Bhagwan Singh              Chennai, March 5: Over 1,000 lambs and goats were sacrificed at a Kali       temple in Tiruchy, Tamil Nadu, and the chief priest drank the blood of       some of them on Thursday in fulfilment of vows taken by believers,       according to reports reaching here.              This is the first major temple festival involving the sacrifice of       animals and fowl since the Jayalalitha government lifted its ban on       such slaughter a fortnight ago. The ban was lifted because the state       government did not want to risk the wrath of rural voters, who do not       like attempts to disrupt traditional religious rituals.              In fact, in fulfilment of a 200-year-old practice that was       scrupulously followed even by the British              rulers, the first sacrificial goat was offered by the state       administration, represented by local revenue officials. After the       government’s animal was sacrificed, chief priest Sivakumar drank its       blood to symbolise the acceptance of the offering by the deity,       Kuzhumayi Amman, a form of Goddess Kali. The priest then tasted the       blood of 18 other goats sacrificed on behalf of various local heads       who have traditional rights of worship at the temple, eyewitnesses       said.                     --       Astrology: Fraud or Superstition?       http://www.seesharppress.com/astro.html              Ass-troll-ogers/jyotishitheads are the bane of humanity, and must be       cleansed or otherwise purified for the benefit of society.              http://www.nowpublic.com/world/vhp-terrorism              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
