We’re a society steeped in cruel acts, and gory displays of those cruel acts.
Worse, there are people who may defend the barbarism (Gatekeeper, where are you?)

I agree – more important – I just winder how / why Carcasses be displayed on roads – even if it is Meat shop. If we need to improve , it just need not be through better cars or bikes.

Mysorean,
I do condemn this. But animal sacrifice is far more than stringing a hen on a pole. It has more politics to it than what comes out in this picture.

Dear All,
I think we should take it easy–I have seen far worse in Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and China. This is nothing! Also, far better to develop a strong non-squeamish attitude to scenes such as these. One means scene of meat and a sorry plight is another man’s delight! Just take a philosophical view and move on.
Imagine a scenario where Indian businessmen or diplomats are on their way to a crucial meeting in Beijing–and if the Chinese know the squeamishness of us Indians in advance they will ensure that the Indians will get to see the animal carcasses hung in their gory glory en route to the forbidden city Great Palace–and guess what Indians will lose without a fight after having been easily succumbed to these ‘disgusting’ scenes:)

Animal sacrifice is a way of Hindu life – sanctioned or not, whether the Brahmins like it or not!

To please the godess do you have to sacrifice something? Is’nt good karma enough? I see a lot of brahmin bashing in the press. Some of it justified some not. How can the religious leaders keep out large sections of population from temples, even though they follow the same religion,the village leaders keep out some people from village society. Does the Hindu religion have a social message?
Priests are just performing the everyday rituals. Who are the leaders of religion?
What do the heads of Shankar mutta and other muttas have to say about the current state of affairs of religion?
I have an interesting story about Mooguru karnataka smartha brahmins. When Adi Shankaracharya was touring India spreading Advita he had a premonition that his mother was ill. He came back to Kalady to see her. She was ill and soon passed away. Shankaracharya wanted to perform the last rites but since he had become an ascetic it was forbidden for him to that. He cursed the brahmins who prevented him from moving his mothers body to the cremation ground, that they would loose thier brahmanatva and kind of banished them from rest of the brahmins. Some of these brahmins relatives lived in chamrajnagar and other parts of tamilnadu, they asked shankaracharya to forgive them. He relented saying when the33rd pontiff took charge at sringeri peetha they would be considered equal to other brahmins and be seated in saha pankti bhojana. And so it happened about 1100 years later with official circular and everything with the sign of the mysore maharaja. A lot of people kept this and they say there is one at sharadaniketan,mysore,mooguru karnataka brahmana sangha.
Everyone wants to be in the folds of religion/society and the religious leaders exclude entire generations, communities.Even the gods were more mercyfull in their curses. No wonder so many converted to Buddhism, (which shankara reversed) and latter Islam (not everyone was forced) and more recently Christianity. Is Hinduism a catholic religion? Any reforms from within the religion or is everything from outside social reformers?

Does anybody who visits this blog(some visitors seem quite knowledgeable) have any more information/clarification about the story I just posted? Please share as I am trying to find out more. It is a very curious and unusual story, I was shocked when I first read it in wikipedia and have not confirmed it with anyone since. I am myself mooguru karnataka smartha, hence even more curious.
Moodu Nambike gaLu ..Whether you hang a sacrificed chicken from tree or
Banish some people from not entering temple , Not allow/serve food in some temple or you start discriminating based on whether you have Janwaara around you or can do sandhyavandhanae .
It is all blind faith . Why should even Shankara or a Madhwa make their own sect ..why couldnt they unite everyone . I always thought Purandara daasa , kanaka daasa or a Basavanna were better off in uniting the castes . Recently Kurubas started identifying with Kanaka daasa and Basavanna started only for Lingayath . People are forgetting the wholistic picture but narrowing on blind faiths .

very disturbing scene.. there are efforts going on to stop this menace in North Karnataka in recent years.. there are some positive results.
A time will come when human carcasses will be displayed like this, if this civilisation of greed and ever increasing comforts continues.

To see, it is really painfull. But in the ancient period it was a food chain system. Each animal was depended on another animal for its food. Now we are civilized so we know that it is harmful. Please once if it is possible just watch how cat kills rat. That time we will say that these photos are better than that. Ofcourse, I will agree we are educateds, animals are not. How Americans killed Sadam?
We are all good, silent spectators.Nobody wants to come forward to Bell the cat.We all want to do something ….but……
We all know the atrocities, the cruelties,….. but still, we are all wonderful actors and pretend to be blind.
We like to remain a part of this system rather to cleanup the system.Great Sanathana Dharma Bharathiyas to say,never make an attempt to know about it but ready to follow if a Westerner follows it.I don’t know when ,we all wakeup.Sorry, I don’t mean to hurt.
