Hindu Gods On Australian Beer Bottles

An Australian brewery angers the Indians as the alcoholic ginger beer bottles were labeled with pictures of Hindu dieties Ganesh and Lakshmi.Using dieties and symbols of Hinduism in this grossly inappropriate and offensive manner is unacceptable said Rajan Zed,the President of the organization which is based in the United States.Lord Ganesh and Goddess Lakshmi were highly revered in Hinduism and they were meant to be worshipped in temples or homeshrines,and not to be used in selling beer,Zed said.President of the Indian Australian Association of New South Wales (NSW), Yadu Singh said the labels were ''disgusting'' and had "cheapened" the Hindu religion.
