A woman ritually slaughtered a little boy on the advice of a tantric or Indian holy man:
Animal sacrifice is central to worship - but humans have not been temple victims since ancient times.
We were met with a hostile reception at the temple in Meerut. The high priest did not want us to see the ritual slaughter.
Tantrics like him clearly have an overwhelming grip on their followers. Often they are profiting from people's fears. In extreme cases others have instructed their followers to kill.

Feel free to share your feelings about Tantrics. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted.
This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
