A temple, or a money making eyewash

We moved into this new house abt 11 years back.. a peaceful dwelling with not too many loud surprises..... and then it happened..

 

One late night we heard a loud noise of someone screaming at the top of his voice,,,, it was the guy who used to run the mill in front of the house...

He was dancing around like he was possessed.. not that I had even a slightest clue how a possessed man would look… but it looked crazy…. People around him could not stop him… he was over powering bigger people with unbelievable ease…. It was different, I’m not sure I was scared… but I was definitely amused.

 

Things calmed down the next morning,,, it was peaceful for some time….and then out of the blue… almost overnight the mill had turned into a temple. People would turn up and worship… and the possessed man suddenly became a saint..

 

It grew and 8 years later, last week for 10 days…. They had the temple feast, which culminated with fire walking .. …. A lot of people turned up… My mum estimates it to be in multiples of ten thousand…. The whole affair was spectacular,

 

A lot of money was spent….a lot of time had gone into the whole thing….But in 8 years the possessed man had bought the whole building, in which he once used to rent a mill….

 

Supply side economics – Spiritual style Or holy man – lets get Blessed…
