Sometimes, somewhere somebody shines a light on a bullshi...r and my heart soars. It's that Emperor moment when all is revealed for what is is - a pile of ignorant tripe. Such a moment dawned when Sanal Edamaruku told a mystic to do his worst and kill him on prime time telly. Shock waves throughout India! After all, this was a powerful tantric guru who claimed he could end life just by thinking about it.
"Go on then," said Sanal, head of the Indian Rationalists' Association. Much chanting,holy water and massaging later and Sanal is still with us. So the holy man says he has to sleep with a woman first and rub himself with ash - hopefully that way round. "Great," says Sanal. I'll wait. And he does and he is, still. Now the holy man says Sanal must be protected by the gods. So, as Sanal steps out in front of a bus...
Reminds me of one about tantric sex being like calling a plumber - you stay in all day and nobody comes. Shine a light, shine a light , as the song goes and keep your tosh to yourself.
