has been initiated against painter M.F. Hussain, inspite of scores of complaints and the Court order against him. This encourages such persons having a foul attitude.
The signature campaign launched in this regard received an overwhelming response from the audience. Tomorrow, a complaint consisting of 1,000 signatures is going to be filed with the Azad Maidan police station.

Who ever deface great personalities should be behead in public to set an example for anti-nationalists..
The Times of India is an anti Hindu News paper. Two years back on Mahashivratri day, they had published an article on Shankar Bhagwan on the front page and the writer had addressed Shankar Bhawan as Maha Dude, Shiva is Hot, Shiva is cool and in its rampant libido never thought twice before seducing wifes of Rishi munis.
Let us all boycott these rubbish / pornographic news paper.

Small things culminate into big things later on. So, the problem must be nipped at the bud. Our minds have been polluted by western media, and we have become insensitive to seeing our venerated Gods and Goddesses being denigrated. We must continue to fight and we will win, if we are strong and determined. Besides protests, every organization should try to establish strong links with editors of big newspapers and journalists, so that they can talk
them into stop publishing anything against Hinduism.
For them, any publicity is a good publicity. When will we understand this? We are fulfilling their motives by making undue chaos and demonstrations. Of course, I'm not saying we should not do anything, such act should always be condemned, but not through demonstrations. Sue them!!! Of course, court case will again attract public attention and therefore company again gets advantage of "good publicity"! But at the end of the day, there are greater chances of company being suffered financially. No such case with demonstrations, companies put off their ads and get 'apologetic'.
(Before reacting to this message aggressively, read it again and try to understand the point that I'm trying to deliver here.)
(Demonstrations give opportunity for Hindus to participate and do something for Dharma.Besides it helps in reaching of the issue to public on account of wide publicity and creates immediate pressure for apololgy.Legal proccedings are necessary and can be resorted if these measures do not yield results-Editor)

Do any one believe Lord Krishna had 16008 wife. It is too foolish to think like that it was only an imagination of story writer to picturise Bhagavan like that. Actually krishna knows 16008 tunes in his Bhasuri. Using that tunes he could attarct men and women and even animals like cows because one who know the secret of Brahmam can do these mayas. If we want to protest we should first protest against that story writer. Krishna is one what we can see in Bhagavat Gita. Any one having read at least one stansa in Bagavat Gita can never think krishna doing these silly things with these ladies. May be the gopies enjoyed the very sight of krishna. But one who or that himself or thatself control maya will never come under its influence. So I have a request to all those love krishna to completely understand krishna by reading bagavat Gita. Nainam chindathi Shastrani nainam chindathi pavaka Na chainam Kletayathopo Na shoshayathi Marutha. Neither weapons can harm it nor air can dry it . he or it is above all your imagination nor sun or any star shines before it. Donnt worry but be pitty of those Agnjanis(idiots) who think krishna as a person or human. It is not their fault but all its happens because of Bagavans maya. You just pray to Bhagavan to uncover the maya from them and show Bhagavans real shape.
Don't hurt the sentiments of Hindus for you have to pay hugely in the near future. We respect all religions. Do the same of leave the country and go either to middle east or the western countries you sick sons xx xxxxxx

It is really atrocious and absurd pictures
why do they pick on us?
i think because we have just gone a little too far on granting this freedom of press thing to them
It is not often you see such articles based on other religions becuse the press knows that they will suffer heavily in their hands
we have to take to arms means to stop such things say an outright attack on press clubs or publishing houses or that matter
Its a Disgrace to my favourite GOD. Its our duty to preserve our culture and stop all the Anti-Hindu activities taking place in Hindustan.JAI SRI KRISHNA

It has become the tendency of media to target hindu sentiments.They want to taste the patience of hindu community by targeting them again and again.In India since there is no control on the media either print or electronic they have been exposed of immense power without responsibility.So as Abraham Lincon said "Power brings accountability", and without it it brings chaos.So our Information and Broadcasting Minister should take the laws pertaining to various developed nations into account and draw a line.We all are aware about the September 11th bombing of Twin Towers but can any one of us recall that we saw any of the dead bodies,or any part of human being in the clipping either in print or in electronic.No..No body can..because there is a rule which prohibits the the media and they have drawn a line limiting there role long time before.These days news channels will report anything and everything in name of breaking news.Show pornographic materials through out day.And times group is the champion in all these immoral activities.Its Page 3 is full of information and snaps about infidelity.Hindus are being targetted day in day out but they are aware that they cannot take the same liberty either with Muslims or the Christans....That sums all why the government is keeping itself mum over hurting the sentiments of hindus.
Had the same thing happened involving relegious persoalities of Christianity or Islam, the whole coutry would be on the streets. The relegious fanatics n pseudo secularists wud be crying for the throats of those involved.... Remember the cartoon issue.... Even a fatwa was issued that too against someone not from our country.....
Now if the Hindus come on street against this issue, the whole brigade of the pseudo secularists wud be hell bent to prove the fanaticism of the hindu supporters. Long speeches of curtailment of press freedom, opinion polls on India going back rather than fwd wud be made.. Why all this only with Hindu sentiments????
Why dont we as a country just shun the pseudo secularism and be true secularist where in all relegions includin Hinduism is weighed in the same pan????
Yes I call our country a pseudo secular one bcoz say whatever, hindus dont enjoy the same liberties that many other relegions do. If the recent episodes of degrading hindu deities had taken place involving a Christ or a Mohammed, whole country wud have stood up and blabbered about the need to respect relegious sentiments....
But the stand changes once the target is hindu sentiments...
Then u dont here speeches of hurting hindu sentiments.. Then u hear attrocities of Moral police!!!!
When are we going rise above this pseudosecularism????

I think the best way to protest against TOI is to unsubscribe to all thier publications. They have no right to disgrace the almighty.
Such newspapers should be banned in Hindustan. The contents they present to the reader are totally against Hindu culture. The subjects they highlight and the service they wish to provide to "8888" users are also against Hindu Dharma. They are finding out new ways to corrupt the youth of Bharath.

Stop playing with sentiments of people especially Hindus who are hurt most. It seems that it has become fashion and an easy way to target hindus and all thing related to hinduism by all these so called creative minds of 21st century be it mr. hussain or TOI or others...They know that Hindu's are not aggressive and don't like to fight until their necks are completely squeezed and they take advantage of this fact...and abuse us big time in all possible manner.
Would you dare do that with pics of Prophet Mohamad or Jesus Christ ??? do you have guts even to think about that ???? tell me ?
Yes Hindu's can be targeted because they don't like to fight and rather be busy with there work and life and go easy about such things ...so great why not target such community then..we can easily make them full if any one protest...isn't it ???? great ???
its Un-fortunate that an organisation like TOI is also involved in such act which hurt communal and religious sentiment of people and society in general.
I strongly protest against it and request TOI to stop this immediately rather then being snobbish and giving stupid explanations to get away with it.

the frst comment posted here superbly exemplifies wht has called this situation here for.the hindus are most vulnerable lot, they are creatures who are not living for the cause of religion but using it for their purpose.
and they believe some body else will come for them, this is the part they havnt learned iin years of submission.That to sustain ur family u have to take astra in ur hand.religion joins everybody as abrothers , but living here in this country they have failed to see wht r our individual roles in strengthening hinduism .. we hav to start very fast n uniting every body specially dalit brethren to the main stream. n yess we have to start counting the enemies of hinduism, n bharat. TOI is already in my list.
let thm to the shishupal, n id love to do the final justice to them.
n certainly they are not hindus.
hindus is not one whos is born hindu, but the one who practices hindu.

It is really a great shame for all of us.
I havn't forgot the day when some sweden cartoonist has published 'allah's photo in a newspaper. And there was protest started at every part of world. Even this "sick" and so called "secular" media of India also protested at that time.
Now what happened to their secularism ???
Even media is biased here, secularism for them is just to support muslims.
Its time for all of lus to get collected and start a protest against this shameful event. Let us show them what we are, and where we stand.....

These 'secular new papers' should respect the religious sentiments of Hindus as they do in respect of Muslims or Christians. Such things should be firmly dealt with or else these 'secular xxxxxxx' will hurt us more. They should remember that if Hindus give their imaginations and fantasies a picture about christianity or islam, then others would lose ground under their feet.

One who doesnt know about the depth and sicerity of the transcendental pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead through one of the four bonafide Sampradayas can not understand them. He considers everything to be as equal as his low mentality degraded state. This is Shishupal mentality to blaspheme the Lord, The Supreme Personality of Godhead Shri Krishna. But you will not be fortunate enough to die at Krishnas hands. You will simply be subjected to Yamaraj and threefold miseries designed by Durgadevi( Mahamaya orr maya) for to be rotten in this material world life after life. There is only one way out. You sicerely repent in your heart and go and beg( literally beg) forgiveness from the Supreme Lord and His devotees and chant His Transcendetal Holy Name. You can chant ,
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare| Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare||

Now a days this is the reality. Playing with our Hindu relegion and Hindu Sanskruti is the job of honour for these kind of media and our (?) tv channels are also not far away from it.
But I strongly believe somehow all these sick people will have to pay for such hopeless effort.
We will make them pay for sure.

TOI offices should be stoned and set ablaze by Hindu mobs...This newspaper should be boycotted by Hindus....Only then will such pseudo-secular newspaper agencies learn that they cannot meddle with the faith of Hindus. Down with TOI!

मेरा यही केहना है की हिंदुओ की भावनावों के साथ मत खेलो. कभी भगवान राम को कभी भगवान कृष्ण का अपमान किया जाता है. ये हिंदुस्थान है ना कोई और देश. दुसरो के भगवान भगवान है और हमारे नही जो उनकी ऐसी तसवीरे बनाई जाती है. Good Fri. की छुट्टी दि जाती है रामनवमी की नही. क्यों भगवान राम भगवान नही थे ? जागो हिंदुओं संघटित हो और दुनिया को दिखा दो. Hindu is the Life of World.

I am surprised at the various comments that ask for the person to be killed for making an ad. I am sure, Lord Krishna doesn't agree with the Talibanization of Hinduism.
I believe that Hinduism is so great that it withstood hundreds of years of Muslim and British rule so why would a ordinary ad for a SMS service do any harm.
You have a right to protest and please do so. But only if it is done in a peaceful and legal manner. You don't want to insult your country's constitution and legal system by doing what Al-Qaeda does, right?

this is very ban people should not use this type of religious painting for there advertisement... i think govt of india should make law on this type of noncense... or people shold raise there voice to force govt to bring law against it....this is the not first time that happend... before thise such type of incident had happen.......
hindu who are staying in other country they are protesting even for small thing which are against or miss use of there religious stuff ..... why we are silent... we should try to bring in govt to those people who really do something for hindu....

This just shows how is freedom of press being excercised by a Newspaper which has been sponsered by us secular hindus for so many years.
TOI must be pretty secular when it is with respect to Hindus but when it is with Muslims and other faiths it is within the " defined parameters of tolerance" limits
This is a preposterous and extremely cheap stand shown by a newspaper which claims to be a National News Daily.(sic)

TOI is really playing with file and opting for poor tactics to make more money.
all hindus, even english speaking please please boycott all TOI newspaper and products. Even their website now.
you might not take this seriously now, but its like an insult to our father or mother.

i m really stunned, how dare toi misbehave.....wt our GOD.
But before taking any action on them we(all the indians) shud unite first.
It is surprising why only deities related to Hindu faith are always denigrated. Just because this faith is based on henotheism and is much more tolerant and accepting? Secondly the protest against such demeaning of beliefs of this faith should be done in a legal manner, not through violence and killing etc. Else what would be the difference between the trigger-happy extremists and us?

The Times of India is owned by Jains. It is not a Hindu paper even other wise. Most of the media is owned by Jains who apparently pass off as Hindus but in their heart nurse the grievance that once Hinduism had eliminated Jainism.

TOI, sometime back, did same thing with Bhagaban Shiva. They depicted Shivji wearing sun-glass. We must publicise this widely so that people stop subscribing this newspaper and reading it. That is the lession these anti-hindu (actually they are inhuman creatures) brigades need.

This is utter nonsense TOI should stop this or face some tuff response from us "the HINDUS" whose patience is always been tested. If we believe in Gandhigiri We also can revolt against these type of fickle minded attitude towards the so called Majority in this country. Just for the name sake we are the majority and all the rights and reservations are only for minorities.
This is too much. This happens at colleges also .They feel is as commedy at colleges .That should stopped first.

I strongly condemn the incident. I request all our Indians aware of this unfortunate publication should boycott, Times of India. This is a kick on the face of all the Indians those who love this land and its culture of YOGA, DEVOTION, SAMSKAR and LOVE.
this is a disgraceful act on the part of national paper with such a huge purblication. they should not only tkae the add out from circulation but also appologise publically.
i am ashmed, it seems TOI dose not have any religious advisor or editor.

(HJS has always protested and encouraged others to do so in a peaceful and legal manner only. It is evident from the many online protests here as well as news items giving the details of protests by HJS.)
