Hindus being vegetarians should not carry out this brutal animal sacrifice for the sake of any God. If Godess Kali actually eats the animal meat then there is some justification to do so. She, neither created them nor asked anybody to kill them for her.
At least, the sacred Kapilawastu Relics exposition in the country has saved hundreds of helpless, innocent animals. That itsels is a great miracle. Also, the Hon. President’s intervention to this matter is highly commendable.
who is she ? Mr. nihal
Mr Ashik,
Sorry if I was not disticnt enough.
I was referring to Godess Kali aka Kali Amma, Kali Matha.
Anga ammata **** kali yakku….
In the photo what is actually held by the two animals wearing orange like cloths(I can’t see it clearly) while one animal is raising a big knife (wearing yellow cloth) and many other animals are cheering around?
If Goddess Kali actually vegetarian,cut some Water melons and pumpkins.
