I believe Mantra Lounge will be at the exact spot where Flamingo use to be, however, this really takes a bite out of all respect for Hinduism. I wonder what people think when they're looking for a name to attract customers. I think this it very offensive and insulting to the Hindu community.

Bhai, Dat used to be Shipwreck.

You does always find something offensive or insulting. So the place name the Mantra Lounge. What's the big deal about it? You know damn well you'll crawl in anyway to sip a beer or two and meditate lil bit.
Like yuh ain't got nothing fu do today, nuh?

I hope the american Assoc of Hindus picket this unholy Place.

Most likely, it would be Trinidadian ownership. They put money over respect of community and religion.

On what scriptural source? You morons simply hatch religious "offenses" as you seem fit. These may or may not be Hindus liking the idea behind the symbol and using it as their good luck charm. It only insults morons like you that are part of they hypocritical "offense industry" rather than in the religious observance industry.

Stormborn is de man to put things in perspective...just go get your dictionary out Abeedha!

What thread did I started and make that statement? Read properly and get your story straight next time.

HEHEHE

The Federation of Hindu Mandirs will issue a letter on behalf of all Hindus in Queens to the owner of Mantra Lounge, stating their displeasure of the name and symbol of "OM" on a business that is reserved for entertainment and alcohol consumption. More on this later.

GREAT work Bhai. keep up the pressure BUT no Burning and Looting.

We leave the looting and burning to the savage men. We're the civilize people.

Yuh mean yuh been and cochore pon de peole?? What a disgrace!! Yuh baxside better don't show up there while I'm  nacking a few, becaze I will no doubt point you out as being de rat.
 

Yo Sheik, Dat man is a Bhramin, you will NEVER see him at such Filthy Places!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bhramin my ass!  He took me and two of my guests visiting from the Bronx to some seedy bar in Liberty Ave just after we finished having dinner at Kaiteur. I haven't gotten over that embarrassment as yet. Everwhere you turn was a antiman. The man and his wife ran out of the place. And they were an elderly couple at that. What kind of a Bhramin does these thing? 

Mantra Lounge decided to reshape the "Om" sign to take away the spiritual meaning of "Om." It's a start in the right direction, but we feel it's not enough. There is still discussion going on to do away with the semblance of the sign altogether. More to come....  

I thought "spirits" was part of spiritual, hehehe!

EXPRESSNYONE?? MUSIC, DANCING AND GREAT CUTTERS.

Whattack!!! Bam!!!!

Chief, did you took part in the interfaith event at Smokey Park? I didn't get to taste the free bread from Bakewel.

It is very disrespectful for any business to use the word "OM" to be associated with such an institution.

Worse yet, in a densely populated Indo-Caribbean area.

We will monitor this business activities

You mek Iman laff. How will you guys monitor the place, go in and have a few beers?

So vish, wanna bet the patrons will be Indo-Caribbean ?

No. i WAS AT THE 26TH ANNUAL MUSLIM DAY PARADE IN MANHATTAN.

 I want Vish to answer that question. How will he moniter this place?

Probably got something to do with, stickin his nose in, hehehehe

I was there with a few friends. The show was well put together, and it's a start in the right direction. I spoke to Ruben Wills and other members of the event, and they assure me that this event will happen once a year, and it hope to attract a larger audience. BTW, we were at our best behavior, and we drank coffee and enjoy the show.

Anybody bring a pet dog or a pig?

Why do you want to insult the Muslim Community?

I  believe  you  are  way  off  base  here  Storm. i  most  certainly believe it is  an  affront, insult and utter  disrespect  to the Vedic culture  and  religion for anyone to use an  Internationally  recognized religious symbol for  cheap  commercialization of  their  business /  product - more so a  business  that  is diametrically opposite to  Vedic doctrines &  ways  of  life and the religious & spiritual connotation of such  symbol, to these folks. Would  any  good Christian tolerate the use of  the Crucifix  to propagate a  house of  ill repute?
