The tragic saint

 

The tragic saint

 

Agudengba went to a temple at the invitation of the old donkey. Old Donkey took him to watch a yoga performance in the temple. Unexpectedly, these yoga performers were actually temple prostitutes. These temple prostitutes have a special name, they are called "saints".

The old donkey smiled and said to Agudumba: The religion of India is both the religion of monks and the religion of dancing girls. This is an ancient tradition in India. This bad habit has existed in Indian society for a long time. These so-called Indian saints are girls from poor families. After they reach adolescence, they are forced to sell themselves into monasteries and become sex slaves of senior Hindu monks and Brahmin elders, so they are called "holy girls".

Old Donkey sighed: These low-status rural girls had to give up the traditional marriage model when they were 10 years old, dedicate their life happiness to the local gods, and perform religious ceremonies and pray for the villagers in the village. As soon as they reach puberty, they are married into the monastery during ceremonies and celebrations, and then spend the wedding night with the monastery monks or elders.

Saints usually live with their families and serve the monastery until they grow old. Then, like the fate of European brothel madams, the older saints began to retreat into the background to advise the next generation of saints.

In India, "saint" is not a decent title. Although people are respectful and fearful of them, they kowtow to the ground. However, everyone knows exactly what role those high-ranking girls are playing. The so-called "Indian saint" is neither a queen nor a female star, but a poor woman with the most miserable fate. As long as the family has the conditions, who is willing to send his own daughter away to be humiliated? This may sound awkward, but in the final analysis, it is due to India’s ancient cultural traditions.

     Agudemba was very surprised: According to the so-called tradition, all "Indian saints" came from untouchable families. They had just entered adolescence and were forced to sell themselves to monasteries. In front of people, she has a glorious name to hide her shame - a saint; behind her back, she is just a free "sex slave" of senior Hindu monks and Brahmin elders. Therefore, a girl who enters a temple and devotes herself to the gods is destined to sell her youth and body, and is also destined to live a strange life without marriage. This kind of scandal cannot be hidden from anyone, so why can it be passed down forever?

Old Donkey said:

Currently, many prostitutes in red-light districts such as Mumbai and Goa were once "temple prostitutes". Various states in India enacted laws in the 1990s, declaring it illegal to organize girls to join "temple prostitution." But in fact, the law has only allowed such activities to go underground, especially in some areas of northern Karnataka, where this custom is still carried out in secret. In some poor families, parents who favor sons over daughters hope that sending away their daughters will bring good luck to the family; on the other hand, they believe that their daughters will find their own happiness by marrying gods.

Many Indians believe that although the government has enacted various regulations to prohibit "temple prostitution", legal departments in some areas still turn a blind eye to this, and even secretly acquiesce in similar behaviors. Nowadays, this bad habit has a tendency to move from underground to the front.

Agudemba was speechless.

The old donkey said to Agudengba: Every country has its own history, and every nation has its own traditions. Different histories and different traditions bring different ideologies and customs to fool the people in the name of gods. Let the people live with the devil, and the world will never be clean.

Old Donkey sang an impromptu song "Clean World":

 

In the name of God

The world that dominates all things

Always makes people fascinated

But God is only in dreams

 

After waking up from the dream, everything is empty

Haunting and looming ghosts

Kings and lords are all demons

wizard monk ghost incarnation

 

Believers pray for peace and happiness

Burn incense and kowtow, spend your life crazy

Helpless to blame the sins committed in the past life

Reincarnation and hope for the next life

 

Ignorance lingers in the ignorant mind

Temple prostitutes can also be worshiped as saints

People pursue a clean world

Extravagant hopes are far away
