Metamorphosis of Gaṇeśas: From the Catastrophe Incarnate to the Bestower of Success?

Posted on 21st September, 2024 (GMT 17:30 hrs)

ABSTRACT

The sarcastic as well as satirical paper-letter is an in-depth examination of the evolution of Lord Gaṇeśa in Hindu traditions, addressing the contradictions between ancient texts and contemporary worship practices. The authors write to the President of India, calling for the cessation of Gaṇeśa worship, arguing that it contradicts the Sanātana Dharma. The paper traces Gaṇeśa’s transformation from an anti-god symbolizing obstacles and calamities to a revered deity associated with success. It critically analyzes historical, mythological, and socio-political shifts that contributed to this metamorphosis. The letter questions the legitimacy of modern Gaṇeśa worship, linking it to political and ideological agendas within India’s current political landscape. Ultimately, it proposes halting this idol worship to align religious practices with the ancient Sanātana codes. The authors intentionally mask themselves as “Hindutvavadins” in order to expose the violent religious extremism of the Saffron Fascist forces and the utter fruitlessness of their agenda.

Posted on 3rd May, 2025 (GMT 21:20 hrs) ABSTRACT The article critically examines the philanthropic image of Ajay Piramal, chairman of the Piramal Group. While reflecting on his supposedly projected contributions through the Piramal Foundation in areas like healthcare, education, and clean water initiatives, the article raises concerns about alleged financial misconduct and environmental extortion issues associated with his business practices over the years that seem to posit a crony collusion. It questions whether his philanthropic endeavours serve as a genuine commitment to social welfare or as a means to obscure less ethical corporate activities. The piece encourages readers to scrutinize the alignment between Piramal’s professed values and his business operations, suggesting a need for greater genunity in viewing a philanthro-capitalist! I.
