If it is so offending,may be we could force the Play Boy team to ask Sara Jean to wear a loin cloth.<br /><br />And what is yoga to Hindutva? If so,people of other religions should not be allowed to practice it.Then,one should restrict it with in the fields of religion and let only Hindus practice it. This is the epitome of hypocrisy. We want to sell it( We currently have only these ancient traditions to sell),and then cry over how it is sold!.<br /><br />I loved the pictures.Form where did you find them? From my limited knowledge, nudity is not a crime in Hinduism, and so also sex.Most of our temples have the sexiest looking goddesses I have seen.<br /><br />This is something like Islamisation of Hinduism!!dr.antonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191095888228061156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448802533825615490.post-35603811358002783302010-10-26T14:29:05.219+05:302010-10-26T14:29:05.219+05:30@ insignia

Again I wish you comment in the open....@ Anonymous<br /><br />Again I wish you comment in the open.<br />Middle age western concept and even the Victorian era social ethos were hypocritical. "Lady Chatterly's Lover" was one such example.Modern day Hindu - the term is funny isn't it. Though not frenzied like the Taliban Muslims.<br /><br />@ Balachandran,<br /><br />Bals I wish the discussion dose not fall into the topic of hypocrisy. And my post was only at the triviality of this video. And if nude yoga was offensive , because she displayed yogic postures , and would have been acceptable if she did aerobics?<br />I also did acknolwdge the sales ploy of Playboy.<br /><br />And sure if they did the picture of a Muslim woman offering namaz in the nude we would have many Salman Rushdies running for cover.<br /><br />Thanks to the news of this video curiosity doubles and the magazine and video will be pre sold.<br /><br />By the same token of judgement the naked sanyasis and the beautiful Chandala period sculptures of Khujaraho must be offensive. <br /><br />One can practise yoga in any dress that is comfortable. Here yoga was not the point, revenue was and the offensive feel of chaste Hindus only comforted that.<br /><br /><br />@ Kavitha<br /><br />You are right. Funny and trivial too.anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448802533825615490.post-82775895960644319932010-10-26T14:15:32.218+05:302010-10-26T14:15:32.218+05:30Its a gimmick!!!

It is true that religion, like everything, is up for sale. And so long as we are selling ourselves, fine. Look at the ads of ayurvedic resorts in Kerala. The partially nude body of a foreigner woman is displayed being massaged. The USP is the nude body and not the oil or the massaging technique. <br /><br />There is nothing immoral in offering my mother or my woman for sale, but you ask the rate - now that is an unpardonable offence!<br /><br />But let us not forget the wily westerners. How would it look if a muslim woman offered prayers in the nude? Imagine her dressed except for a thin veil over her head? <br /><br />While criticizing ourselves for our hypocritical moral stand, let us not be fooled by Playboy's ploy; yoga can be understood even if the yogi is dressed in leotards!Balachandran Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174364716507089780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448802533825615490.post-34640506133740438902010-10-26T08:50:28.949+05:302010-10-26T08:50:28.949+05:30Its funny how the modern day "Hindu" for...Its funny how the modern day "Hindu" forces fight for a form of culture that has less to do with Indian traditions and merely a local adaptation of middle age western concepts of social morality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
