Anil Kapoor, Padmani Kolhapure, Anu Malik, Usha Nadkarni, Rakhi Tandon etc. have danced in this song. (‘What should be the form of Shri Ganesh?’ is prescribed in the scriptures. Therefore, having an Idol of the Deity as prescribed in the scriptures for worship is more spiritually beneficial. On the other hand, to create the form of the Deity in an unscriptural manner in the name of innovation, is an insult to the principle of that Deity ! – Editor)

Editorial Perspectives

• Hindus do not realise that by humanising the Deities for the sake of enlightenment, the Deities are desecrated because of lack of education on Dharma.

• Do you ever see other religious artists denigrating their places of worship ? But Hindu artists do this for money.

The intention underlying display of the above images is not to hurt religious sentiments of Hindus, but make them comprehend the denigration – Editor
