Ruckus over Jesus near Hanuman
Â
Warangal, July 1: Framed pictures of Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary in the Thousand Pillars Temple complex at Hanamkonda shocked hundreds of devotees here on Saturday morning. The picture of Christ was found right under the banyan tree near the famous Hanuman idol where prayers are offered on Tuesdays and Saturdays. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
In addition to the agitation and protest, the VHP, BJP, other hindu organizations and activists should make a counter-attack, by placing/painting hindu symbols, mantras, slokas, and deities on the church walls and inside the church premises! The good time to do this would be on a saturday night, so that the church-goers who come in for the sunday mass can have their first, good darshan of hindu gods and scriptures before they go in for their mindless weekly exercise of reading out of a fiction they call the bible. For example, the Luz church and the santhome church in chennai both offer large wall spaces to accomodate nice good-sized murals with hindu themes.
