A 19-year-old Indian girl has shocked people after she sliced off
her tongue with a blade and offered it to Goddess Kali to appease the
deity into granting her heart's desire.
According to Dailymail,
Aarti Dubey, an undergraduate student at TRS College in Madhya Pradesh,
made the extreme sacrifice a day after she dreamed about the deity
demanding her tongue in exchange for granting all her wishes.
Her brother Sachin told Mail Online: "Aarti had confided in me
about the dream and told me that she was going to offer her tongue to
the deity. But it never occurred to me that she was serious about it. I
thought she was just kidding.
"I have heard about incidents of illiterate and superstitious
people offering their body parts to appease the gods. I never thought
that my own college-going sister could be so superstitious."
The shocking act took place at a Kali temple in the town of Reeva,
in the state of Madhya Pradesh. After cutting off her tongue, Aarti fell
unconscious immediately.
The priest and fellow devotees present on the temple premises
covered her with a scarf and kept praying for her well-being instead of
taking her to a doctor.
When the girl regained consciousness after five hours, people hailed it as the blessing of the goddess.
"I was right there when the girl cut off her tongue and offered
it to the deity. The goddess is the almighty and she always protects
her devotees," said priest Devi Prasad Sharma.
Much to the surprise of the onlookers and devotees, Aarti got up
and finished the rest of the rituals, including doing the rounds of the
temple premises, with a faint smile on her face.
As the news spread in the locality, the authorities swung into
action and a team of doctors and policemen arrived at the spot around
noon.The doctors did a check-up on Aarti and sent her home after giving
her first aid.
