[FairfieldLife] Re: Dozens killed by stampede at Kumbh Mela
Barry has an agenda, to discredit TM and TMers; his attacks on India and Hinduism and Hindus are a function of that agenda. Would he express the same attitude if he didn't have the agenda? Barry's agenda is to discredit Judy, and anything she supports. If that means putting down the TM practice, all is fair game to Barry. In a nut shell, if Judy is for it, Barry is against it. It's that simple. Who knows? But, what is not so simple is the effect Judy has had on Barry over the years. Now it's no longer enough to idolize MMY and the Rama guy's cult - Barry is intent on being the anti-Judy cult leader. Go figure. obbajeeba: You mean Barry is intent on being the anti-Judy cunt leader? No, Barry is not a 'cunt' - he's a cult leader who went over to the anti-cult side and now he's got a new cult called the 'anti-Judy' cult.
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Dozens killed by stampede at Kumbh Mela
Dear Barry baby, There's certainly truth in your opinion that these are primitive practices. However as most posters here already know your opinions lack any sense of dispassionate analysis. Your opinions are tainted, corrupted by your paranoid, delusional, narcissistic tendencies, this perverted, sadistic subjectivity of yours. Otherwise you would have tempered your opinions with the benefits of these traditions, these primitive practices, very alien to the modern, rational, progressive mind - Kumbha Mela in this case. You could have also presented examples of the camaraderie , the joy, love, sacrifice, friendship, kinship that people experience during this event, the oneness, connection to the higher energy people feel. All religious beliefs, traditions, practices - the gods, goddesses are simplistic objectifications of the intensely subjective mystical energy, this mysterious, organic, dynamic energy. There is definitely value in these so called primitive traditions if one is open, aware, receptive. So your opinion stinks, reeks of your perverse subjectivity and you are completely oblivious to it, completely oblivious that it's no different from the true believers I have seen and endured.

There is definitely value in these so called primitive traditions if one is open, aware, receptive. I happened to be present at the last big Kumbh Mela in Allahabad in 2001, I was there on the very same main bathing day, the Mauni Amavasya, when there was an estimated number of 22 million on that day. In the morning of that day, when I awoke in the tent, I heard a humming sound, like that of bees, made up of the million voices resounding in the background. I have never heard a sound like this again. I think my desire to go there and be part of this event was a carry over of my old TM days. What you say is certainly true. One thing I could say about the 'sewage': The Ganga is much less of a sewage at this occasion than usual, at least this was the case in 2001, when the government put off complete industrial plants from having their sewage going into the river. I have never seen the Ganga as clean as at this time, also in Benares, where all the Naga Babas are going after the 15. of February to wait for Shivaratri, 10 of March if somebody still wants to make it. The atmosphere there, is also exhilarating because of the presence of all the Sadhus, Swamis and Yogis. It's not a quiet place, not a place for meditation, but there is also nothing just quite like it. Going from camp to camp, hearing different music, and seeing different stage performances in every camp. Since I was in India now, I actually thought of going, but then it was too much of a hassle, as I was in South India, and in North India it was actually quite cold. And all my sins have already been washed away last time ;-)

[PHOTO: The I-35W bridge over the Mississippi River which collapsed August 1, 2007, in Minneapolis Minnesota.] Which I'm sure (never having heard of it before) was a terrible event, also caused by too many people stampeding across the bridge in a religious fervor after having bathed in sewage. On the other hand, the poor people killed in Minnesota didn't have the advantage of having had all of their sins washed away by bathing in the effluvia of so many holy men, and thus will probably reincarnate. And the survivors in Minnesota probably won't attain enlightenment in this life like the Ganges bathers will. I stand on my original statement -- primitive people worshiping primitive gods in a primitive land. If such a spectacle as the Kumbh Mela were taking place in Africa, worshiping tribal river gods who were portrayed in *their* scriptures as engaged in non-stop war and the stealing of each others' wives (as are the Hindu/Vedic gods), people here on FFL would consider it rank superstition, interesting only for the great number of people who could possibly be *that* superstitious. But because the Kumbh Mela is in India, which has been glorified beyond reason to them by Maharishi for decades, they don't think bathing in sewage during an auspicious alignment of stars and planets is at *all* superstitious. It's SCIENCE, doncha know. Whatever. I'm gonna stick with rank superstition as the best explanation... --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, srijau@ wrote: reality check, you haven't got a clue about your own country http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/bridge-collapse-anniversary-safe-drivers-n\ ow/story?id=16907710 --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Alex Stanley wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, nablusoss1008 wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb wrote: To paraphrase Bob Dylan, And you ask why I don't go there... honey why do you even have to ask me that? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/10/india-pitcher-festival-stampede\ -kumbh-mela_n_2658355.html Primitive people worshiping primitive gods in a primitive land.
