Thugee or devotee?

 




A fascinating story from the Bhagavata Purana (Shrimad Bhagavatam) about a group of "dacoits" (bandits) who kidnap a devotee of Krishna by mistake, since they need to sacrifice a human to Kali. 

Kali´s reaction is...very Kaliesque, for sure!

The links are to the ISKCON edition, which is verse-by-verse. Yes, you have to read all the verses...

  2. Ja, det var jag (Erik R). Mer allmänt framstår ju Kali som betydligt förnuftigare än sina anhängare - i alla fall dessa anhängare. Alltså kan jag fortsätta att dyrka Kali med gott samvete.

  3. Prabhupadas kommentar är ju rätt rolig...
