A large group of angry Hindus in America have been protesting against one of the world’s most celebrated pop singers Selena Gomez for sporting the tattoo of the sacred Hindu emblem ‘Om’ on her upper left thigh, and claimed it highly ‘irreverent and disrespectful’ of Hindu religion.
Rajan Zed, the President of Universal Society of Hinduism, said that Hindus begin and end their prayers with ‘Om’, which contains the entire universe. Suggesting that Selena should get acquainted with the basics of world religions, Rajan said, ‘such trivialization of ‘Om’ is upsetting for Hindus and it is inappropriate for Selena to place such revered and sacred symbol of Hinduism with high religious significance on her thigh’.
Recently, Selena was photographed by paparazzi as she was coming out of the sea all drenched and her bikini glimpses the OM symbol tattooed on her hip. This is not the first time that Selena invited the Hindu ire, as in 2013, she was ridiculed by American Hindus for being insensitive by wearing a bindi at an awards function.
