November 2007 To believers, Nepal's child goddesses or Kumaris can bestow luck with a glance. But when these children grow up, returning to normal life is virtually impossible. Girls selected as Kumaris must be aged between two and four and satisfy all the conditions of '32 perfections'. For a few short years, "all Nepalese people worship them" states one woman. But as soon as they experience their first menstruation, they lose their goddess status.

education is the key. also, freer and open communication on the possibility that each life, including the girl's holds in the 21st century.

I was replying to darwaishmughni who was trying to preempt any attack on Islam by calling it a "very very logical religion" unlike Hinduism. :)

what that have to do with this video and the kumari????? i know its a free country and all but thats kind of mean

A religion that believes in djinns, angels, a personal god is a very logical religion? There is no scientific evidence for them any more than we have scientific evidence for fairies and leprechauns. Islam is one of the three Abrahamic religions and they are the most shallow, irrational and cruel religions in the world. Read your Koran. One doesn't have to look around much in the world to see how much insanity Islam allows. You have to be self-deluded to say otherwise. Fuck Islam, its a curse.

Hey geodesicks, i dun want to start a religion war, but do think before you write, first study something than criticse it, you can say any thing abt ur religion but dont say anything about Islam, Islam is a very very logical religion, it has natural core unlike other religions and it doesn't allows insanity like this.
