Zhirinovsky spits fire on Lord Krishna

Following are some examples:“As a matter of fact, the dull-violet Krishna has many different qualities, suspicious and repulsive to a normal person.”

“Krishna is a swindler and a cheat…”

“Why should one worship a deity who on principle hates people, and who can instigate, cheat, etc or even kill his followers.”

Commenting on his book, Vadim Tuneyev, President of the Russian ISKCON said, the book is literally stuffed with absurd unfounded accusations of all the great sins against the devotees of Lord Krishna. “And those accusations are made by means of ignorant interpretations of such holy Hindu scriptures as Shrimad Bhagavad-Gita and Bhagawata Purana,” he said. “It is astonishing that just now, when Russia and India have entered a new era of rapproachment, a Russian deputy has permitted himself to make such thoughtless, provocative blasphemy against Lord Krishna.”

“The discoveries of Zhirinovsky in his book are an outrage of the feelings of believers in Lord Krishna all over the world,” he underlined. Since his misnomer Liberal Democratic Party placed first in the 1993, parliamentary elections, Zhirinovsky has been no stranger to controversy, earning notoriety for a series of fascist statements, physical attacks on journalists, politicians, several against women.

Zhirinousley’s outrageous remarks against Lord Krishna, Russia is already in the midst of implementing the controversial religious law, which Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed recently, putting curbs on freedom of worship in Russia. Under the law only Russian Orthodoxy, Judaism, Buddhism and Islam have the status of religion.
