    As we see most of the Hindu gods are Bigamy which it is illegal in Hindu religious customs and traditions and culture are there is a miss link between Hindu culture and tradition and Hindu gods?

    From the date and time stamp it appears that this abominable post was written at 1841 Hours today. And more than four hours have passed but it has not been deleted so far; whereas a simple post written sympathizing terrorist-affected people of Israel was deleted immediately.

    The think-tanks of this site want to make this site very popular and vibrant!!! LoL!!!

    You have posted this thread only to offend the devout Hindus.

    You have further stated: "I am Hindu and a Brahmin and only eat vegetarian unlike in another state..."---------------What does it mean? Do all these things give you a right to insult Hinduism?

    Still further, the Editor has not deleted this post so far. This means he is a willing accomplice.

    Traditional Hindu culture accepted polygamy, with references of it being present not only in epics, but also in the Rig Veda, for example. This is in line with a lot of cultures around the world of the age, where higher-status males routinely took multiple wives or equivalents.

    Although there is no 'official' reason by polygamy fell out of favour among Hindus, my theory is that this had much to do with reformist and modernising rhetoric among Hindus in the 19th and 20th centuries, making Hindu marriage more in line with Western traditions. This is another trend seen worldwide - if you compare with the indigenous Westernisation of China and Japan for instance.

    Lord Venkateshwara or Balaji in Tirupati not only married twice but he married a Muslim religious woman BIBI Nan Chari. except for Anjaneya Swamy or lord Hanuman who ate vegetarian food and married Suvarchala rest of or most of the Hindu gods did not follow Hindu traditions and culture...

    Bhushan Sir has said: "Lord Venkateshwara or Balaji in Tirupati not only married twice but he married a Muslim religious woman BIBI Nan Chari"------------This is a perfect instance of corrupting the tradition involving Hindu Gods and Goddesses during the dark medieval period as attempts to live in peace with barbaric invadors (which could not succeed).

    The second part of the last response of Bhushan Sir is too ridiculous to elicit any response from the readers.

    Bibi Nancharamma – Wife of Lord Venkateswara (Balaji)
    Bibi Nancharamma, a Muslim woman, is the wife of Lord Venkateswara, many Muslims of Rayalaseema (a region comprising 4 districts in the present state of Andhra Pradesh).

    The legend has it that Lord Balaji married a Muslim woman Bibi Nancharamma, who was the daughter of a Muslim general, in 1311 AD, after he was immensely pleased by her devotion. Her idol has a pride of place in Tirumala temple precincts," the priest said.
