"you are not a devoted hindu, you would want to steal that beautiful "Jyotirlingam" and the jewely housed within the temple, because we have been raised to fear the ghastly anger of Shiva and fear of coming back to Martyamandal to suffer again, which doesn't apply to people of other faith." -sujanks sujan fine, my friend who is fair skinned knows the fundamentals of hunudism and does not want to steal jotirlingam and does fear the ghastly anger of shiva and the fear of coming back to martyamandal to suffer again, how is she to prove that she does ? "which does not apply to others" in tangent of the view presented above, I think that to think that hinduism excludes some while "hugging" others is not hinduism itself because the essence of hindusim is the unity of everything.. ~4.06 am still TIPSY and staying TIPSY (not drunk!) puchi :)
