1/2 I’m no stranger to maliciously manufactured controversy, but still baffled by the onslaught @mahuamoitra Which is to say what every Hindu knows, that our forms of worship vary widely across the country. What the devotees offer as bhog says more about the goddess than about them.

2/2 We have reached a stage where no one can publicly say anything about any aspect of religion without claiming to have hurt anyone. Obviously @mahuamoitra Wasn’t trying to hurt anyone. I urge everyone to lighten up and leave the dharma to individuals to practice privately.
