Why do hindu temples have half naked girls on their temples ???!!!

This was the question which bothered me till I entered high school of a gurukul (ashrama). Usually when you see any famous old hindu temple you will find some pretty young girls who are wearing almost no clothes are carved on the temple. In fact temples in kajuraho & konark have become world famous bcoz of the same reason where you will find almost all the postures of kamasutra including postures of groupsex are on the temple. Any ordinary human being will think that this is disgusting to have such things on the temple which is the place of worship.
If sex is so dirty and vulgar then why should we all do it? Let us all stop having sex and soon the entire human race will be extinct. Sex is the source of creation of another living being and creation is the process of the creator the god. God is holy and he creates and does only holy things. God has created us and sex, which leads to creation and the continuity of life. Creation is a godly process (some have mistaken it with having multiple wives with many kids per wife) and it should not be seen as a taboo. Vaishnavism a sect of Sanathana dharma (Hinduism) advices against illicit sex i.e., sex for procreation only and not after that but shaivishm nothing is prohibited but it only states that the more you give up all the worldly pleasures the more you will be near to god. In fact the highest status(sahasradhara chakra) of kundalini yoga requires the sidhas/yogi to consume nothing other than the thin air and light.
Most of these statues are only on the exteriors of the temple and once you near the garbagraha (chamber of god) you will find no such statues. Imagine yourself in front of the garbagriha and all statues depicting the worldly pleasures such as sex are outside and on the wall of the temple. This suggests that to go near god you have to abstain from all these worldly and human pleasures like sex and devote yourself only to god with nothing in mind other than the deity himself. Unfortunately almost all of our today’s generation of parents do not know such simple things about their own dharma and they do not know how what to say when they are faced with such question by their children.

stackexchange: Are shudras and women not allowed to chant Aum i.e Pranava?

since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. Chanting and reading are different. Vedic Chanting has two parts - Tone and Recitation (Patha). It further has four different tones - Udatta, Anudaatta, Svarita and Deergha Svarita. Pathas are the styles of hymnal recitation. So unless your are are well skilled in these and your pronouncination, enunciation is accurate, you are not supposed to chant. Chanting the same mantras in different way produces different effects, different vibrations. Many a times a slight difference in spacing, intonation, pronounciation, enunciation produces different meanings. So unless you are classically trained to chant these, one shall avoid it but can read them with sound without making a sound, silently. Ex: Many in north india swap va & ba. Ravindranath tagore becomes rabindranath tagore. Many in north india also swap ra & da

stackexchange: Why do many Hindus eat meat and fish? Eating meat and fish directly violates the principle of Ahimsa

since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. The meaning of ahimsa today unfortunately has been equated to non violence due to the lack of equivalent word in english. Just like atma is not sould, ahimsa is not non violence. It is a state of being. Meta is discouraged and not forbidden in hinduism. Today unfortunately meat has been associated with health and fitness. Let us have a look at the animals in the jungle. Elephant - biggest animal, most powerful animal, heaviest animal Rhino, hippopotamus, wild buffalo - big, powerful, heavy deer - fastest animal giraffe, camel - tallest animal tortoise - lenghty life horse - speed, vigor donkey - most hardworking Many of these vegetarian animals (elephant, rhino, hippopotamus, wild ox, wild bull) can easily defeat any tiger, lion. In fact no lion or tiger ever dare to do a one on one with any of them. You will notice

stackexchange: What does the demon kali staying in gold mean?

 since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. I think you are taking it in the wrong direction. Many of hindu texts have sub layered meanings.So the parikshit permits him to stay only in places where there is prostituion gold (riches, display of riches) Alcohol (intoxicants which will affect your moral judgement) Gambling As you might have already figured out from the story, kali is non physical in nature and omnipresent. He can not only be present in many places at once but also many kalpas at once. So for easier understanding, think of him as the biggest influencer of immorality. Wherever these 4 things are there, there is a high chance that, the place and the people in it are immoral, unethical. Here are the same 4 things in islam and how it is restricted. Prostitution is prohibited in Islam. It is considered a form of zina, or adultery, which is a major sin
