Il Fatto Quotidiano: Elefante ribalta auto, sradica alberi e semina il panico in un tempio: era stato portato lì per una cerimonia religiosa – Video

Un elefante ha seminato il panico in un tempio indù nello stato di Kerala. L’animale, portato lì per partecipare a una cerimonia religiosa, è diventato improvvisamente aggressivo. L’elefante ha prima ucciso il proprio custode poi ha iniziato a ribaltare auto, sradicare alberi, e creare confusione.

Solo dopo ore le autorità sono riuscite a controllare l’animale, sedandolo con dardi tranquillanti.

An elephant caused panic in a Hindu temple in the state of Kerala. The animal, brought there to participate in a religious ceremony, suddenly became aggressive. The elephant first killed its keeper, then began overturning cars, uprooting trees, and causing chaos.

It wasn’t until hours that authorities were able to control the animal, sedating it with tranquilizer darts.

Catholic tradition from Augustine, needs Plotinus to point toward a personal, good God.

Krishnananda needs Plotinus to dissolve into pure non-dual consciousness.

Plotinus himself may have refused both closures.

"Samudra Mathana" scene from #Hindu lore. In the foreground is "Koorma" (turtle, Wishnu's 2nd incarnation) carrying the "Meru" mountain on his back as gods and demons tug on "Shesha" the serpent to churn the "Indoo" ocean for "amrita" (elixir). #ama

This portrait hangs at Adamaru Matha, #Udupi #India. Its odd dimension and narrow location made it hard to photograph, but several tries and some digital lifting produced decent result, I think. (Shot on Feb. 21, 2025)

PS: This Friday was (is) "Koorma Jayanthi", the birthday of Koorma.

Narasimha is the fourth incarnation of the #Hindu god Wishnu. For reasons, rage is a key trait of Narasimha, especially early in the incarnation. #trivia

Yesterday (Thursday) was "Narasimha Jayanthi", the birthday of Narasimha. The occasion is observed with pomp in Waisnavite locations across #India.

I of course attended the Narasimha Jayanthi festivities in #Udupi. Of the many people I encountered, two were rather rude and directed some anger at me, which I thought I didn't deserve. Still, I handled one of them right, which is by ignoring them; but I think I responded a wee bit in kind to the second. 😳

Needless to say, those two interactions left a bitter taste in me, but I later consoled myself that maybe it was just that Narasimha cast his shadow on some people that day, what with him having just been born. 😀

PS: Anyway, enjoy this presentation of Udupi Krishna on the special day:
