In a few centuries Hinduism won’t be so much a religion as much as a multi leveled, character based, entertainment conglomerate and it will crush Islam, Christianity and the Disney Corporation. The only other religion that will still be in a competitive scale will be Scientology, which will have transformed itself into a giant law firm.
Actually this does follow some of the Hindu thematic flow as their gods have multiple aspects and sub incarnations, each major god has tons of “secret identities” as represented by their stylized variation of having multiple faces.
This is what I like about Hinduism. Its worshippers are obviously cool with this. If somebody put Jesus in a Spider-Man costume, there’d be protesters storming the parade.
@The What Now?
That’s probably because of the above-mentioned idea of Hindu gods having multiple aspects. (This is, of course, assuming that it wasn’t just done for a joke.) On the other hand, one of the main ideas in modern Christianity (because I haven’t studied medieval or early Christianity, and am thus unqualified to speak for them) is that Jesus is the ONLY incarnation of God.
Ganesha is seen as the Remover of Obstacles, so anyone or anything that takes action to remove obstacles can be seen as exhibiting an aspect of the divine, in the form of Ganesh. The people who made this statue are saying that the heroic nature that we admire in the fictitious character of Spider-Man is an expression of the divine within us all, and should be honored. Also, it’s FUN. Bravo!
Spider-Ganesh looks aghast at a naked man and says, My gracious! How do you eat peanuts with THAT?!?
you knwo friends hindu ppl thay dont mine to make more one million god . thay all ready have 33million and there is one acter temple and now spaider also god ………..
IN AND THAY WILL BELIVE THERE IS ONE GOD……..

Bit of a paradox to remove obstacles with webs, eh?
@Luke It’s Hindu, not Muslim. The difference being that Hindus would laugh at a Spiderman + Ganesh pic, Muslims would most likely call it “un-Islamic” and declare jihad against it.

Oh Spidergod, who’s divine powers were sent unto him by the holy mutant spider.

Ganesha in aspect of modern super hero. What fun.
With great power, comes lots of curried rice.

Hmmm Spider-Jesus, he shot web for our sins.

Did a radioactive spider bite Ganesh?
Ladies, you gotta love the big bulging muscles on the Spider-Elephant-God, um, thingy. Yeah.
Ok.. someone has to explain this! Is it from a Bollywood movie??
Giru-gänesh!
religion = mental illness
Actually, this is one of the deleted scenes to be included in the Blu-Ray edition of Spider-man 3.
Not that it would have made it worse than it actually was…
Correct/flame me if I”m wrong, but isn’t Ganesh depicted with six arms? Because then the Spidey costume would REALLY be fitting.
Spider-Man, the David Lynch reimagining…
he looks like he has a small dick though. and not all women like bulging muscles. i for one find them creepy.
@gwenhwyfaer
If David Lynch had his way, there would be alot more things wrong with Hindu-spidey.

All bow down to Ganesharachnid!
If you look at his face, the main part of the web is there. If you stare at it for long enough, his trunk disappears.
@Pom Rania
Apart from the holy spirit, of course
Best comment!
I wonder how his ears feel squeezed into that costume
I wonder who made made the costume…
At least it wasn’t Batman w/ an elephant head…
lmgdao @ Garu-Ganesh!
@Hallo
Yea, because that would be WAY too wierd….

@shai
They do already believe all gods are one. Just different avatars.
@Superbars.net
(from the scene where uncle ben dies in the first movie)
“uncle ben! uncle ben! whats your recipe for rice?”
@jomarthegreat
Ganesha has 4 arms. And I would totally sport this suit!
@josue
Um, that’s not fucking real you moron.

I think someone did this as a joke,
no to offend anyone here that thinks that in a valiable concept, or any Muslim people
to any people who thought I just pointed out the obvious, well then forgive me and I shall say ’1000 apologies’
I will have to consult Captain Obvious on that matter, he is a good friend of mine
