[magudi]

Did U find any similarities between Kalki Avatar and Apocalypse ?

Yup both are part of same infinite reality = Brahman

 

[Kashmiri Pandit]

Yup both are part of same infinite reality = Brahman

Nirgun or Para Brahman ( How to pronounce it , Brah/Maan or Brahm )

 

[911]

Ignore and insult back using cartoons. Simple.

 

[Styx]

I can see it already, suicide bombings in theatres screening this movie worldwide and people getting their heads chopped off for reading xmen comics

Western movies have been most unforgiving against Christianity.

See below:

Ironically it's the so called non Christian countries that banned movies like Da Vinci Code and The Life of Brian etc

that is what I was talking about, despite being non christian/muslim majority, the stuff that gets into huge trouble here is primarily christian/muslim stuff.

Also no paper dared to publish the charlie hebdo cartoons, and even apologized for printing a picture of people holding pictures of the cartoons, while they will shout themselves hoarse about freedom of speech when it comes to even simple protests which are well within peoples rights.

In Eastern philosophies, Good and Evil is not absolute, There are no clear cut black and white, Male and female forms unlike the monotheistic Abrahamic religions

THE concept of evil inside every good man, right?

 

[Grevion]

No one will find it offensive except for some far right bozos who don't even watch Hollywood movies.

Because we are more secular than even Christians and Muslim nations
And secularism comes into question when movies insult Hindu gods No commies in India supported the editor of Urdu daily, a women, when she published a part of Charlie Jesuis cartoon as a "news".

THE concept of evil inside every good man, right?

Exactly, Eastern Philosophies less rigid, gives individual freedoms of thought and less judgemental

Dolts making fuss won't make a difference. Last year it was PK that they were 'upset' with - the courts told them not to watch if they don't like it and move on.

I think court will say the same in the blasphemy case against kamlesh tiwari

Hindus are upset over comparison of blue-colored villain Apocalypse with their deity Lord Krishna in the recently released official trailer of "X-Men: Apocalypse" action-adventure Hollywood superhero movie releasing in May 2016.

Lord Krishna was meant to be worshipped in temples or home shrines and not for pushing movies for mercantile greed of filmmakers, Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, pointed out.
This trailer indicated Apocalypse saying: I have been called many things over many lifetimes—Ra, Krishna, Yahweh.

Rajan Zed urged director Bryan Singer to delete all the references to Lord Krishna from the trailer and the final movie, unless those were true to the scriptures. Inappropriate usage of Hindu deities or concepts for commercial or other agenda was not okay as it hurt the devotees and confused non-Hindus about Hinduism.

Hinduism was the oldest and third largest religion of theworldwith about one billion adherents and a rich philosophical thought and it should not be taken frivolously. Symbols of any faith, larger or smaller, should not be mishandled, Zed noted.

Rajan Zed further said that Hindus were for free artistic expression and speech as much as anybody else if not more. But faith was something sacred and attempts at trivializing it hurt the followers, Zed stated and added that insensitive handling of faith traditions sometimes resulted in pillaging serious spiritual doctrines and revered symbols.

Hindus welcomed Hollywood to immerse in Hinduism, but taking it seriously and respectfully and not for refashioning Hinduism concepts and symbols just to further its agenda. Hollywood was welcome to make movies about Lord Krishna or other Hindu deities but the final product should be true to the scriptures and not a fantasized or a re-imagined version, Zed indicated.

Rajan Zed suggested that Hollywood executives should be sent for training in religious and cultural sensitivity so that they had an understanding of the feelings of audiences and communities when creating new products. If makers of "X-Men: Apocalypse" or other Hollywood executives needed any expertise on Hinduism related issues, he or other Hindu scholars would gladly provide the resources, Zed added.

Lord Krishna, usually depicted as blue-skinned, is the eighth avatar (incarnation) of Lord Vishnu and subject of major Hindu scriptures such as theBhagavad-Gita(Song of the Lord) andBhagavad-Purana. There are about three million Hindus in USA and moksh (liberation) is the ultimate goal of Hinduism.

"X-Men: Apocalypse" of 20th Century Fox stars Golden Globes nominated James McAvoy, Oscar nominated Michael Fassbender and Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence. Its official website talks about Apocalypse as: Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god.

Nirgun or Para Brahman ( How to pronounce it , Brah/Maan or Brahm )

Even i don't know how it's pronounced
For advaitans its 'nirguna brahman' (devoid of any qualities) and for dvaitans para brahman is either 'mahadeva' or 'maha vishnu' depending on whether you are a shaivite or vaishnavite I suppose.

when was the last time india got that outraged by a holly-hood movie? Indiana jones ?

Fun fact, Most of that cast and extra's were Sri Lankans and was filmed in Sri Lanka
