Superstition at its best! – The goat gives you good marks.

Do you want to pass in your board exams?

Do you have a court case pending and want a judgment in your favor?

Are you a struggling actor and wish to be casted in YRF’s next project?

If your answer is a YES, then just sacrifice a goat and all your wishes shall be granted!!! At least this is what the people in Jhabua district, Madhya Pradesh believe in.

45 kms from Jhabua, is a “Temple” where stands the idol of “BABA-DONGAR”, which is believed to make all your wishes come true, provided you:

“Sacrifice a GOAT + Sacrifice a HEN + Offer a bottle of ALCOHOL”

Here photocopies of admit cards have been tied to the trees, which in return is believed to give you good marks. Geetaben Patel, one of the students of class 10^th, came all the way from Gujarat with a hope of performing well in her boards.

Surprisingly, this place is not just dominated by students, but even teachers, political leaders and many more drop by to get their work done! Approximately 500 animals are sacrificed every day.

 

This shows how desperate people are to get success and instant results in life. People are ready to fall for anything and everything. Even for something like superstition…

I mean just think over it!

How can a dead goat give you marks? Help you succeed? Make you happy?

Sick!!! Gross!!!

Rather than getting involved in such acts, had the person worked hard and believed in himself, he would have reaped better results.

Or maybe people do all this…so that they can get away from the guilt of failure. In case their wishes are not granted or when they get poor marks, they can happily blame baba-dongar by saying,” Baba didn’t want my wishes to come true. May be this is not the right time.”

It’s high time for a reality check and some practical thinking. There will come a time, when no hens or goats will be left to sacrifice. Then what will you do? Sacrifice humans? Kids? Women? Or your own head?

How shameful…

Life has plans for everyone. Some happen, some don’t. If you give it your best shot, nothing can stop you from achieving the best. But by killing a poor animal, you are only inviting bad karma on yourself.

God never created animals so that we could kill them all in the name of “sacrifice”.

Dear readers, I request you all to never fall for someone who claims to solve all your problems or anything that needs you to sacrifice an animal or such similar thing.

Whether you succeed or fail, is in your hands…not in that of a goat or a hen!
