ISKCON Gita is distorted

There must be over a thousand translations of Bhagwad Gita. Each one is biased in some way. But Gita by ISKCON is pretty distorted in interpretation. It not only suggests that God is strictly male, it also mixes up Hindu mythology to confuse ordinary people like me. It just serves followers of Lord Vishnu and declares everyone else is a demi god. That includes Lord Shiva, and Mother Kali as well.


I have read few versions of Gita to understand the ways of God, assuming God is one and addressed by different names. But the ISKCON Gita by Prabhupada is misleading and deliberately confusing. As I have asked before too, who named God?
The polytheism in Hindutva is just to allow you to choose and pray to a form of God that you like most. The images and idols in Hinduism are symbolic. But according to ISKCON, if you are praying to any form of God other than Krsna (Krishna), you are not praying to God.
I don't think I can accept it as it is. It's highly biased and makes me assume ISKC…

Islam needs reforms urgently: Why are governments ignoring it?

Their holy book says kill people to attain heaven? What kind of cult is that? Do they really believe they'll reach heaven by killing innocent who do believe in God but with a different name?

My question is, why are world leaders turning blind over Islamic terrorism? What kind of cult propagates killing people? Is that really a religion? Why not ban Islam until it is reformed? No. Islam has no scope for reforms. It can only get worse. There was Islam as a nice religion in beginning but it's "caretakers" have now brainwashed the followers.

I get to meet some real Islamists who tell me about the finer aspects of Koran. It makes sense. Then I wonder about the verses that call for eliminating the Infidels. Who is infidel? Almost everyone has faith in God. They just address Him with a different name. How's that infidelity? Islam has to reform. But I don't think the power holders will allow it as they will lose power over masses.

I've never visited the old city in Hyderabad. Heard they've got bells banned in Bhagyalaxmi temple because it hurts their faith? What faith is it if shaken just by bell sounds?

Why did they not leave India during partition? Did Gandhi really say let them rape & kill Hindus? Why didn't Nehru secure boundaries? Why could Indira Gandhi not get back Pakistan Occupied Kashmir when she had the advantage in 1971?

What makes the Indian government settle illegal immigrants in Jammu & Hyderabad? Don't they know this cult is dangerous? What will government do if tomorrow, Hyderabad and West Bengal break away from India? Already, this government cannot act against political killings in Kerala! What on earth are the politicians aiming?

I guarantee Sheikh Hasina will not see another term in Bangladesh because for extreme Islamists, women are not meant to rule. If things continue same way, Mamata Banerjee will also lose Bengal to Muslim powers in a year or two. Why isn't the government acting? Just for few votes?

Best app for Android phones - Clean Master from Cheetah Mobile

After five years of testing different multipurpose apps for Android maintenance, I realize Clean Master from Cheetah Mobile is the best maintenance app for Android phones. Not only maintenance, Clean Master offers you much more than you can expect from a single app.

For a while, it felt the "All in One for Android" is good. But turned out it leaves out add-ins even after you remove it. What is available in single code in Clean Master of Cheetah Mobile, is available as add-ins in All in One app for Android. When you uninstall All in One app, the add-ins continue to run in RAM. I could not find any method to remove them as they were not visible in any App Managers. I had to do a factory reset and that was when my doubts were removed and I acknowledged Clean Master of Cheetah Mobile is the best option for Android phones.

Analysis of Mahabharata Characters - Bhishma

Bhishma is one of the powerful characters of the epic, Mahabharata that contains and shows a pious way of life to the mortals living on earth. I am starting this Analysis of Mahabharata Characters with Bhishma as he is the oldest character in the epic/saga and has tremendous influence on the other characters of Mahabharata. Bhishma was the son of king Shantanu and Ganga (the river Ganges in female form). Bhishma was considered one of the eight Vasus (rishis) who had to take birth on earth due to a curse. Before we analyze the character, let us take a quick look at the story of Bhishma according to the Mahabharata.
Background Of Bhishma Bhismha is considered one of the eight Vasus who stole a cow named Kamadhenu from a sage. When the sage cursed them to take birth as humans, all Vasus asked for his forgiveness. The sage, for seven Vasus who helped the main Vasu to steal the cow, reduced the curse to death just after birth. However, the main Vasu who actually stole the cow was to stay …

Significance or Meaning of Swaha and Ithi in Sanskrit Mantras

You might have noticed that all mantras begin with the sound of "OM". What you might have ignored or failed to notice that mantras in Sanskrit end with "ithi" or "swaha". Some of you end mantras with just a "namah".

Not to scare you, but if you fail to use "ithi" at end of each mantra or at the very end of any stotra (hymn), the mantra & related offering (sacrifice or prasadam) doesn't reach the god being prayed.

The word "ithi" marks the end of mantra, and urges gods to accept whatever you are offering.

The word "swaha" is used more in havans (rituals were you put offerings/prasad directly into fire). Since people put offerings into fire while saying "swaha", many of us associate it with "destruction". When anyone says "sab kuch swaha ho gaya (everything became swaha)", it does and should not be concluded that he or she lost things. It is a wrong notion that associates "sw…
