NEWSWEEK cover portrays Obama as Hindu god Shiva

I blog'd about this and got thousands of hits

mikephilbin.blogspot.com...

but, as this story seems to have been SCRUBBED FROM THE NET since yesterday, it's either a HOAX or TPTB didn't want that cover being released prior to JFK-assassination day 2010.

What makes you think it's been "scrubbed from the net"?

I just came from Barnes and Nobels. (I actually could get out today! YIPEE!)
Saw the magazine cover. It was actually clever.
The Hindu gods are shown with many arms to signify that they can do many things.
It was a form of picture-word for the people who can't read to help them understand the religion.
That's how it was explained to me by a college prof. I had. (he was Hindu).

Newsweek is notoriously left and I thought it a bit odd that they did it. It was clever. But odd. By odd I mean that they are so far left, I'm surprised they admitted that their fella can't do the job. Wonder if this is prep for Hillary to come in 2012.

News week is ignorant they could of imulated an octupus and got the same message across...

It's very strange, IMO. Shiva the Destroyer??? Wow - plus the subtitle "God of all things?" and then questioning that he can handle it at a time when his competence is very much in question ... it's interesting to say the least. Frankly, I think it is part of the take-down.

BH,

excellent, that's EXACTLY the url I was looking for - and with others' testimony that that is the cover for the JFK-assassination release date of 2010 - like, wow!

what arrogance, what brinksmanship on the part of MSM.

I don't get what it has to do with JFK's assassination date... I'm lost on that reference.

And who are you saying is arrogant? The MSM? Sorry, I don't get that, either. I feel a bit lost.

Yes the image does seem like copied from Lord Shiva's image. It's very wrong imo.

Shiva is the god of the yogis, self-controlled and celibate, while at the same time a lover of his spouse (shakti). Lord Shiva is the destroyer of the world, following Brahma the creator and Vishnu the preserver, after which Brahma again creates the world and so on. Shiva is responsible for change both in the form of death and destruction and in the positive sense of destroying the ego, the false identification with the form.

Hindu Gods

You completely avoided the good part why is Shiva known as destroyer of world because - from you're own link

Shiva is responsible for change both in the form of death and destruction and in the positive sense of destroying the ego, the false identification with the form.

That is why he is known as God of destruction. He destroys falsehood and evil. Not only that

In the Mahabharata, Shiva is depicted as "the standard of invincibility, might, and terror", as well as a figure of honor, delight, and brilliance.

In the image it shows Tandava dance. This dance does not only represent destruction but also other things such as preservation, creation and dissolution.

According to Hindu mythology, Shiva’s Tandava is a vigorous dance that is the source of the cycle of creation, preservation and dissolution.

Yes I did. That's because I was making a joke.

I don't know why NEWSWEEK has Obama on the cover as Shiva, but I think it's funny that people are getting upset about it. As if Obama wants to be portrayed as a god and he's all full of himself or something. As if he had ANYTHING to do with it. I don't know why this bothers anyone. So I was making fun...

People need to look into this a little more
This could be something similar to a secret society using symbolism to lay certain things out in the open
ShivJi is both the destroyer and the creator
The creator because in hinduism it is believed that one who destroys also creates

For Obama it might mean destroy the economy and the country and rebuild it in his own vision
People should think of it in this manner

The elite know what they're doing. Shiva is the bringer of destruction and this symbolizes the power she has.

Looks like this prediction of Obama being Shiva the god of destruction is comming true.
