Protest against M.F. Husain’s abuse of Hindu Deities
Sanatan Sanstha has recently come across a book ‘Anti – Hindus’ written by Prafull Goradia and K.R. Phanda that has been published in 2003 by Contemporary Targett Prafull Private Limited, New Delhi. This book mentions an internationally renowned painter, M. F. Husain’s book containing paintings that denigrate Hindu deities. Husain: Drawing, painting, water colour, graphic, sculpture, architecture, photography, tapestry By Daniel Alan Herwitz CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY FOREWORD Russi Mody From its cover, the book by Daniel Alan Herwitz looks like a regular art book. The book has prints of paintings chosen by the painter himself. It has a commentary text written by Dr Daniel Herwitz of California State University and a preface by Russi Mody, the then chairman of Tata Steel, a major public sector company in India. However, the book itself contains blasphemous pictures of Hindu deities shown in the nude in various compromising positions that would hurt the sentiment of not only Hindus, but also of every seeker of God following any faith. The nudity involves Hindu deities like Lord Hanuman, Goddess Durga and Goddess Sita. We have a description of some of these paintings. (1)Naked Lord Hanuman and Goddess Sita This picture shows a naked Lord Hanuman attacking a naked demon king Ravana while Goddess Sita is sitting naked on Lord Ravana’s thigh. Goddess Sita is the epitome of chastity and is role model for women the world over. (2)Naked Goddess Sita sitting on the tail of Naked Lord Hanuman According to the Indian History, Goddess Sita or Lord Hanuman has never been shown in the Naked form. Goddess Sita has never been rescued by Lord Hanuman. Over here Husain is interfering with the cultural principles. Not only this, he is trying to devise new imaginative indecent pictures of the manifest forms of God who are respected by millions of Hindus. Showing the use of the tail of Lord Hanuman for such an act has crossed all the limitations of indecency. (3) Lord Hanuman is portrayed naked and with His genitals pointing towards a woman (4) A bull having sexual intercourse with Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva watching on the auspicious day of Shivratri Lord Shiva is the Principle of Absolute Knowledge and the principle of Destruction in the Universe. (5)Goddess Durga in the nude having sexual intercourse with a tiger (6)Goddess Lakshmi naked on Lord Ganesh’s head According to the Science of Spirituality Goddess Lakshmi is the Goddess of Wealth while Lord Ganesh represents that function of God that translates our prayers from the language of sound that humans speak in to the language of light that deities converse in and vice versa. (7) Goddess Saraswati Who is the Goddess of knowledge playing a veena (a type of Indian musical instrument) (8)It seems only Hindu deities get the nude treatment So what do we do with a painter who has utter disregard for the sentiments of others? What do we do with a painter who paints Goddess Durga, Goddess Sita, Goddess Saraswati, Goddess Laxmi in the nude while he paints his own step mother Shirin, prophet Mohammad’s daughter Fatima and his own daughter covered with garments all over? Examples of disgusting paintings Apart from producing blasphemous artwork, M.F. Husain seems to have little regard for basic human norms of decency. In this picture he shows a horse having sex with a woman. And in this he shows an elephant having sex with a woman If we are to call ourselves civilised and we witness such obscene acts it is our duty not to turn our face away just because it does not pertain to our faith. Painters such as M.F. Husain are a hazard to society and need to be dealt with sternly.

Petition http://www.sanatan.org/en/05/Protests/MFHusain/petition.php We call upon all to: Socially ostracise M. F. Husain, Boycott his painting exhibitions, Not purchase or hang his works, and Get all his paintings removed from their offices and galleries where they are on display. In the course of the campaign, Hindus worldwide have demanded the following from the Government of India : That the government confiscate the fortune amassed by M. F. Husain through the sale of denigrating paintings of Hindu deities. M. F. Husain be promptly arrested and severely punished for the crime of drawing pictures of Hindu Deities in a manner that has hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus. The Government, which has shown sensitivity to the religious sentiments of Muslims by promptly banning the books written by Salman Rushdie and Tasleema Nasreen, similarly ban M. F. Husain’s paintings and his book ‘Husain’ containing many of these paintings. Also, stocking or exhibiting these paintings be declared a crime. Accordingly, the Government collect all copies of these paintings and destroy them. Legal action be taken against the publishers and websites that have published M. F. Husain’s paintings. M. F. Husain be stripped of decorations such as the ‘Padmashree’, ‘Padmabhushan’ and ‘Padmavibhushan’accorded by the Government. The privileges that M. F. Husain is enjoying due to his former membership of the RajyaSabha (a part of the Indian Parliament) be taken away. The (respectful) mention of M. F. Husain in public (Government) school textbooks be omitted. There be a legal ban on all newspapers, TV channels and other media that show such blasphemous artists (like M. F. Husain) in a positive light. Such blasphemous artists be ostracized. There be a legal ban on exhibition, sale, or purchase of art that is contrary to the Scriptures (Spiritual Science) or denigrating of Deities / Holy symbols. There be a legal ban on using Deities or Holy symbols for commercial, artistic or recreational purposes. http://www.sanatan.org/en/05/Protests/MFHusain/petition.php Please forward this link on to all your friends and acquaintances to make them aware of the rogue painter.

(Click on this email id to send the email.) If your response is deemed inspiring, is it okay to publish it with your last name and country on this website and in our newspapers? The ultimate aim of man is to achieve supreme and everlasting happiness (Bliss). He achieves this through observing Righteousness both for the sake of his individual progress and that of society, of which he is a part and parcel. “Righteousness (Dharma) is that which accomplishes the three tasks of: Keeping the social system in an excellent condition, Bringing about the worldly progress of every living being and Causing progress in the spiritual realm as well.” - Shri Shankaracharya. That is why the Sanatan Sanstha’s key mission is the establishment of Righteousness in society. By his act M F Husain has violated the very fabric of Righteousness in our society and made us poorer for it. http://www.sanatan.org/en/05/Protests/MFHusain/petition.php
