SHAVING OF HEADS - A RITUAL

oh No, This is not a result of a fight with the barber, nor did he pay less. He is a high cast Brahmin performing death rites at Banaras. The priests shave their heads in  different styles, leaving more hair, many styles there. You would have seen HARE KRISHNA crowd chanting and dancing on the streets with shaven heads and little hair dangling behind.

These guys are performing post death rituals. Buying a ticket to heaven for the departed soul, its quite expensive and these Pundits, priests play with their guilt.

We treated our dad badly, here's some money can you send him to heaven ?

oh yea ! twenty thousand rupees

what ?   i don't have that kind of money

fifteen ?

Ten

ok Done. But your father will go to heaven in economy class, no comforts.
How much is first class ?
Fifteen.
aaaah !  sorry dad, money is useful here, vokkay send him in economy,  second class. Do you have third class ?

no toilet facility in second class
its ok, Dad was always constipated anyway.

Yeah i know, its been a while

What was i doing ?

Mostly nutting, some work, a little money camed, i traveled, i am fine, 80% fine, i was not well for some time.

nuttin serious, juss cold fever cough, avoiding any medicine traveling with fever, not a good idea,
silly meee....... 
y' know i am not a sensible guy.

why shaved heads  all of a sudden after a long silence ?
i know this post is very rude.

i have been getting lot of mail requesting pictures, shaved heads, roads, distance, temples, places. i'll be writing some information kind of posts and stay away from annoying you

for a while.

i dun knows why so many are interested in shaved heads

Shaving of heads is mostly connected with post death rituals. 

it has to be post death, there can't be a pre death ritual.
oh na na na, pre death ritual is called murder

The chap is holding the ashes to be immersed in the river Ganges thus polluting the river.

Many South Indians go to temples like Tirupati to shave their heads after fulfillment of a vow

'if i get  a green card i'll shave my head at Thirupati temple before i board a flight to the US'

hmmm...  'Not a good idea'  friends advise. 'Go to US report for work, make some money and you can always come back to Thirupati temple to shave your head.

They never forget. They always come back to fulfill their promise to god.
There are a few adjustments with god

Shaving of head is a kind of sacrifice.

is it ?

i dun knows
buttoo women shaving their heads is a huge sacrifice.

.

Women shave their heads too. The temples collect all the long hair and sell them to wig makers. Tons of dem, in truckloads... i am not joking, Serious.  

What ?  you dun beleeve me ? ....  its bijness, its money, lot of money there. 

 Hoye'.... You better believe me !

Well, this is cambleet head shave. i mean shaving of the beard den the head. 
This is SANGAM

Sangam is meeting, fusion, Three rivers meet here. Ganga Jamuna, Saraswati. the place is Allahabad.

Saraswati is not a mythical river. Traces of this river can be seen in the satellite images. It doesn't exist now.

You see the Sangam of only two rivers, Ganga (Holy Ganges) and Jamuna. It was all water to me.

i couldn't see two rivers meeting.

Where is it ?

here -  said the boatman

i juss believed him.

So, this is a combleet head shave in stages  on a boat, holy boat on two holy rivers.

Ah reddy reddy to perform the ritual, people come here from all over India and abroad and this gorilla, yours truly went there just out of curiosity and to take pittures. i was not disappointed. This is very early in da morning.

people go there for various reasons, This lady is immersing an idol, i dunno why, i asked her she kept quiet, juss gave me a cold stare. This is at six in da morning

All this yappening in da middal of a river, sorry two rivers. This is a holy place.

Cooling off after a head shave, he is happy, this is not Sangam of Ganga and Jamuna, This is anodder holy river Krishna in Andhra Pradesh

WOMEN ARE INFERIOR

The last one was a killer

A sizzling forehand cross court, absolutely clueless Adam running in the wrong direction, crashed in to the crowd of Angels. He made a complete fool of himself. .

All Angels stood up chanting Lilith ....Lilith.... Lilith ....Lilith.... Lilith.

Breaking through the loud cheers came the voice of Lord God the chair umpire

' Love Forty' .... as Adam walked back to serve the last point.

Lilith waiting to receive on match point.

The garden of Eden shook with the relentless chanting of the Angels.

'Quiet please' said God Almighty. The chanting continued

Lilith ...Lilith ....Lilith....Lilith

As she waited for Adam to serve.

it happened in a fraction of a second, Adam's serve and a blistering backhand return which narrowly missed Adams ear who was rushing to the net.

Thunderous applause shattered the clouds, cheering chanting crowd of

Angels was rushing towards Lilith.

Came the booming voice of Lord God the chair umpire

'Game, set and Match to Miss Lilith'. No one heard him

Lilith was surrounded by the Angels signing autographs.

'Miss Lilith wins by three sets to love, six love, six love, six love'.

Adam went up to God

What do you mean she won huh ? i said five sets.... five

'Its over Adam' said Lord God Almighty

'We have not played five sets'

'oh deeah !' said Lilith still signing the autographs.

'i want to play five sets' screamed Adam

Why do you want to humiliate yourself Adam ? asked God

Humli what ?

'hu ...mi....liate' said God aloud

'don't use big words God'

'Humiliate is not a big word daddy' said Lilith smiling

'She is calling me daddy, tell her to stop calling me daddy she is my wife for

godssake !'

'Not any more Brother' said Lilith

'Now she is calling me brother, whats wrong with this woman ??' moaned Adam

God was puzzled too.

Who are these characters ?

you know who God is, and you know who Adam is, and all the Angels

but who is this Lilith ??

yea, who is this Lilith ?

Well, According to the ORRRIGINAL, the very first account of Genesis, Lilith is Adam's wife.

Adam's first wife ?

Surprised ?

Yes she is, the first wife.

please google Lilith for more information.

not now, not now, later....... please read on.

You don't need a super brain to know that Genesis is a cock and bull story

written by people with very poor imagination. A six year old girl would come

up with a better story.

We are talking about a thousand years before Gilgamesh, which makes it roughly 6000 years. Not more.

This is how it went.

God makes heaven and earth. thats fine, its still in the Bible.

Then God says 'let there be light' and there is light, which is fine toos,

still there in the Bible.

Fine ?? na... na, not fine, not fine,

a five year old kid would have switched the lights on before making heaven and earth. We probably would have enjoyed a better world.

Here comes the trouble.

God makes man and woman in his own image, male and female, same day

same moment and out of same material, dust, earth or clay, same thing.

Adam and Lilith.

So God makes man and woman as equals.

Equality of man and woman was the trouble.

This was not acceptable after a few centuries

so what do we do with this woman Lilith ? Do we erase her ?

Erasing was not possible after Lilith had become an icon.

What do we do to a strong willed, independant, determined and intelligent

woman ?

We brand her as Evil. Such a brilliant woman is considered a threat to the

society. Men hate her and do not treat her as an equal

and even women do not tolerate her. They weave some scandal about her, accuse her of loose morals, fictitious crimes, banish her or burn her.

History is littered with such stories of brilliant women ending up at the stake.

Why are the other women inferior ?

Bikkaas they WANT to be inferior

Their God says so

Their religion says so.

So the story of Genesis is re written. The original writer is a decent guy who

made man and woman equal.

Now the revised Genesis is written to make woman inferior to Man. Now you can see how all three mono-theistic religions are founded on a lie. Judaism Christianity and Islam

Lilith is brilliant, gets top marks in all the subjects, where as Adam fails in

Maths physics and biology and even history. There was not much history

anyway. All he had to do was to study just 2 days of history and he flunks

even in that.

Lilith walks out on Adam, makes a regulation call, calls God from a pay phone

God had de-activated her SIM and cancelled VISA card.

No more shopping, God is angry and Adam devastated.

Calling God

Its ringing

Recorded in Fairy Maire Brennan's beautiful voice Lilith gets God's answering

machine instead

Welcome to G.D.S, God's Devine Services.

Press 1 for mass murder.

Press 2 for Kidnapping rape and torture

Press 3 for epidemic

Press 4 for Floods and Tsunami

Press 5 for Hurricane tornado and cyclone

Press 6 for earthquakes And GOD LOVES YOU

Lilith says WOW ! hangs up in disgust.

According to revised Genesis, God sends three Angels to fetch her. But she

refuses to come back.

So, the first wedding in heaven ends up in a disaster.

the reason ?

Lilith refuses to be submissive and refuses to obey Adam.

Adam is a dum gai. How can an independant and a brilliant woman be

submissive to a dum dum ?

She is not an inferior.

There are many stories of Lilith and what happened to her. One of them is she joins the Devil. They couldn't think of anything good for her. A brilliant woman will always be associated with Evil and the Devil.

Stupid society.

God is surprised when FedEx deliver a thick envelop, God signs on the clip

board, Thank you God says the FedEX man.

What is that ? Adam wants to know

Shut up you fool says God while reading the contents of the envelop

You have lost your wife you moron, says God, these are the divorce papers

your wife wants you to sign, Devil is her lawyer.

God is furious, calls Devil immediately but gets Devil's answering machine.

to pieces and feed his flesh to the dogs,

Devil comes on line

i yam dulooling all-lethy (i am drooling already) says the Devil,

all you thillying thoo belybe me ? ( are you trying to bribe me ?)

Where is Lilith ? Can i tok to her ?

Thees lite heeyal thitthing by my thyth (she is right here, sitting by my side)

i want to talk to her my sweet little fellow .. Said God

folget about hull gaath, thees mine ( forget about her God, she's mine)

The revised Genesis says

God made heaven and earth

God said let there be light and there was light

and God made man out of dust, earth what ever

Then out of Adam's rib makes a woman

Now she is not an equal, she is an inferior, submissive obedient woman.

All are happy. No mention of his first wife

i'll tell you how researchers traced the origin of Lilith in the comments, this is

getting too long.

They depict Eve as stupid and inferior ( though Adam continues to be a certified moron, maha dimwit)

They made one big mistake, i'll tell you in the comments.

The sin is committed, Eve is blamed for the downfall of mankind and women

is cursed by ALL LOVING GOD

"To the woman He said, 'I will greatly multiply your pain and your

conception,'" literally. "'In pain you shall bring forth children; yet your desire

shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you"

"women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak,

but must be in submission, as the Law says.

If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands

at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

(1 Corinthians 14:34 - 35)

Lot more venom about women, i'll tell you later. i'll give you exact quotes.

What about other religions ?

None better

"By a girl, by a young woman, or even by an aged one, nothing must be done

independently, even in her own house. In childhood a female must be subject to her father, in youth to her husband, when her lord is dead to her sons; a woman must never be independent". (Laws of Manu, V, 147-8).

This is Hinduism, says lot worse in fact.

Women suffer the most in all countries under Islamic rule, the treatment of women is pathetic. They follow the same story of Genesis. Though Islam claims equality but never practiced.

why ?

because women want to be inferior.

When it comes to division of property, Islamic laws are grossly unfair to women.

Buddhism is very clearly misogynist.

Buddhist monks act as though they sprang from the earth like vegetables

What is the role of women in Buddhism ?

What women ?

These chaps are not even aware that they have mothers and sisters.

They say nothing. Women are not worthy of any consideration.

Though there are no dumb and stupid statement you find in the Bible.

Am i asking women to abandon their family life and take up guns and fight ?

No, i am asking them to let go of this inferiority created by religion they are

clinging to and let go of this God. The doors will open for them.

i am asking them to learn from nature. The entire planet is run and managed

by the female species. Women are more intelligent, emotionally stronger

than men and more creative, though not much creative work comes from

them as they are not free and have no time or oppertunity to express themselves.

And Women are non violent.

Tell me which woman would advise making of nukes, chemical and biological weapons which will wipe out all forms of life from this planet ?

We are sleeping on thousands of such weapons

Our world is in a mess now, human race is facing extinction. Its time for a

change in management.

As a boy i fought and defended my mom and sisters from the tyranny of my

father. i have been fighting for others ever since, there have been threats to my life.

Now i am old, weak and defeated.

i am tired, i am very tired.

After being thrown out of the garden of Eden, there was a significant

improvement in Adam, now he could count till ten.

VINAYAKA

This is Vinayaka, the elephant god, Man with an elephant face, or elephant with a man's body. He has many names, most popular name is Ganesh. Business people love him. Shops and business establishments love to keep the idol or a framed picture in the office, He brings money and every Indian artist loves to paint Vinayaka, he is the artist's favourite too.


Please check AAARTI's blog for details.






i missed last year, nearly missed this ear too. I love festivals, though i don't follow any faith, i love to participate and i get some goodies to eat, from neighbours and friends. Vinayaka or Ganesh Chaturti was celeberated last month. Colourful festivals make our life interesting. Nice to see people celeberating Christmas Eid, Diwali, wearing new clothes enjoying themselves.

Life would be so dull without festivities like the good old Soviet Russia, May day was the only celeberation.
And you had to sit infront of the TV watch the mayday parade and force a smile on your face.
EEEE






EEEEEEEEEEEEEE


Besides, people make a living out of the festivals. They generate business. Buying new clothes. shopping, presents, decorations.






These poor potters are making Vinayaka idols, which would be dried and painted and sold on the roads. you are not supposed to use the same idol next year. You have to buy a new one. This helps these potters.












Vinayaga has some accessories, like an umbrella, sold seperately.











Myths and beliefs should remain myths and beliefs. But people go beyond this and try to prove and establish that these elephant gods or gods with many hands and heads really existed.


Like believing the superman spiderman.

We grow out of believing in Santa Claus. But people don't seem to grow out of these myths. People go for confessions in the Churches, or take a dip in a holy river to write off their sins. They sincerely believe that they are coming out clean and all their sins are erased in the hard disk and from the recycle bin.

There is nothing beyond our minds.

Its just a feeling of purification.







A godess with four hands, is any woman's fantasy.

Would you marry a woman with four hands knowing karate' ?

i'll keep my mouth shut always.

i'll make a rough draft before answering any question.

Would you like to have some tea ? My wife asks me holding, tea, sugar milk and water in her four hands

i have to be very careful in answering.

You can't say no.

one wrong move, all her four hands would go into my mouth. And a thorough shake,
tea is ready in my stomach. DOOINK !!!























I was in a village near Salem, this was a sweet experience for me, i started clicking and the priests were pretty excited and they offered us the Prasadam, a bowl of SUNDAL, what is sundal ask Aaarti. yumms. Karthik and i ate it right there on the road. Very sweet of them. You can take pictures anywhere any place in India, no objections. They are too pleased to pose. i love it here.






The idols after pooja are immersed in the river or the sea, causing pollution. Very depressing. The government has slapped a ban on it, but not very effective. Very hard enforce laws on religious practices. Hope people would understand one day.

please read Nasra's interview of Mystic Rose, you would love it.
