印度“圣女”,怎样出卖肉体?(组图)
2009年春天,世界媒体纷纷报道了一条神秘的新闻:印度巴特那市一名叫拉西达的妇女,每天都会从眼睛里流出“血眼泪”。一般人伤心难过时,流的眼泪是透明水滴状的,但是拉西达流出来的眼泪却是“红色”的鲜血,而且一天中还会发生好几次,常常会吓到旁人。当地医生至今还是无法确切的查出,究竟是什么原因造成拉西达流出“血眼泪”。但拉西达表示,自己并没有生病,每次流血泪时都不会感觉到疼痛或是不舒服,只是会惊吓看到的不是眼泪而是血罢了。当地印度教圣人,遂将这位妇女称为“圣女”,供信众顶礼膜拜。(下图:如果太穷苦,印度少女可能被迫当“圣女”)
在印度,“圣女”可不是个体面的称呼。尽管人们对她们恭敬畏惧,磕头碰地;但是,谁都清楚,那些高高在上的姑娘,究竟在充当什么角色。所谓“圣女”,既不是女王,也不是女明星;反倒是命运最为凄惨的苦孩子。但凡家里有条件,谁肯把亲闺女送出去,受人凌辱呢?这话听起来别扭,说到底,还是印度古老的文化传统使然。
遵照传统,“圣女”全部来自贱民家庭,她们刚刚进入青春期,就被迫卖身于寺院。人前,有个光鲜的名字遮羞——圣女;背后,不过是某些高级僧侣和长老们免费的“性奴隶”。这种丑事儿瞒不了人,所以,走进寺院,向神灵献身的少女,注定要出卖青春和肉体,也注定要过一辈子没有婚姻的奇特生活。(下图:印度寺院和虔诚的女人)
那个眼睛流血的拉西达,恐怕是个特例。其他“圣女”,都是由于生活所迫,才掉进了寺院的空房里。当然,要举行一个公开仪式,本地人聚在一起,叩拜祈祷。乱哄哄的庆典一收场,寺院僧侣或长老,就要名正言顺地跟送上门来的“圣女”共度良宵。“落花犹似坠楼人”,小女孩明知眼前是万丈深渊,也得闭眼往下跳。“圣女”靠近僧侣,并非源自宗教信仰;而是履行传统习俗。1986年,印度已经宣布:寺院收容“圣女”为非法,但是,风俗是风俗,法律是法律,民不告,官不究,谁也挡不住周瑜打黄盖。至少,半推半就的“圣女”依然存在。尤为可怕的是,这些“圣女”的处境凶险,她们已成为艾滋病的高发人群。据说,安德拉普拉德什地区,约有“圣女”四万两千名,差不多四成,都感染了艾滋病。印度古老的习俗,葬送了无辜少女的身心健康,也为艾滋病传播,埋下了祸根。
很显然,“圣女”这种畸形角色,完全处于社会底层,既没人关心,也没人管理。除了充当僧侣的泄欲工具之外,她们还是艾滋病毒的活动流通站。印度社会将为此付出高昂的代价。目前,印度的艾滋病病毒感染者已超过500万人,如果未加有效控制,那么,每十年,将新增300万新患者。早在2003年,艾滋病就成为印度人口死亡最多的疾病。
虽说死神在前边呲牙,印度风俗依然是要色不要命,各种各样的“圣女”为了吃一口饱饭,不得不走上了通向寺院的道路,她们必须把青春献给冥冥之中的神,将肉体投入那些僧侣们贪婪的怀抱。“圣女”似乎不穿僧袍,日常生活也在自己家里。只有寺院需要时,她们才无条件地报到。“圣女”们招之即来,挥之即去,酷似庙里的“应召女郎”。她们红颜尚在时,定然是长老们的香饽饽儿,一旦年老色衰,便沦为榨干汁水的甘蔗渣子。寺院里宣称:你的任务完成了,从“圣女”队伍中退役吧。留给这个“老圣女”的,只有残灯破庙,痛苦的余生。她们往往成为新一代“圣女”业余参谋。其实,无论新老圣女如何算计,也跳不出命运的轮回。当过“圣女”,就等于将自己的隐私公之于众。这种女人,谁还肯要啊?(下图:宗教仪式上欢快的舞蹈)
有目击者,描述过“圣女”露面的场景:豆蔻少女,不过十三四岁,长相俊美,面带羞涩。她披着一袭蓝色“纱丽”服,非常拘谨地走进寺院里。据说,这位“圣女”12岁就开始为寺院工作了。为什么会这样呢?她家里太穷,父亲早亡,母亲哮喘严重,干不了啥活儿。她从来念过书,也不认字,小小年纪就得撑起那个风雨飘摇的家。要活下去,只能给寺院当“圣女”。好在,印度自古就有这种习俗,外界不会挤眉弄眼地指责、交头接耳地笑话。虽说“圣女”必须跟僧侣睡觉,名声狼藉,毕竟她们名义上属于神,当地很多法事,得靠这些“圣女”独当一面。所谓靠山吃山,靠水吃水。“圣女”吃什么呢?冥冥之中的神灵,就是她们行走于社会的保护伞。可惜,“圣女”的代价,实在是太惨痛了。假如真有神灵护佑,就别让这些无辜少女过穷日子,就别逼她们进寺院“献身”了。
India's "Saint" and how to sell their bodies? (Photos)
The spring of 2009, the world media have reported a mysterious News: India Patna a Mingjiao La west of women every day from the eyes out of "blood tears." Most people, when sad, the tears are transparent teardrop-shaped, but the La Xida tears streaming out of it is "red" blood, and will happen several times a day, often frighten others. Local doctors have still not exactly found out what caused the La Xida out of "blood tears." However, La Xida said he was not sick, every time when the flow of blood and tears would not feel pain or discomfort, but will be scared to see blood but not tears of Bale. Local Hindu sage, then has the woman known as the "Saint" for the faithful pay homage to. (Below: If you are too poor, young girls in India may be forced to as "Saint")
In India, the "Saint" is not an individual face are known. Despite the fear people have of them respectful, bowed hitting land; however, that no one knows, those lofty girl, may I ask what role to act as. The so-called "Saint", is neither a queen nor a female star; contrary, the most miserable of the bitter fate of the child. Whenever conditions at home, who was willing to send out the pro-girl, the subject of abuse it? It sounds awkward, after all, is India's ancient cultural traditions Shiran.
In accordance with tradition, "Saint" all from Dalit families, they have just entered puberty, they forced to prostitute herself at the temple. To others, have dressed the name of modesty - Joan; behind, but some senior monks and village elders free "sex slaves." Such scandals are hiding children who can not, therefore, entered the temple, dedicated to the spirits of the girls, destined to betray their youth and physical, but also doomed to a life without marriage, a strange life. (Below: Indian temple and pious woman)
La Xida eye bleeding that is probably a special case. Other "Virgin", are due to be compelled, before falling into the empty room of the temple. Of course, to hold a public ceremony, the people gather together, Koubai prayer. Celebration of an ending disorder, temple monks or elders, we should justifiably right at your fingertips with the "Virgin" to spend enjoyable night. "Falling Yousi falls from a building," and knowing that the little girl before your eyes are the abyss and have to jump with eyes closed. "Saint" close to the monks, not from religious belief; but the fulfillment of traditions and customs. In 1986, India has already announced: temple shelter "Saint" as an illegal, but the custom is custom, the law is the law, the people do not sue, officials do not study, who can not hold back周瑜打黄盖. At a minimum, half-hearted "Virgin" still exists. Is particularly alarming is that these "Saint" dangerous situation, they have become high risk of AIDS. It is said that Andhra Pradesh region, about a "Saint" 42000, almost four into, were infected with the AIDS virus. India's ancient custom, buried the innocent girl's physical and mental health, but also for the spread of AIDS, planted seeds.
It is clear, "Saint" this deformity role, completely in the bottom of society, neither one is concerned about, nor to manage. In addition to acting as monks Xie Yu tools, they will still be the activities of HIV-flow stations. Indian society will pay a high price. At present, India's HIV-infected persons have been more than 5 million people, if not increase the effective control, then every ten years, will add 3 million new patients. As early as 2003, AIDS became the largest Indian population died of disease.
Although death in front ci teeth, Indian customs are still required to color to life, a variety of "Virgin" To eat a Bao Fan, had embarked on the road towards the monastery, they must dedicate their youth jis Among the gods, will be the body into the arms of the greed of those monks. "Virgin" does not seem to wear robes, daily life is also his own house. Only the temple when necessary, they report it unconditionally. "Saint" who call at any instant, the cure that is to go the temple resembles a "call girl." They Hongyan still, the meat and potatoes of the Elders certainly is a child, once the old and useless, they become a drain juice of sugar cane bagasse. The temple declared: Your task is completed, and from the "Saint" in the ranks of retired bar. Left with this "old Virgin", and only Candengpomiao, painful rest of his life. They often become the new generation of "Saint" amateur staff. In fact, no matter how old and new Joan of calculation, but also impossible to escape the fate of reincarnation. Served as "Joan", would be tantamount to their own privacy made public. This woman, who is willing to be ah? (Below: ritual dance on the upbeat)
There are witnesses, described the "Saint" appearance of the scene: Cardamom girls, but the early teen years old, looks handsome, with a shy face. She wears a blue cloak, "sari," clothes and went into the monastery is very stiff. It is said that this "Saint" 12-year-old began working for the monastery. Why is it so? Her family was too poor to premature death his father, mother severe asthma, dry not Han family on. She never studied, did not recognize Chinese characters, have to prop up an early age that precarious home. Want to live only to the temple as "Saint." Fortunately, this practice in India since ancient times, the outside world will not wink to blame, whispers to joke. Although the "Saint" must be sleeping with the monks, reputation messy, after all, they nominally belong to God, the local number of ceremonies to rely on these "Saint" endeavor. The so-called reflects environment Everyday, relying on water draft. "Saint" to eat what? Somewhere in the gods, that is, they are walking in the community umbrella. Unfortunately, the "Saint" and the price is too bitter a. If there are spirits protects, they do not let these innocent girls had poor life, do not force them into the temple "dedicated to" the.
