Remove god Vishnu’s image from album of Jimi Hendrix's cover page "Axis - Bold as Love"


Remove god Vishnu’s image from album of Jimi Hendrix's cover page "Axis - Bold as Love"
The Issue
The album cover, which draws on Hindu religious iconography, was designed without Hendrix's approval, and he publicly expressed his dissatisfaction.
As a devoted member of the Hindu community, I am deeply saddened and disappointed by the cover page of Jimi Hendrix's album, "Axis - Bold as Love." The replacement of God Vishnu’s face with Hendrix's face is not only disrespectful to the Hindu religious but also offensive to millions of Hindus worldwide. This petition aims to urge the responsible parties to remove god Vishnu’s image from Jimi Hendrix's face on the cover page and also remove any derogatory references from Wikipedia.This album was created in late 1967. Some Hindus have since expressed anger over the use of religious images in the album's artwork. The Malaysian government's Home Ministry instituted a ban on the album's art in response to complaints. Recently, when I discovered that an Indian god had been replaced by Jimi Hendrix on the cover page of "Axis - Bold as Love," it felt like a disrespect to the millions of Hindus worldwide.
By altering such an iconic image without proper understanding or consideration for its implications, risks respect of religious and diminishing its significance.
Furthermore, it is essential to address another issue related to Wikipedia's description referring to inaccurate statements made by journalist Nick Jones “with a lot of freaky looking Indian cats and gods, sages and one guy with elephant’s trunk as nose or something.” should not be presented without proper verification or context.To rectify these concerns, we kindly request:1. Remove God Vishnu’s image from Jimi Hendrix's Cover page of "Axis - Bold as Love"
2. The removal of the derogatory wording from Wikipedia's description unfairly portrays Hindu gods and disrespects millions of Hindus worldwide.
3. Hold on selling any copy of the Jimi Hendrix album “Axis - Bold as Love” and other materials that has god Vishnu's image replaced by Jimi Hendrix until it takes place. (https://www.google.com/search?q=jimi+handrix+axis+bold&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#ip=1
By signing this petition, we are not only advocating for the rights of Hindus but also standing up for cultural sensitivity, respect, and accurate representation in art and the media. Let us come together to ensure that Jimi Hendrix's image is restored on "Axis - Bold as Love" cover page, preserving his true identity and honoring his immense contribution to music.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we hope you will take immediate action to rectify these concerns.
Sincerely,
Prerak (Pin2) Patel
