This time Kolkata's Puja comm. is coming up with a theme- 'Mayer Haate Mayer Abahon,' appointing women priest. This again is an attempt to dilute the traditional Puja & is full of anti-Hindu propaganda. I request BH women to oppose this tooth & nail so that things change.

Note: We don't have any problem with females doing Puja (🙄), provided they have adhikara, have got diksha from Guru and the puja is done traditionally. But, this theme in garb of feminism and equality, is anti Hindu from head to toe. I'll explain why..++
++ The 4 women who will be performing the puja- (Nandini Bhowmik, Ruma Roy, Semanti Banerjee and Paulomi Chakraborty) are part of a group "Shubhamastu" & the head of the group is Nandini Bhowmik, a 59 years old Sanskrit Professor at Jadavpur University. ++
++ This group performs several rituals for over a decade. Bhowmik has conducted rituals for as many as 40 marriages over ten years and has been conducting these rituals as per Shubhamastu which IS NOT ACCORDING TO THE TRADITIONAL NORMS. ++ -
++ Shubhamastu DOESN'T FOLLOW KANYADAAN, LOJJA BOSTRO, PIRI GHORANO, CHAAL CHORANO ( all the rituals that are part of traditional Bengali wedding). ++
++ In Shubhamastu, the bride applies a dot of vermillion on the groom’s forehead. This is the ‘good luck’ tilak. Shubhamastu takes the mother’s name before the father’s at the ceremony.

++ From attacking Brahmins to questioning the Vedic rituals..not only questioning but manipulating & eliminating the rituals as whole, this old lady & her teammates are behind all the wrongdoings & are encouraged by feminists, anti-hindu lobby.

++ The whole idea is to break all kinds of boundaries — of gender, religion, language, caste. We aren’t rigid about dates and auspicious timing for performing rituals. We don’t subscribe to such notions,” Banerjee says. ++
++ According to Chakraborty, who was inducted into the group through Banerjee’s reference, Tagore’s songs are as important as the rituals and chants in their performances. According to Bhowmik, lyrics of Rabindrasangeet is equal to Mantras. ++

++ This Puja theme is based on a Bengali film "Brahma Janen Gopon Kommoti" where, a female priest is shown as a priestess. Bhowmik was the inspiration behind this film and the 66 Pally Puja Committee has decided to keep the theme with an aim to "break centuries old tradition." ++
Subhadep Adhikari petitioned the Calcutta High Court against the Bengali film, Brahma Janen Gopon Kommoti, for hurting Hindu religious sentiments but the High Court dismissed his petition.
These women thugs deserve to rot in jail but since they're women, nobody touches them. If public accepts the theme, committee will carry on this practice. Say NO!
This is not good at all & every Bengali Hindu should oppose the idea so that these committees don't dare to repeat.

Since the whole concept revolves around women, I urge Bengali especially women & other WB Hindus to come forward and oppose. Nobody has right to hurt our religious sentiments or interfere and if committees have right to propose such nonsense, we (public) have right to reject it.
@debtanu1971 Dada, @goonereol @upamanyu70 Dadas, @sarkar_swati Didi, can you all please see if anything can be done? 🙏
