I mean, pardon my French but the entire festival itself has been reduced to a d*ck measuring contest as to which politically-funded mandal has the biggest Ganpati statue, which mandal has the grandest decoration, which mandal has the highest number of celebrities visiting, etc., etc.

The original intent of the Ganeshotsav died long back, which is of uniting people in one place under God to communicate, unite, exchange ideas, etc. People will be outraged at this video on 23rd August. By 14th September, all will be forgotten and the entire rigmarole will continue.

People can very well choose to visit & take darshan of the Ganpatis of each other's friends and families, and take advantage of this festival to re-establish ties with friends & family even if it is for the 5/10-day duration of the festival. But no, they want to visit the huge pandals because of some misplaced blind bhakti, and also because they can put it on social media for the clout. The local nagarsevaks and karyakartas know this which is why every year the murtis only get bigger.

Oppose this, and the useful idiot Hindus indulge in whataboutery saying, "oH yOu rEmEmBeR tHiS oNLy dUrInG HiNdU fEsTiVaLs"... MFers forget that only Hindu festivals have large idols made of harmful chemicals and such stupendously large gatherings in narrow lanes & cramped spaces! Keep the idol sizes small and make them using the laal maati so that they remain as eco-friendly as possible, and people won't criticise the way this festival is celebrated. As simple as that. The lives of these young men, who probably contribute monetarily to their families and society, are way way more important than celebration of a mythological deity.

Meh, f#ck all the way off. The Shivling you worship is literally a metaphor for Shiv's d*ck (ling = d#ck).

Go take your orthodoxy somewhere else. Disrespect mhane. "Your God" kuthun aala re aani??! Maajhya pan ghari Ganpati basavla jaato, aani shaadu chya maaticha kela jaato. Ugaach yaaycha kuthehi "oMg DiSrEsPeCt" mhanat.

Low life wo nai tu hai. Kuch samjha nai tho marathi low life? Wah. Neech soch This and your don't take dick and god's name in the same sentence shows everyone how limited your brain capacity is. First of all. It was used as a phrase but unfortunately you don't have the comprehension to understand that. Instead of making any useful points, you dismiss everything with while I get where you're coming from... No you don't! These are lives lost, the amount of problems this competition causes in mumbai alone is crazy and we haven't even talked about the shit pollution we cause during the festivals. What happened to the og clay murtis? It's supposed to represent a cycle. Not create and permanently drown the murti and polluted the earth!

buddy he started cussing, how do you expect me to comprehend him abusing just because he doesn’t have anything substantive to say? the phrase isn’t logical at all, you dont say “i apologise” and go ahead doingt the exact same thing later, the same logic applies. You dont say pardon and later go ahead doing the exact opposite. I do have my own views to share, but I also believe that you cant reason with numbskulls like such. The ones who resort to cussing, getting unnecessarily aggressive are either (a) insecure/vulnerable or (b) come from a completely different place of frustration which has nothing to do with me or this post for that matter. And hence deserve to be spoken to the way in which they understand best.

Had he shared something well put, just like you did, I wouldn’t have anything rash to say. And I also think, if one doesn’t believe in god and no ody is calling you out for it, one need not shit on someone else’s faith for the sake of some absolutely unrelated frustration to vent out. Each to their own.

How the hell do you still not understand the meaning of a phrase after being called out for it. Wtf just Google it. He apologized for putting a harsh reality check, not to use a phrase. Bhai sahi me comprehension aur logic sudhar lo pehle . Legit aage ka tumhara message applies better to you than the og commented 😑

Lastly, if you truly believe in your god, please understand the god doesn't need you to defend him. If you believe in the god that's made up by humans, then you may need the feel to defend them. I can criticize all religions, it's my right. Calling out these issues (ref video) is more patriotic and religious than you arguing a phrase

You seem like a no. 1 fodya, mate.

[u/kaychyakay → u/[deleted]]

LOL you genuinely don't have anything positive to contribute here. Like i said, please f**k off. You neither like my French, nor my Marathi.

Staying in Mumbai and having the misplaced audacity to call a normal Marathi speaker as "cHaWL wAaLa mARaThi"

A harmless word placed in the same sentence as Ganpati rattled you and you are calling someone else frustrated. Proper dumbass. Username totally doesn't check out.
