Heidi Klum continued her tradition of wearing awesome, extravagant, and non-slutty Halloween costumes this year by dressing up as Hindu Goddess Kali.
But now many Hindu scholars have their panties (most likely not from Victoria's Secret) in a bunch over it and even feel Heidi should make a public apology for posing as a sacred figure.
Indo-American statesman Rajan Zed said, "Goddess Kali is highly revered in Hinduism and she is meant to be worshipped in temples and not to be used in clubs for publicity stunts or thrown around loosely for dramatic effects. Hindus welcome Hollywood and other entertainment industries to immerse themselves in Hinduism, but they should take it seriously and respectfully, and not just use the religion for decoration or to advance their selfish agenda. Casual flirting sometimes results in pillaging serious spiritual doctrines and revered symbols and hurting the devotees."
Ok, these Hindus should learn to lighten up a little. If anything they should be thanking Heidi. I mean, before this, who had even heard of Goddess Kali? (By the way, she is the goddess of time and change.)
