Protest : Blog showing Shrikrushna and Arjun drinking coke

On October 18, 2014, alert Hindus notified Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) regarding a blog which has a picture of Shrikrushna and Arjun having a coke. This is a blatant denigration of Shrikrushna Who is revered by millions of Hindus throughout the world. Also, showing Arjun, a revered figure from the Hindu Holy epic of Mahabharata drinking coke, trivializes him as well as the Holy epic.

HJS posted a response on the blog site requesting them to remove the offending picture immediately. However till date the picture remains on the website and the HJS post has been removed.

HJS appeals devout Hindus to protest against this misrepresentation and denigration of Lord Shrikrushna on the blog website given ahead

Protest against the picture of Shrikrishna and Arjun drinking coke
Namaste,
We at Hindu Janajagruti Samiti have received complaints from Hindus regarding a picture on your blog –
http://ithacamyth.wordpress.com/2011/11/17/krishna-and-arjuna-have-a-coke-and-a-smile/
where you have shown Lord Krishna and Arjun drinking coke instead of blowing a conch.
Hindu Janajagruti Samiti is a registered NGO in India doing social, Hindu Dharma related and national welfare work. The Samiti is also active throughout the world, educating people about Hindu Dharma in a scientific way, campaigning against malpractices done as Hindu Dharma related practices and solving problems related to misrepresentation of Hindu Dharma. For further details please refer to our website www.HinduJagruti.org.
We are sending this letter to you to inform you about the blatant denigration of Lord Krishna through the picture on your blog. Lord Krishna is highly revered Deity Who is worshipped by millions of Hindus. This depiction of Lord Krishna drinking coke is a denigration of Hinduism and it hurts the sentiments of Hindus. As per Hinduism, Deities are eternal principles of God that carry out different functions in the universe. Every principle is associated with its specific sound, word, touch, form, taste, smell and energy. To depict a Deity in a form through a picture or idol, there are very specific rules to be followed as per Holy Hindu scriptures. Not conforming to which leads to denigration and loss of Divine Consciousness from the picture, leading to a grave sin. Similarly, showing Arjun, a revered figure from the Hindu Holy epic of Mahabharata, drinking coke trivializes him and the Holy epic. So we request you to remove this image from your website immediately.
We protest the denigration caused by this image and hope that you will remove it immediately from your website to prevent further hurting the sentiments of Hindus throughout the world.
Sincerely,
Hindu Janajagruti Samiti.
