Re: Dear Krishna, save me from your followers
This is what is so beautiful and attractive to Westerners and other non Indians. But many Hindus ,mostly Krishna people, preach this supreme personality of Gos philosophy which equates to my God is better than yours.
Dear Friend,
This is mostly an INTERNET phenomenon. Trust me, in most Hindu societies, people are completely non-sectarian. Even if they follow a particular sect, they do not impose their beliefs on others. I have lived in 3 different states of India in first 26 years of my life and no body was interested in imposing sectarian values. I am from a vaishnav family but we worship all Hindu Devi-Devtas with same respect. Of course we may love one god more or less but we respect all of them equally. You should not get perturbed by what others say. Hinduism is diverse and that is the beauty of this philosophy. We can not impose our thoughts on others. Listen to others but don't get hurt by them. I was also a bit concerned about sect thing a few years ago, but with time I realized that it is only internet warriors who try to impose sectarian thoughts. No need to panic, just concentrate on what you love about dharma.
So do not let the noises bother you my brother. Move on. The noises - as apparent - may be music to others. So do not have grudge - all are fellow beings.
This !
When the light has risen, there is no day, no night, neither existence nor non-existence; Siva alone is there. That is the eternal, the adorable light of Savitri, - and the ancient wisdom proceeded thence (Svetasvatara Upanishad IV-18). :)
