"Hare Krishnas don't find 'The Love Guru' offensive"

Posted On: Tue, 2008-07-01 02:09 by sitapati

The North American ISKCON Communications press release is getting some mileage in the Indian / Hindu press:

On June 20, Mike Myers' The Love Guru hit theaters, amidst controversy that the film is offensive in its depiction of Hindu themes. In a notable departure from other Hindu organizations, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), popularly known as the Hare Krishna movement, released a statement rejecting calls to protest the movie, and encouraging others to view the film with tolerance and a sense of humor.

ISKCON represents Vaishnavism, often considered the largest denomination within Hinduism. The movement claims a significant number of non-Indian devotees.
