so many contradictions..........dog is also one of the gods. People worship dogs on "kukur pooja" (day of dog worship) in Nepal and India under the name of Bhairo. Didn't this man marry his god?

One day a driver came to us asking for alms, I asked him, what's wrong with you, (for he was a healthy man). He said, I have killed a cow by mistake by my vehicle and this is a great sin, so I need to do something to do the guilt away. He went to the Priest, and who asked him to be a beggar for atleast one week and has to beg from different families. He ate from different families, not of his own and finally did some rituals.
I told him about what I had to share with him but he did not pay much attention. This is how they do things.
