My kingdom for a horse
Almost wants me to convert to fundie Islam, Calvinism or militant atheist Communism...
>>>The earliest recorded criticism of the ritual comes from the Cārvāka, an atheistic school of Indian philosophy that assumed various forms of philosophical skepticism and religious indifference. A quotation of the Cārvāka from Madhavacharya's Sarva-Darsana-Sangraha states: "The three authors of the Vedas were buffoons, knaves, and demons. All the well-known formulae of the pandits, jarphari, turphari, etc. and all the obscene rites for the queen commanded in Aswamedha, these were invented by buffoons, and so all the various kinds of presents to the priests, while the eating of flesh was similarly commanded by night-prowling demons.">>>
It was the other way around, you do abominable things with a horse exactly according to scripture and then you get a kingdom. Not sacrifice a kingdom to get a horse to do umentonable stuff with. But when i think about it, that would be really hardcore if you inverted the ritual and genocided a kingdom in the hope that the gods will reward you with that perfect horse.
De mer bisarra vediska skrifterna följs ju knappast av någon hindu idag. De innehåller ju också så oerhört mycket text så att mycket, mycket få torde ha läst dem alla. Eller ens några större delar av dem.
Mja, fast t.ex purushameda där människoffer förespråkas är allmänt känd bland hinduer. Så pass att man lätt kan hitta m8derna texter av olika hinduiska grupperingar där man anstränger sig för att bevisa att det endast är symboliskka offer som avses. Tycker inte att det jag läst är särskilt övertygande.
