If you don't know already, I am born in a Vaishnava family...that doesn't say much but take it for what it is worth.
The purpose of my post on this thread is a behaviour of "Vaishnavas" that I have encountered on different forums. As a hindu, I am concerned about this behaviour.
Most of the vaishnavas that I have come across on the internet are very sectarian in nature and generally sarcastic or down right angry at other hindu sects. One does not have to go out of this forum even to see this behaviour.
Have we forgotten that we are "hindus" and as such should have and should show respect to "all" sects even if we do not agree with their teachings?
If all vaishnavas are taught to belittle other hindu sects these days then believe me it leaves a bitter taste in other people's mouth. And if any vaishnava thinks that Bhagwan has instructed us to belittle others then they are just plain wrong!
While people like me shun the missionary 'shove it down your throat' mentality of other religions, it is sad to see that this mentality exists in our own house too!!
pretty sad to see this...
