Hen sacrificed for India's victory in Cricket final

In Mahendra Singh Dhoni's city Ranchi in Jharkhand State of India, a group of tribals here sacrificed a hen and prayed to god to ward off evil spirits so that India defeats Australia in the finals of Cricket triangular series.

"There is a belief in our culture that sacrifice of animals appease our god and it also helps in warding off the evil spirit," said Putkar Hembrom, a tribal priest.

He said: "It seems that India is under the shadow of evil sprit. India manages to reach to the finals in cricket but loses the final match".

The tribals prayed to god, put vermilion on the head of the chicken and lit incense sticks. After praying to god, they sacrificed the chicken. "We hope India will trounce Australia in the final match," said Soma Munda, another tribal priest.

The tribals also feel that Dhoni committed a mistake by changing his hairstyle.

"Dhoni's power and concentration came from his long hair. Dhoni should not have got his hair cut," said Sohrai Oraon, a tribal.

As two more matches of Cricket finals between India & Australia still remains so it seems more hens shall lose their lives in sacrifice...........How weird!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weird - Religious Festival / Mela

Can you ever imagine a Religious Fair in which people drink lot of liquor, openly hurl swords, guns & other arms in the air, sacrifice goats / sheep in a weird manner & all that in the name of Shavite religion (Religion of followers of Hindu God Shiva).

In "Nadia District" in West Bengal State of India, a 4 day fair/festival/mela is held by the "Dalit Community" over there. This fair is called "Chaitanya Dev Mela". In this fair, people brandishing illegal arms like swords, guns etc. can be seen all around in the fair & most of these people are drunk as drinking lots of liquor during the festival is a norm.

All of them say that they are devotees of Hindu God "Lord Shiva". These people sacrifice more than thousand of goats, sheep etc. daily during this 4 day festival. People can be seen dancing with the head of Goat/Sheep after it has been cut by them only to appease the God. Many time they dance while keeping the head of the sacrificed animal on their own head in the most weird manner.

Later on they people cook & eat that scarified / killed animal as "Prasad". Other ceremonies like Mundan ( Shaving of hand) of little children are also performed in the fair.
Interesting thing is that local police & administration keep a blind eye to all these openly brandishing of illegal arms by the people in the fair & sacrificing / killing of thousands of animals by the devotees during the 4 days festival, all that in the name of religion.

650 Goats Sacrificed at Kali temple

Kali is a Hindu Goddess who is the animating force of Lord Shiva, the God of destruction (also lord of the Dance). With Kali worship is associated skulls, cemeteries, and blood.

In Kali worship tradition, around 650 goats were sacrificed at a Kali temple in Orissa state in India as part of an annual ritual despite a ban by the local administration.

The sacrifice was made at the Rakshya Kali temple at Rameswarpur village in Bhadrak district, about 170 km from state capital Bhubaneswar, Saturday night. The incident came to light Monday after some officials and villagers reported it.

The mass sacrifice is held once a year in the Hindu month of Chaitra. 'Our village is always guarded by Rakshya Kali. It is a 72-year-old tradition,' villager Dibakar Barik said.

'Earlier, devotees used to offer buffaloes as sacrifice. Now we sacrifice goats,' he said.

According to local police, who witnessed the event, the area around the temple's sacrificial altar was soaked in blood. The animals were first garlanded before being led to the altar and their cries got drowned by the beating of drums.

Some devotees even scrambled to touch the blood of the sacrificed animals, believed to be auspicious and a good omen, while some even smeared it on their forehead, an official said on condition of anonymity.
