BIGGEST HINDU TEMPLE IN DUBAI | PAKISTANI PUBLIC NOT HAPPY WITH THAT | PAK REACTION​

THis is the Hindu temple built in Dubai discussed here.

Effect of secular west have brought them secular sense and giving religious rights to all people who are coming there .very good gesture because muslims are getting full religious rights in secular countries .

 

[PradoTLC]

Fact.
In the mean while 100s of new mosques built around India every month.

so what?


doesnt change the fact hindu intolerance is rising every day.

I have zero problems with people worshiping whomever or whatever they like, The ALMIGHTY GOD did not give me permission to judge others, Religion is a personal affair, people should be free to build places of worship anywhere in the world including Pakistan, But my problem is these are the same Arabs that sponsor extremist madrassahs in Pakistan and preach hatred. Instead of questioning What Arabs are doing in their own country, We as Pakistani should be questioning what are they doing in our country.

Facts 💯, but who allowed it to happen?... 😉

It's horrendous,, allowing idol worship, idols and temples on the Arabian peninsula

At the same time the Hindus are attacking and oppressing Indian Muslims, allowing a idol worshipping temple is intolerable


We must up our efforts to use what's happening in India and hindutva to target Hindus everywhere, in the west, in places like Malaysia, Indonesia and the GCC,, oppression of Indian Muslims must not be allowed without response

What is so sacred about the Arabian peninsula ?

 

[lastofthepatriots]

These gulfie Arabs are idol worshippers too so it comes as no surprise.


They worship all those shiny skyscrapers they have constructed from the blood, sweat, and tears of Pakistani laborers in that dust bowl they call home.

I remember when this was a defence forum once.

Popularity of PA is at an all time low so what do you expect?

I have a genuine question to hindu members. What is the thought process behind building new temples. I understand that you think ayodhya needs a temple because it's the birthplace of Ram i.e. historical and religious significance. What's the rationale behind building new temples especially overseas. I understand you need places to worship but is congregation a big part of it. What determines what god the temple will be dedicated to, Which god will be worshiped. I see some hindus always talking about Ram, some are always talking about Shiva. Is this personal preference of different schools of thought?

If you are wondering about muslims, we don't have to have a reason to build a mosque or dedicate it to anyone. We do name it after notable figures but it doesn't matter who. The sole reason is to have a place to congregate as that's a big thing in Islam. But, there is nothing like "we dedicate this to someone so and so and this will bring blessing upon the community". Again, idk if that's the thought process behind it. So this is a genuine question.

@Paitoo , sir?

Big temples of the sort you see outside India are built mainly by 2 organizations - ISKCON and Swaminarayan Trust. The latter is a Gujarat based organization and has more Dharmic leanings than Hindu leanings. Their temples are not dedicated to Hindu gods as such. However majority of the visitors are Hindus, though I have seen Sikhs and Buddhists also visiting. Due to their Gujarati origins it is possible that overseas Gujarati Hindus throng the temples abroad. Since Gujaratis are also a wealthy community, they are able to partly fund construction of these temples too.

ISKCON is dedicated to Krishna and is heavily oriented towards spirituality than ritual or theology, hence the large number of gora or hippie type followers too. Their origins lie in Bengal, though I won't call them influenced by the Bengali way of life. ISKCON has a very popular temple in Mumbai, which is also thronged by Gujaratis, and this is another reason why you will find ISKCON temples wherever Gujarati disapora is large.

The recent growth in Hindu temples in Middle East is driven mainly by Modi's diplomacy in the gulf states. Modi himself is a Gujarati and quite endeared with both the above organizations, who also have the finances to build large temples, so it is natural that more ISKCON and Swaminarayan temples get built abroad.

Hindus do require places to congregate, but the motives are different. Location is important for Hindus, more than the structure. Hindu practices are intertwined with ethnic history and there is always a holy place or sanctum for most families where their ancestors worshipped or some important event is supposed to have taken place.

While steadfast Hindus may identify as Vishnu, Shiva, Kali, Durga worshippers etc, they are never choosy about visiting a temple. If the only temple available in the vicinity is a Shiva temple, a Vishnu worshipper will visit it. The boundaries are not at all sacred in that sense. An overwhelming majority of Hindus do not explicitly identify as worshipper of one deity over the other.

Finally, who determines the temple will be dedicated to which God? Simple, the people who are funding it. A Tamil community may dedicate it to Murugan, Malayalis to Ayappa, Bengalis to Durga and so on.

My brother lived inUAE and the dreadful heat / humidity is not even something he can explain to those who haven’t experienced it. He said south Asian workers situation is appalling, they are considered no more than slaves and animals . In the eyes of the govt these wretched folks are not even considered to be human so they are literally expendable, look at the Qatari is doing to you Asians to build their World Cup football stadium s ! I hope you won’t be watching the World Cup …..

Well i don't know about Pakistan but North India gets heated up just as much as Qatar/Dubai etc during summer. I went to Delhi this May and average high for at least 15 days was above 46 until the pre monsoon showers showed up in mid May. The only difference is that there are all sorts of trees and tropical plants to provide shade and all and summers are shorter lived than Dubai/Qatar etc(average high during monsoon drops to low -mid 30s in North India and mid to high 20s in Southern India). I'll tell you i've been to Dubai in summer and Delhi in summer, i would say Dubai was more comfortable due to ACs all around. Workers outside won't have that luxury of course, but they would probably have ACs in their camps, unlike India, I would say an outside worker in middle east is better of than an outside worker in India. However, India's excuse is that its poor, UAE/middle east has no such excuse and should be providing much higher standards of living for these workers. A daily laborer in high income countries like Canada has almost the same standard of living as any other guy.

Thank you. Very comprehensive.

Yes, I assumed the location holds a lot of significance.

The recent growth in Hindu temples in Middle East is driven mainly by Modi's diplomacy in the gulf states.

Since, the historical significance of the location is not really a factor when building temples overseas i.e the gulf, I guess it's overwhelmingly motivated by soft power goals i.e making the hindu diaspora a more prominent part of the host country.

that is because the molvis lied.
never was it commanded to cleanse the arabian peninsula.
It was commanded to cleanse the house of God only.

Soft power could be a factor, but end of the day people do need a feeling of community and for myriad ethnicities among Indians, the common factor is religion so temple serves as that community meeting point, much like with people of any other faith. The Indian diaspora has really grown in the Middle East over the decades and the gulf rulers are increasingly accepting of other religions places of worship, mainly in their bid to diversify and be more in tune with the changing realities.

A temple will motivate Hindus to stay in Dubai as they retire and instead of migrating back to India with their wealth.

I was quite surprised UAE would allow such temple
