Goddess Named in Nepal



Hey classmates!


I found this article recently in the Free Lance Star. This little three year old girl from Nepal is being designated a goddess, the reincarnation of the "powerful" Hindu god Taleju. She must have perfect hair, eyes, teeth and skin with no scars. She must spend a night in a room among slaughtered goats and buffaloes without showing fear. She is selected from the lower Shakya goldsmith caste. She will remain a goddess until she reaches puberty. Fascinating, isn't it?

Tell me what you think!
