"The practice of human sacrifice ... has not died down completely and
is being carried out in many select temples secretly."

Hindus to end human sacrifice practice
By Zarir Hussain - The Daily Times (Pakistan)

GUWAHATI: Hundreds of Hindu monks pledged
Tuesday to fight ancient barbaric rituals of human
sacrifices at temples in India where the grisly practice continues.

"A very miniscule cult still believes that to achieve
supernatural magical powers one needs to sacrifice
a child at the altar," Biswajit Giri, a 45-year-old
Hindu mystic, told AFP. "The practice of human
sacrifice ... has not died down completely and is
being carried out in many select temples secretly."

Giri is among some 50,000 monks who have
assembled at the temple of the Hindu goddess
Kamakhya in Guwahati, the capital of the
northeastern state of Assam, for the annual
Ambubachi Mela, a four-day ritual that began on Sunday.

The Kamakhya temple has long been considered
the highest seat of Tantricism, a sort of black magic
that has been an integral part of India's folklore for centuries.

Mystics who gather at the temple claim they
can perform wonders - make a childless couple
conceive, find a distressed loner a spouse or cast
an evil spell on others.. "We have been working
hard to create awareness to stop such grisly human
sacrifices and other such heinous occult practices
that do not fit into the modern way of life," said Birati
Baba, a 60-year-old seer who belongs to the
secret Aghor cult, whose adherents meditate in graveyards at night.

"We should put an end to all barbaric practices as such
incidents defame tantricism." Last week, a self-proclaimed
mystic with saffron robes and vermilion beads
marked on his forehead almost sacrificed his
18-month-old daughter at the Kamakhya temple.
Amritlal Mazumdar was slicing his daughter's neck
with a razor when her screams of pain alerted
devotees who rescued the baby from being sacrificed.
"It seems the man was a lunatic and we managed to
save the child from being sacrificed. The man was
arrested by police later," temple official Tara Nath
Sharma said. "We have deployed special volunteers
at the temple to prevent any such bad things from
happening."

Earlier this year, two children were sacrificed
in the northeastern state of Tripura after a
devotee had a dream that offering human
lives to the deity would lead him to hidden treasures.

Legend has it that human sacrifices - an integral part
of tantricism - were widespread in Assam and
other parts of India although the practice was
officially abandoned some 250 years ago. "There was
a temple called Kasai Kathi (slaughter house) in
eastern Assam's Sadia area where it was said
human sacrifices were performed," said Pradeep
Sharma, a researcher on tantricism. "But we
have no evidence to prove this as the temple
is now razed to the ground after heavy
flooding triggered by a killer earthquake
that rocked the state in 1950."

Many of the monks who have assembled
here from various parts of India and the neighboring
Hindu kingdom of Nepal say human sacrifices continue
in many places, although such rituals are steeped in
secrecy to avoid public gaze and controversy.
"Human sacrifices are an essential ingredient to
appease the goddess and then get her divine blessings,"
said another sage. "But then nowadays you don't
get volunteers for the sacrifice and hence, as something
symbolic, devotees perform the ritual using six-foot
effigies made of flour." -AFP

They are so screwed up in India. That is why the
Church of Kali, U.S.A. (Reformed) is so much better.

First of all, if you're going to worship the goddess
of death, don't insult her by trying to extend your
life. That's like worshipping Jesus by asking him
to send you to hell. It's the opposite of what she's
about.

A good Kali worshipper revels in death. The death of
everything, himself included. He enjoys the process
of death, not playing around with what's left over.
That's why Kali worshippers don't look or act like
Goths. If anything, a Kali worshipper is ecstatic if
Kali gives him a real *far fucking out* death.

A death that impresses everybody, especially you.
One that people remember years later.

Unlike all those other dieties, Kali is continually
proving that she exists. Literally, *nobody* gets
over. And also, unlike in those traditional Hindu
pictures, she is actually about 5'5", with long
blonde hair, and looks really hot in a tank top, hot
pants and heels.

Okay, with slightly blue skin and six arms, but nobody
notices except when she's playing pinball. She can
also use any female as a temporary avatar, which is
good, because Kali is very talented in the sack.

This means that if she possesses your girlfriend, you
are in for a sleepless night. BUT, she normally only
does that for her Priests.

Speaking of which, if you would like to become a Priest
of Kali, which is one heck of a lot sexier than the
Church of Satan, send $50 to:

Hello Kali
P.O. Box 181417
Cleveland, OH 44118

Which will entitle you to NOT ONE, NOT TWO, BUT THREE
Reverendships, all for the same LOW LOW PRICE!

Priest of Kali in the Church of Kali, U.S.A. (Reformed)

and

Reverend in the Church of the SubGenius

and

Reverend in the Universal Life Church.

Which means you cover ALL THE BASES. Life, Slack, and
Death!

Couple Accused in Plot to Sacrifice Kids


The Associated Press
Saturday, November 13, 2004; 6:03 PM


ROCHESTER, N.H. - A woman and her boyfriend are accused of plotting to
sacrifice the woman's three children on a church altar.

Nicole Mancini, 29, and John Thurber, 35, were arrested at St. Mary's
Church on Wednesday after workers said they heard the woman say she
wanted to sacrifice the boys.

"We could tell this woman was not right," said church secretary Donna
Landolfi. "She said, 'Let's go make the sacrifice.'"

Mancini and Thurber were in jail Saturday on more than $25,000 bail.
They were arraigned Friday on three counts each of misdemeanor child
endangerment. Thurber was also charged with marijuana possession.

The children, ages 9, 7 and 2, were not harmed and were placed in state
custody. Police said Thurber is the father of the youngest boy.

Police said Mancini told them that Jesus sacrificed himself for her, so
she was going to sacrifice the boys to free her soul.

"Eighteen years I've been doing this and I've never come across anything
like it," police Lt. Paul Callaghan said.

Mancini's attorney, Kimberly Shoen, said her client meant the children
no harm.

"They were never tied to the altar, there was no blood, there were no
constraints for sacrificial use," she said.

Linda Slamon, Thurber's attorney, said Mancini had been acting
"irrationally" recently and Thurber accompanied her to the church to get
her help.

"If anything, he was there to protect the children and protect Miss
Mancini," Slamon said.

A judge ordered Mancini, of Farmington, to undergo a mental evaluation.

Fuck Tantra, bring back Thugee!

Thugee was a true a.t wet dream, a secret cult that survived for
centuries, whose members waylaid, killed, and robbed travelers. Only
when the Brits caught wind of it and started a serious campaign
against the Thugs was it stamped out.

Oh, they didn't get them all. Political action committees and rap
producers brought 'em back. Now you can be fucked in every physical
orifice AND your prefrontal lobes, all at the same time. It kinda

overpasses. Its been 9 months and none of you slothful fuckers have
caught me YET! Ah, life is sweet.

There's an Indian Thugee community in Berkeley, California--
One of my land surveying cow-orkers and union brothers in the
Operating Engineers, Local #3 was married to a Berkeley Thugee.
They eat curry and chutney and hash. And you have to change

If you are a REAL SubGenius, you are sifting through the litter boxes
for hash remnants. Waste not, want not. After all, its not like we

That's a great part of the world from which to be UPWIND, but I would
not mind being downwind from a hash parlor for a while. Religion is the
