Since their inception the Abrahamic religions have been obsessed with genitals — so much so that Jehovah commanded that his sign should be on every man’s penis through circumcision. Original sin entered the world through the genitals of Adam and Eve. Now we have idiots like Baba Ramdev  and the BJP getting wound-up and  fussing over other people’s genitals!  Spending enormous amounts of money and energy fighting to curb the rights of LGBT people to live and love in peace and safety.

Strangely enough the BJP and Ramdev  have joined cause with Muslims and Christian — both groups have an inveterate hatred of Hindus and see all Hindus as the fuel for their respective eternal hell-fires! Hindus joining causes with Muslims and Christians is like Jews joining cause with the Nazis!

The highest form of Dharma is AHIMSA – non-violence in word, deed or thought. Dharma is about spiritual evolution and self-unfoldment. It’s about personal self-transformation in the cultivation of compassion and development of Self-knowledge.

adrohaḥ sarvabhūteṣu karmaṇā manasā girā |
anugrahaśca dānaṃ ca stāṃ dharma sanātanaḥ ||

The Eternal Duty (Sanātana Dharma) towards all creatures is the absence of malevolence towards them in thought, deed or word, and to practice compassion and charity towards them. (MB Vana Parva 297;35)

Dharma is not about investigating, discovering or controlling other people’s genitals!

There are so many social evils in India like the pervasive culture of abuse of women and rape, rampant child trafficking – child-prostitution, corruption is destroying the country, Islamic extremism is on the rise, Christian missionaries are converting people by the thousands, industrial pollution, environmental degradation, cruelty to animals and on and on the list goes! But what exercises the minds of the “religious” more than anything else?  What other people are doing with their genitals in their bedrooms !!

The squint-eyed charlatan Ramdev now has the dubious reputation of being the world’s greatest “Yoga guru!”  If this be the case then he is the greatest fraud out and a disgrace to the Yoga community! He is out there proclaiming to the world that homosexuality is a sin, he detests gays and can cure homosexuality through yoga and pranayama! A sanyasi filing petitions against the  decriminalization of homosexuality! And making himself a caricature and disgracing the Noble Dharma in the sight of the civilised world! 

The great sage Patanjali the father of Yoga says:--

1:33   The cultivation of friendliness (maitri), compassion (karuna), empathetic joy (mudita), and equanimity to all beings (upeksha) —  be they  happy, sorrowful, meritorious or de-meritorious  (bring about) the pacification of  the mind.

These are known as the Four Immeasurables because of the immeasurable benefit they bring to all beings. They are also know as the bheshaja catusthaya — the four great medicines which alleviate the suffering of samsara.

The third is “empathetic joy” – rejoicing in the happiness of others and never doing anything to obstruct that happiness. Equanimity is seeing all with an equal compassionate vision.

Krishna himself has said that the highest ethical goal of the spiritual aspirants is Lokasangraha — the welfare of the entire world.

Instead of trying to impede and destroy the  happiness of gay people perhaps the Right-wing Hindu fanatics and Ramdev should be working for the benefit of all sentient beings and  be spreading the message of loving kindness, compassion and unconditional acceptance. 

Instead of targeting socially productive gay people with such venom and hatred perhaps the baba and his BJP cronies should be focussing all their charisma and resources on attacking rapists, chauvinists, child-traffickers, pimps, drug-dealers, mafia, corrupt officials and politicians, crafty landlords, money-lenders and all the other riff-raff that are truly infecting Indian society. How are people  loving and copulating with members of their own gender having a deleterious  effect on society? As

Why are the Buddhists the only major religious community not to get caught up in genital hysteria and condemnation of others? 

Indian elites are still groveling  Christian slaves!!

Once again the modern western educated Indian elite (the Indian Supreme Court) have demonstrated craven  slavishness to their erstwhile British masters! Struggling to be even more “British” than the Victorians!! Even Rajnath Singh president of the BJP has proven himself to be the peon of the Christian-Muslim lobby and another cardboard Christoid puritan!

When will the Hindus finally be liberated from this contemptible slavish mentality imposed by Imperialist Christians and step into the light of history in their own glory and pride? When will Hindus finally claim their own Dharma recognizing it to be superior to anything else?

Why are these Uncle Toms claiming and clinging to an archaic law based on the Bible and forced upon them by their erstwhile masters who have long since abandoned this law and moved on in justice and compassion and acceptance?

Indian Penal Code (1860), Section 377, ‘Unnatural Sex’

377. Unnatural offences — Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal, shall be punished with 1 [imprisonment for life], or with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine. Explanation —  Penetration is sufficient to constitute the carnal intercourse necessary to the offence described in this section.

According to Section 377 of the IPC, oral and anal sex is illegal, and you could receive a life sentence for indulging in an ‘unnatural sexual practice’.  This explains why Indians go abroad on holiday so often, and also why many Goans are resentful, since it was OK for them till 1962. Sex with animals also comes under the purview of this section, so getting fresh with pets is inadvisable.

At the time this law was formulated, in 1860, a different queen was in charge of India. Her name was Victoria. She frowned deeply on sex, as a result of which the maximum penalty for an ‘unnatural sexual practice’ was fixed at life imprisonment. She had pushed for the death penalty, but she was convinced otherwise by her husband, Albert, who was very soft-hearted. In contrast, the maximum imprisonment for causing the death of a human being was two years, proving once more that love is much more powerful than death.

In fact, this richly detailed law makes most forms of sexual activity illegal. Consequently, we would strongly advise that you stick to the missionary position, which is a natural sexual practice, endorsed by missionaries.

Most of the Dharma Shastras neglect to even pronounce on the subject of “unnatural” sex which means it was totally insignificant and irrelevant to them. Manu does mention the topic and prescribes a penance.

Manava Dharma Shastra on ‘Unnatural Sex’

amānuṣīṣū puruṣa udakyāyām ayoniṣu |
retaḥ siktvā jale ca-eva kṛcchraṁ sāntapanaṁ caret || 

11:173. A man who has sex with a non-human being (animal, blow-up doll, mechanical toy, vegetable etc.), or non-vaginal sex with a female, or has intercourse in water, or with a menstruating woman, shall perform a penance called Santapana Krcchra.

Commentary — Please note that in terms of social value, “unnatural intercourse is the equivalent of having sex with a menstruating woman!  The problem here is not one of morality but rather “purity!”

This penance is undertaken either voluntarily because of guilt or because one was found out and is being shunned by the community as being impure. It is a means of reinstatement of social standing and purification. It is defined by the  Yajñavalkya Smriti — “O Brahmins, the Pancagavya consists of cow's milk, ghee, curd, urine and dung. The expiator should swallow these and fast for the next day. This is called Santapana Krcchra.”

Now I ask you to compare this mild form of social reinstatement with life-imprisonment!!  The Georgian British laws of the 1770’s were some of the most evil in the history of humanity. Property was sacrosanct to the Georgians and had to be protected at all costs. A man could be hanged for stealing a chicken, but until 1803 attempted murder was classed only as a ‘misdemeanour’. ‘Stealing an heiress’ meant death because an heiress was property incarnate, but stealing a child was not even a criminal offense. In the “Bloody Code” there were 222 crimes for which the punishment was death. Hanging was prescribed for any theft above the value of 40 shillings.

By the 1800’s the death sentence was commuted to transportation to a penal colony (Australia)  for life. Compared to the Georgian and Victorian Laws the Code of Manu is a akin to a charter of human rights!

And surprisingly the BJP which is campaigning for ‘Hindutva’ deliriously imagines that some freaky Christian laws of the 1860 are somehow illustrative of Hindu values!   The challenge and subsequent reinstatement of this evil law was supported by a coalition of Christian/Muslim lobby groups and apparently taciturnly endorsed by the BJP (Whom the Christians and Muslims are convinced are all fuel for the eternal fires of hell!!!).

The attitude of our Acharyas to ‘Unnatural Sex’

On all the temples we find sculptures of “unnatural” sex. Even in Srirangam there is a statue of a woman being pleasured by a dog. Ramanuja Acharya and all the other acharyas of the Srivaishnavas saw these sculptures on a daily basis yet not one of them mentioned the sculptures nor demanded their destruction or effacement — let alone prescribe life-imprisonment for perpetrators. Why? Because they were there for amusement and nobody could care less!! They were totally indifferent to them! So why are the custodians of Hindutva the BJP so concerned? Why don’t they just shut their mouths and allow the Christian and Muslims of India  to become the brunt of the western world’s disgust and  anger at the infringement of human rights?

And this is all happening in a country where a woman is raped every 20 minutes, child prostitution is rife, bonded labour is still practiced and corruption is out of control. Surely there are more important social reformations  to focus on than what the private citizens are doing with their genitals  in their bedrooms? 

Wake up Hindus! Stop being Christian/Muslim puppets and Uncle Toms, regain your “purushatvam”  and return to the Sanatana Dharma and stand proud of being the inheritors of a brilliant culture and tradition spanning over 5000 !!

Sanatana Dharma ki jai!
