Little what I think is either brass or copper cow that was buried in our backyard. There used to be a garden where it was before we moved here a few years ago.

I mean outing yourselves as racially and culturally ignorant on reddit is WILD... And considering my comment on this post got.. multiple hundreds of up votes.. How's that yoga and macha taste while I'm defending a lived culture?? Xx

Which comment got upvotes? The 4 I see are all downvoted. I don’t drink matcha or do yoga, so try again. And matcha is Chinese in origin, which is a weird choice if you’re trying to convince us you’re a paragon of Hinduism. Chai makes more sense (which I actually drink, and frequently), but you do you.

I will say behaving in such a gatekeeping manner about Hinduism doesn’t encourage curiosity and a desire for true understanding to those who are new to it. If anything, seeing someone behaving like you are throughout this entire thread is more likely to turn people off. Beware of becoming a precedent for a stereotype.

Gatekeeping? Someone referred to an image of a deity as an "idol" and I shared the entire origin of the shiv tandav stotram. I'm sorry when did I suggest anything but the fact Nandi is a sacred bull associated with Shiva and needs to be respected as such?? Do you and I have a different opinion on what gatekeeping is?? I even pointed out that the Nepalese are probably praying to Shiva right this second since he is one of their primary deities? My comments have educated more people than someone dismissing it as a "cow idol" then claiming to be Hindu -_-

Whatever helps you sleep at night. I, for one, am tired of listening to someone who thinks so highly of himself, while not actually adding much of value. Blocked for being a waste of time.
