Sri Ramakrishna
Sri Ramakrishna, the 19th century Hindu saint, has been declared by these
scholars as being a sexually-abused homosexual, and it has become “academically
established” by Wendy Doniger's students that Ramakrishna was a child molester,
and had also forced homosexual activities upon Vivekananda. Furthermore, it has
become part of this new “discovery” that Ramakrishna's mystical experiences, and
indeed those of Hindu mystics in general, are pathological sexual conditions
that need to be psychoanalyzed as such. Furthermore, these scholars have
concluded that the entire Hindu society needs to be psychoanalyzed in terms of
sexual deviance, in order to understand modern Indian society and politics
objectively.
Lord Ganesha
Other conclusions by these well-placed scholars include: Ganesha's trunk
symbolizes a “limp phallus”; his broken tusk is a symbol for the
castration-complex of the Hindu male; his large belly is a proof of the Hindu
male's enormous appetite for oral sex. Shiva, is interpreted as a womanizer, who
encourages ritual rape, prostitution and murder, and his worship is linked to
violence and destruction.
About Ganesha
“[F]rom a psychoanalytic perspective, there is meaning in the selection of the
elephant head. Its trunk is the displaced phallus, a caricature of Siva's linga.
It poses no threat because it is too large, flaccid, and in the wrong place to
be useful for sexual purposes. ... So Ganesa takes on the attributes of his
father but in an inverted form, with an exaggerated limp phallus - ascetic and
benign - whereas Siva is “hard”, erotic, and destructive.”[xlvi] “He [Ganesa]
remains celibate so as not to compete erotically with his father, a notorious
womanizer, either incestuously for his mother or for any other woman for that
matter.”[xlvii]
"Ganesa is like a eunuch guarding the women of the harem. In
Indian folklore and practice, eunuchs have served as trusted guardians of the
antahpura, the seraglio. “They have the reputation of being homosexuals, with a
penchant for oral sex, and are looked upon as the very dregs of society.”
(Hiltebeitel 1980, p. 162). ... Like the eunuch, Ganesa has the power to bless
and curse; that is, to place and remove obstacles. Although there seem to be no
myths or folktales in which Ganesa explicitly performs oral sex, his insatiable
appetite for sweets may be interpreted as an effort to satisfy a hunger that
seems inappropriate in an otherwise ascetic disposition, a hunger having clear
erotic overtones. Ganesa's broken tusk, his guardian staff, and displaced head
can be interpreted as symbols of castration…. This combination of
child-ascetic-eunuch in the symbolism of Ganesa – each an explicit denial of
adult male sexuality - appears to embody a primal Indian male longing: to remain
close to the mother and to do so in a way that will both protect her and yet be
acceptable to the father. This means that the son must retain access to the
mother but not attempt to possess her sexually.”[xlviii]
About Jesus Christ
“Jesus was a filthy and indecent man. He learned some magic tricks from the
visiting Persian merchants. The Romans often invited him to perform at their
parties, and in exchange, they offered him wine. So he routinely got drunk,
tried to be “a notorious womanizer,” and was a hobo all his life. Since Jesus'
mother was a prostitute, she did not want to announce the true identity of his
father, and had to make up a story for the illiterate nomads. Therefore, Mary
claimed that Jesus was born without physical intercourse. So all his life, Jesus
guarded the myth of his mother's virginity and hid the immoral activities of his
father and other customers who visited her for sex. The Roman commander played a
joke upon Jesus by crucifying him using the cross, symbolizing that the cross
was the phallus which his mother must have used for his conception. Thus, his
followers today carry a cross as the phallic symbol of his immaculate
conception.”
More about Siva
“Entering the world of Shiva worship is to enter the world of India at its most
awesomely mysterious and bewildering; at least for the non-Indian. In Shiva
worship, the Indian creative imagination erupts in a never-ending multiplicity
of gods and demons, occult rituals, and stunning sexual symbolism …Linga/yoni
veneration was not the whole of it …Young women, known as devadasis, were
commonly connected with Shiva temples, and participated in the rituals,
sometimes only in a symbolic fashion; sometimes not. In a degraded form the
devadasi became nothing more than temple prostitutes. These extremes were more
often to be found among the practitioners of Tantra, that enigmatic antithesis
of conservative Hinduism that developed in northeastern India. Some Tantra
temples became notorious for all kinds of extreme practices, including ritual
rape and ritual murder. In Calcutta, at the Temple of Durga (one of the forms of
Shiva's shakti) there was an annual festival at which many pigs, goats, sheep,
fowl, and even water buffaloes would be slaughtered and ritually burned before
the statue of the goddess.

Radha in the Erotic Play of the Universe
Chanced upon this article
http://www.religion-online.org/showarticle.asp?title=146
here are the excerptsCertainly the crossing of forbidden boundaries is central to an adequate
understanding of Radha bhakti. This plays itself out in the transgression of
moral and legal limits in the illicit relationship of Radha and Krsna, a theme
accentuated by the intense yearning of viraha [love in separation]. Further, in
the intimacy of the bhakti relationship the male bhakta, by experiencing himself
as female partner violates his primal sexual demarcation as a male.
