I guess this trend will not going to change unless such people change their mind.

This is absolutely useless.How can such a person tolerate this heat? People who are uneducated do such silly things.

You are correct. Mostly uneducated people goes for such things to attract people. Needless things.

This is indeed bizarre! Especially when several thousand children in India go to bed at night with no food in their stomachs and who may never have had milk to drink!! :angry: Such practices should be totally banned!

If so, in South India, especially during Rajanikanth's film release, people do 'milk abhishekam' on heros' cut outs.

I will tell one thing which is shown in tv the people are treated with blade by cutting them on the head as they are reliving from diseases.

Even I saw many such things. some of the muslims cut their chest with blade on the festival of moharam.

Sorry if there is any muslims over here. I just seen about this festival only this segment. If there is anything wrong in my description about this please excuse me

Yes,it happens in muslims. They devote there body to their god,to please God. This is there way to please God. Everyone has their religion,we can't say much in this.

It is a common practice of Devi temples of Kerala. they take 41 days Vritham for doing this. They walk on fire coal

Not only in kerela, Sandhya, it happens here also but in the name of "JATHARAS" in the month of April to impress God Parvathi, who is called Grama Devatha. They feel that she keeps away problems like Chicken Pox, Small pox and other similar things away.
I think wasting milk is something extreme level of foolishness. I dont encourage wasting food in anyway.

I have seen many superstitious people,but bathing in boiling milk,this has added one more in my dictionary.
Why people ha such kind of beliefs ? I don't understand.

But we do milk abhishekam at temples for deities. Is is good or bad-according to you???

Anything excess is not good if it's wasted. After the milk abhishekam at temples, devotees are offered that milk as "PRASHAD" so no wastage.. ;) :)

Yes, I also saw this news on tv news. This is very strange.

In Karnataka, in one temple people throw their babies from the top of the temple and other people catch that baby who is in the water. IF we say this is wrong they will say that God will look after. It is for sake my baby only. If we do like this then God will protect my baby and god will bless my baby.But there is occurance of spinal breakage in the baby. But parents wont bother about it. Many doctors have told to media this custom is not at all good for the baby.
