Spanish woman possessed by Kali

 

"The goddess will not ask you for your passport. If you are present, she will find you". 

A Spanish woman recently went viral when she was "possessed by Kali" at a traditional Hindu festival in southern India. The content-creator has a supranaturalist (or supranaturalist-sounding) explanation for the incident. 

It struck me that Hindu temples - and many other religious buildings - might be built in such a way that alternate states of consciousness may be triggered naturally. Which of course doesn´t disprove that they may also be "spiritual". 

Of course, a more prosaic explanation is that the Spanish woman wanted to "go native". I mean, she was wearing a red sari, had adopted a part-Indian name, and was interested in Hindu spirituality. A skeptical British reporter getting possessed by Ma Kali might have been more interesting...
