Exactly! it is because of the huge differences so I have to ask
fine then....i will try to clear ur doubts as best i cud. after all, i may have more similarities wid u rather than those sadhus....blame modern education.
how do the believers feel after dipping in the river?
its a feeling of "washing sins away". devotees feel if u take a dip in the waters of ganga, sins done by u get pardoned by god. u see, at prayag, where this gathering is taking place, holy nectar was spilled after the war between the demons and the gods.
its the belief that make the devotees feel blessed after taking the dip.....althoh physics is not contradicted in any way...no exo or endothermic reactions, u feel numbing cold as these are glacial waters, and yes i cudnt see any sins getting washed away when i wetted myself with the water.
its like u guys pay ur respects to ur ancestors, but u dont know for sure that they are getting/hearing all ur prayers.
its all abt faith.
there are quite a large no of these naked people even though some are clothed.
I dont know why so many naked guys are having fun with their own pen*s in the public!? what kind of ritual is that?
lol......innocent ppl like u can only see the fun in this. as i have already said, u cant be judgmental about the actions done by devotees in devotion. for the naked part sadhus feel that they came to the world as naked , so they stay naked and die naked.
so in india, smoking pot is regarded as "holy"?
yes somewhat....althoh i mite be arrested, sadhus are exempted from such regulations. Shiva was supposed to take ganja so as devotees these sadhus consume ganja and immerse themselves in eternal devotion......personaly, smoking weed is "
superholy"
what good does it (smoking pot) do to the well being of humans?
seems like u have never tried it. consider urself unlucky until u tried pot.
btw, when ur mom insisted on water and u clinged on to coke, did u analyse the magnitude of "well being" brought by coke to humanity ????
I can see they are doing both: smoking and drinking alcohols
i cant....n if they are...let them. they know they r in a democratic country.
watch this @ 6:00 the cremation ashes were collected and then smearing all over the body
aghoris are some tribal ppl who believe smearing ash of the funeral pyres wud bring them the powers/goodness of the dead person/ppl.
