""Thousands of people are pouring into the dense jungle of southern Nepal to worship Bomjan as a new Buddha. The thick forest has been converted into a market following the popularity of the new Buddha boy. According to Witnesses, they have seen light emanating from the teenager's forehead."" Harey ram ram, kye bhanya? Anyway, this incident reminds me of one period in Nepal few years back when it seemed like in every neighborhood there was someone possessed by god. Considering how many gods there are in Hinduism, their presence in many could well be possible. Besides Hindu god is also omni-present. Alright jokes aside, I was quite curious about these incidents that I went to witness one. There was a lady in her mid-life, next to her was a younger lady with a notebook and a pen, and few other men on the side. People were circling the ?sukul? where these people were sitting to watch god take over human body. Everybody including me was waiting for that moment, the moment the lady with the notebook said would come at anytime. Then all of a sudden, the older lady started to blurt out some things that were not quite comprehendible, shaking her entire body, rolling her eyeballs while the other lady took notes of it. Almost everyone in the crown started to join there hands, close their eyes and pray before the lady thinking she was god. People even started asking her questions about future keeping the other lady busy taking notes. The event was quite hilarious and sad in the sense that a lot of people still believed that super natural power could exist in normal human beings, or like gwajyo put, in ?abnormal? human beings.
