Namaskar,
Aerosmith, a rock group has released a new music CD called "Nine Lives"
This CD is produced by Columbia Records, a subsidiary of Sony.
The cover of this CD depicts a picture of Lord Krishna's battle with
Kaliya. The picture of Shree Krishna is disfigured, a woman's upper body
with a blouse has been used to replace Shree Krishna's upper body, and
the head of Shree Krishna is replaced by that of a cat.
This representation is very insulting to Hindus everywhere in the world.
Hindus are protesting this insensitive act of Sony/Columbia/Aerosmith in
a united manner, and we urge you and your organization to join American
Hindu Anti-Defamation Coalition (AHADC) formed for this purpose
You can get more information from the AHADC Web site :

There is an on-line protest book, which you can sign.
Also, e-mail addresses of Sony/Columbia/Aerosmith are listed on the above
page, with sample protest letters.
We also urge all the Hindu organizations and temples to join the American
Hindu Anti-Defamation Coalition. A sign-up form is provided on the
website, you can also print out this form and take it to your local
temple and have their officials sign it.
We sincerely hope that Hindus will unite and protest disfiguring of their
revered Lord Krishna.
