Upset Hindus urge Mexico brewery to retire Lord Ganesh Beer & apologize
In Hinduism, Lord Ganesh is worshipped as god of wisdom and remover of obstacles and is invoked before the beginning of any major undertaking.
Upset Hindus are urging Ensenada (Baja California, Mexico) based 8-Bit Brewers to apologize and withdraw its Ganesh IPA beer; calling it highly inappropriate.
8-Bit’s Cerveza Premium IPA Ganesh beer bottle carries an image of Hindu deity Lord Ganesh.
Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) said that inappropriate usage of Hindu deities or concepts or symbols for commercial or other agenda was not okay as it hurt the devotees.
