I am so happy that an educated Hindu scholar finally sees what I see. Gwyneth Paltrow’s GOOP website, with the tagline “Nourish the inner aspect,” is a total joke. I subscribe to her newsletter and I’m sorry — I do not see the spiritual merit in discussing gladiator sandals. Trench coats and nautical-themed clothing do not represent any part of the inner me. Now, I’ve found a genius dude who shares my perspective.
Hindu scholars have poked fun at GWYNETH PALTROW for using religious terminology to promote her “mundane” weekly Goop blog.
U.S. Hindu leader Rajan Zed suggests the movie star should take the trouble to learn more about the ancient religion before using taglines like “nourish the inner aspect” on her website.
Zed fears Paltrow is leading impressionable minds astray by suggesting her weekly musings are deep and philosophical – and then just writing about material, “external” matters.
He says, “There are not many deep, spiritual and philosophical thoughts in the blog, which are an essential part of nourishing the inner self.
“The actress needs to grow-up and stop writing about mundane topics like ‘Boots by Gucci’, ‘Banana Pancakes’, ‘The Hungry Cat’ and ‘Tweezerman’ – in which she talks about taming the unruly eyebrows of men. Instead, she needs to talk about topics like realising self, immortality, deeper reality, eternity, soul, inner realms of the mind and spirit, pure consciousness. That’s if she’s truly serious about inner aspect.”
Reading this article got me to going through POOP GOOP again. According to Gwynnie, songs to nourish your inner aspect include “Lovefool” by the Cardigans and “Crazy In Love” by Beyonce. What a waste of cyber space.
If you hate it so much, then don’t subscribe to it – duh!
To be honest, I think she has a right to blog about whatever she wants. It’s your choice whether or not you buy into it.
I agree with you. The site is nauseating (hence I don’t visit it) but she is entitled to blog about the subjects of her choice. Just like we’re free to comment on it!
In all fairness, maybe Gwyneth is so shallow and vapid that Gucci Boots and drinking elitist water are the things that nourish her inner spirit…It’s best to let her continue on her laughable merry way…while those who have are more profoundly spiritual truly think and pray about those who have exponentially less than Gwyneth. Those of us that are marginally more complete beings are only so when compared with Satanists like Gwyneth.
elitist WATER? hahaha… best.
ahaha she’s full of shit!
I actually just looked at her site and I like what I see! The site isn’t just about clothes. But speaking of that section, I like that she shows how to wear things! Many pieces are from TOPSHOP, which means it’s affordable for most people. And most people could use a bit of style help.
As far as the hindu scholars go, I don’t think she is trying undo their teachings and confuse spiritually challenged people. FAIL.
Is there anyone more pretentious than Gwyneth Paltrow?
I receive Rajan Zed’s “stories” all the time. I’m not saying he’s wrong about Gwyneth, but he is a self-promoting idiot.
i don’t think “educated hindu scholars” go around telling celebrities they need to grow up and what they need to blog about. doesn’t this guy have anything better to do? NOWHERE on gwyneth’s blog does it say anything about it being hindu themed. just because she uses the phrase “nourish your inner aspect” doesn’t mean she “needs” to blog about what this guy says she should. i think maybe he needs to stop judging people.
Well, I say if Madonna can “practice” Kabbalah while having an affair and porking men half her age and get a pass from the gossips, I guess Gwynth ought to be allowed to equate her inner aspect with fashion.
Wendie’s right. Gwenyth Paltrow is an idiot.
Hinduism isn’t exactly full of credible facts either.
SSS-NAP!
