REQUEST: Is Tom Petty a Hindu?
Voodoo Child
I just saw a picture of Tom Petty performing in front of a
poster of Vishnu and goddess Lakshmi. Is Tom Petty a Hindu?
Anyone know whose his guru or whats his yoga? Is there perhaps
a hidden Hindu meaning in some of his songs?

He is a Hindu rock-and-roll singer, but apparently, he has not
undergone the namakarana ceremony as prescribed by Hinduism Today, but
I don't think it's because he can't afford the $900.
Either that, or he has chosen to use his former name rather than his
Hindu name, and as a result, he is receiving no spiritual benefits,
according to Hinduism Today.

Yup, since he hasn't got in league with those nasty shaivites, all he now has
to do is hawk the BG as it is, Easy journey to other planets and such
masterpieces in airports, roads, departmental stores, Kinko's copier etc in
Chicago or Timbuktoo or in any suitable place and also get on to the internet
and post excerpts from books from the BBT. The last is a must for salvation.
That will save him from becoming an impersonalist and guarantee heaven and
what not, but not (gasp, a four letter word) sayujya.

Here's an interesting question: a person recently stated on this forum
that a bunch of eunuchs were Shaivites. Had I said the same thing, I'm
sure that you and a few others would then claim that I'd said nasty
things about Shaivites and called them eunuchs, etc.
Of course, I'm basing this on the last time I was accused of saying
nasty things about Shaivites (the evidence, of course, was never
forthcoming, nor did it suppor the original accusation).
Now, we see a totally, well, interesting statement from Hinduism
Today, and if I repeat it, your reaction is to attack other
groups. Tiwariji chimes in and tries to suggest that it's my opinion.
Why is it that the "tolerant" Hindus suddenly show two different sets
of standards - Hinduism Today doesn't get remotely rebuked for what
seem to be ridiculous statements, and instead, RB aims for another
group to vent against?
Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Hey, is Alanis Morisette a Hindu?

I have looked through the partial discography, and it did not help.
However, thank you for the information, since I was not heretofore
aware of the live album in 1985.
