By Varsha TickooKUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Hundreds of thousands of Malaysian Hindus celebrated the festival of Thaipusam on Sunday, seeking divine blessings with offerings ranging from piercing their bodies with hooks and spears to the more mundane ones of flowers and milk.Chanting and dancing devotees rubbed shoulders with tourists in offering prayers to Lord Murugan at Batu Caves, a prominent

Recently i had a chat with Brett Perkins from Ephemme Suspension Performance about the use of kavadi in their group.1. How you or your group came in contact with kavadi? I'm not sure when I first was introduced to kavadi, I had experienced the usual photo images from websites like BMEzine.com and from body modification related publications. There's a great chance I could have been influenced some

Eu já tinha visto superficialmente alguma coisa sobre play spears, mas minha concepção e na verdade tudo mudou depois do TSS (Truth Seekers Syndicate) da Argentina, onde pude, pela primeira vez ter um contato muito próximo, assistindo o ritual da La Negra e Lau, coordenado pela Angye.A anergia, a delicadeza, a harmonia entre corpos e natureza emanavam muito fortemente.Como uma criança que

It’s the day before Kavady and I’m arriving at the temple around noon out of curiosity to observe some of the preparations. The whole local community have gathered at the temple to decorate the kavadies, the chariot and to prepare the food. My mother in law is a very liberal Hindu and doesn’t do a lot of Hindu stuff (that I know of). She is a member of a women’s club though – and through this

On march 16 I participated in the TSS meeting and enjoyed for the first time the sensation of the spear, it was quite different than what i thought it could be, and greatly enjoyed, i met new ppl, spent a really nice sunday with friends/family good wishes, and vibes, what i treasure most is the new sense."I think it will be difficult to express what I feel today in English I am not just passing a

Today, it's Thaipoosam Cavadee. It is celebrated once a year, usually in January or February, by the Hindus of Tamil origin. There is a legend behind the festival, but I am not going into these details in this post. I went to Riche Fond to watch the Cavadee procession (since it is the nearest place from where I live) with my friend Kishan. We arrived at the river at around 10am. There were

The Panguni Uthiram festival falls in the month 'Panguni' (March-April). This month is special because of the star 'Uthiram' and 'Pournami' occurring together. Besides, it is on "Panguni Pournami Uthiram" that the marriage of Parvati and Parameshwara, Muruga and Devasena, and Andal (also known as 'Kothai') and Rangamannar (also splet as Rangamannar) took place. Also, Valmiki's Ramayan (also

This would be my second Thaipusam experience. Last year,2007, I came never expecting the number of crowds and hectic pace that went about throughout the day, I was disoriented partially by the smoke and incense as well as from the fervent emotion and energy the people exuded. I was crowded worse than sardines in their can and blasted brown by the sun. Yet I loved every moment of it. This year it

Eduardo Chavarria did a kavadi ritual on March 14, 2005 and I had the chance to talk with him about his experience.EK: Do you remember your first contact with kavadi?The first time I saw a picture was in the book Modern Primitives, at about age twenty.

En junio del 2004 mi idea de usar las lanzas en otra forma de ritual, fue realizada y alcanzó el punto más alto con el Círculo de Lanzas. En los años anteriores, ya había usado lanzas de algunas maneras, fuera de la forma original, kavadi. Me fascinaba por el efecto de las lanzas, que había examinado en partes diferentes del cuerpo, pero también por el elemento estético de eso. Algunos de esos
