Celebrating the Govardhan Puja Food Festival with Kiran Deol: Soul Food

FBTwitterReddit

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Kiran, who was raised Sikh, steps slightly out of her comfort zone and finds herself surrounded by Hindus, Hare Krishnas, and mountains of blessed homemade vegetarian Indian food at two concurrent Krishna celebrations in Los Angeles. First off, she visits the Shri Nand Shiv Durga Mandir Hindu temple in Montebello, CA, celebrating Govardhan Puja, a food-centric festival feast consisting of 56 dishes in honor of the god Krishna. Next, she-s off to another festival at the Hare Krishna Cultural Center in Culver City featuring a literal hill of food. Kiran learns that Krishna-s spit really packs on the pounds, but who-s counting when the food is so delicious?

This is just such a bad representation of Indian culture and religion. Hinduism isn't a religion like Judaism etc. Hare Krishna is a movement that is a part of Vaishanvism aka a branch of -Hinduism-. Hinduism can be atheist, theist, or agnostic. Hinduism includes ritualism, skepticism etc. Hinduism is just a modern name to a diverse set of Indian philosophies and traditions etc. Hindu was used by Persians to refer to Indians. Hindu was later used during the Islamic invasion of India by Moslems to distinguish between Pagan Indians and Moslems, some of whom were also Moslem. After India's colonization, the British defined Hinduism as anything that is native to India but isn't Buddhism, Sikhism, or Jainism. Why, well it's called divide and conquer. This host's explanation was pathetic, and her conduct was blatantly rude and condescending.

I love this, Kiran. I'm one of those people who love to learn. May not remember all I learn but I try. Learning is great. You can't become a better person if you don't take the time to learn about what's going on around you. This is a great planet we live on. You stay in your own little world you don't learn. Can't grow that way. We all have things in common and differences as well. No matter what we believe, how we act and do things, etc. we can do things together if we give each other a chance. Enough darkness in the world not to spread laughter and joy amongst others now and then. Have a great day. I may ramble and go off topic but at least I hope you get some of what I tried to say.

1. Poor choice of host, disrespectful and sarcastic. She was invited in with open arms and should have reciprocal in behavior -2. Hare Krishna comes under the fold of Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) and is part of Vaishnavism tradition. Why is the host stating these are two different religions, strange -3. Good coverage and episode except for host-4. Many wrong comments below stating the food is wasted as it's offers to the idol, the food is consumed by the devotees any additional food is given free to the poor and needy, this holds true for both Here Krishna and more traditional Hindu temples.

Anyways what more can u expect from a sikh host who support khalistan and is always on a. lookout to deface anything about i dia or relating to it be it the religion from which even they once originated. KUDOS MUNCHIES u have earned more respect in your effort on researching about this religion by appointing an equally idiot host. anyways have already reported this video as misleading and urge my fellow india s to report it as MISLEADING ONLY no hard feelings.

From India: - Strong WARNING to Munchies who just tried to separate ISCON from Hinduism. we Hindus believe in multiple forms of god. Hinduism itself is collection of 100 Religions and ideologies. I am born Hindu, I pilgrimage to Amritsar(mecca of Sikh) Mathura(Krishna birth place, Kashi(Shiva resting place. Hindus are Egalitarians/Pluralitarian's please don't divide us. Change the anchor or change her interpretation. ISCON is not separate from Hinduism.

Had I been over there. I wud have given 2 tight slaps on this so called journalist's ugly face. When she did not want to pay any respect to hinduism. why did she even went over there? May be her myth is burst tht only Sikhs can feed others. btw this food is 100 times better thn paani wali daal n kheer of golden temple. Somebody shud tell her tht.

00: 40 No Two Different Faith ------Leftist and Mentally Illiterate have one common Target that is to DIVIDE HINDU. ISKON is a movement under the umbrella of Sanatana Dharma( or Hinduism. not two different faith. By her name, the anchor of the show seems to be a Hindu. but. She herself has no idea about her own religion. Shameful and Shameless!

why is everyone complaining about the host she seems alright to me just a bit ignorant or unaware of the customs and traditions so she's asking silly questions, its part of the interview i suppose so that the viwers of the video who r from different cultures may understand nit piky things withut confusion
reply

is she khalistani. Guru nanak who started sikhism was hindu, most of their gurus were hindu. In india dia during muslim atrocities during their rule; Hindu families raised their one son sikh and the other Hindu. There are so many families with half of them hindu, half sikhs. There are so many Hindu deols.

This video is interesting, and I commend Kiran's effort. But she isn't very knowledgeable about Hindu culture. My guess is that she comes from a Sikh Punjabi background. This is what I admire about the host, Gelareh Kaizand of the Iran episode of Munchies. She is culturally aware of all things Iran.
