Human sacrfices (Rituals)Human sacrfices (Rituals)

Mentioned in Rigveda, more exactly Soma Mandala

Means praising with some energizing qualities,

And a ritual of drink, also treatment of asthma,

We find it also at later Vedic and Persian cultures.

Ephedra sinica containing ephedrine is a Soma plant

Used as a drink in both Vedic and Zoroastrian tradition,

'The building up of the fireplace performed over-night'

Is Atiratra Agnicayana as a Srauta ritual of Vedic religion.

Attested in the Yajurveda Samhitas, its mantras are in Brahmana

With a bird-shaped altar as a building of bricks, which a hard work requires

With various shapes like mahavedi, uttaravedi, dhishnya and drona

This 'sacrificial altar' in the Vedic religion has a sacrificial fire.

As adhvaradhishnya is an altar at Soma, where something is sacrificed

Yaja is a ritual of sacrifice derived from the Vedic times

They think that offering something into the fire, God can be reached

Temple rites are a combination of both Vedic and Agamic rituals.

The sacrificial division of Hindu scripture is the Karma-Kanda

The most famous Shrauta Brahmins maintain these ancient rituals.

A few thousand of them perform the Agnihotra or basic Aupasana

And the fire sacrifice is always twice daily, at dawn and dusk.

Shakti means cosmic existence, liberation and divine feminine power

Shakti most actively manifests through fertility and female embodiment

Also presented in males, Shakti also means 'The Great Divine Mother'

Human sacrifices are carried out with Shakti, who is there present.

A Sati is a widow, self-immolating on her husband's pyre, after his death,

To guarantee the couple's reunion in the afterlife and indians say

That Sati releases herself from the "painful cycle of birth and rebirth"

And all these human sacrifices for religious reasons still exist today.

Genesis has Abraham preparing to sacrifice his son to our Lord

Abraham takes his own son up on a mountain and an altar he builds

Tying his son to the altar, he puts a knife to his throat, without a word

But God tell him this is just a test of his faith, we are all His kids.

Jephthah makes a vow to the LORD, over the Ammonites the victory asking

He promises to give to the LORD the first thing coming out without his demand

To greet him when he returns in triumph, for sacrifice it, as a burnt offering.

''You shall be fuel for the fire, your blood shall flow throughout the land.

You shall not be remembered, for I, the LORD, have spoken.''-this is His command.
