Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - April 25, 1972, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg Frie press tuesday april 25, 1972 Kali the destroyer goddess inspired death cult stolen House found again Tallahassee Fla. Keu other Side of town. Charges a v George Bryant is of a trip around the world. By George Bryant the Toronto Star Amber India up the Temple Steps we ran As the big Silver drum pulsed and pounded and called us to Kali. Then we were stumbling into the dim Interior belts Cam eras shoes abandoned blood quickening hearts racing with the beat and the Bells and the tension in the Temple. Arts there through the flames and the smoke and the shifting forms of her followers was the goddess eyes Glare Mouth agape and Tongue spread to catch the blood a severed head in one Handa knife in another and round her Throat a neck lace of skulls. Here was Kali the destroyer and Here were her children. Before the statue a priest paced a flaming Oil lamp aloft offering it to the worshippers to warm their hands and their hearts and their devotions. And they crowded and pressed and cried out in their passion. The drum beat faster and faster thudding and quickening and catching you up in excite ment binding you to the Black goddess and the blood and the frenzy of your Fellows. It s one thing to stand in a dim Nave or solemn Cathedral or a Cool mosque and reach out for Infinity and quite another to be pulled by your pulse beat into prayer. But that s what was happen ing Here in the old Palace at Amber with the flickering Light and the distorting smoke and the wild cries of the worship pers. The Bell beat at our ears and the drum thudded urging us to action vowing us to violence. In our faces was the flame and beyond the fire the glowering goddess. Up and up went the tension to match the pounding and the passion and the prayer up and up beyond endurance. Then As you passed the breaking Point came silence. It was Over. So we staggered out into the blinding sunlight drained and sobered and a Little alarmed. A sentiment i might add that has been shared by More than one Westerner Down the Cen Turies. Hindus will Tell that Kali is the cult title of Durga wife of Siva and that her image is a Symbol of nature s creative and destructive principles. She is not a destroyer of human beings and the Good they say but of evil spirits. The severed Heads and the skulls represent monsters not Man kind. That is All very True As far As it goes but nobody can go through an orgiastic Kali Cere Mony without wondering about the forces that Are loosed. This is not a goddess of kindness this is a goddess of killing. And there Aren t too Many real devils around these Days to be head. An intelligent and logical hindu might Well understand the distinction Between destroy Over the Garden Wall by c. S. Reycraft what to do first to have a healthy thriving Lawn a Good Lawn is a prime feature in the develop ment and improvement of the Home grounds. It is the chief part of the foreground and the basis for All your landscape planning. It enhances the outward Beauty and Charm of your Home. Lawn grasses Are like other plants they should t be planted and then forgotten. Planning and knowhow will Cut Down on work give you better re sults and naturally the satisfaction of a Good Lawn. Grass is an Early starter so let s begin on it now if you have not already done so. Bake As soon As the Lawn is dry enough to walk on it should be raked. This first raking should t be too vigorous. Your objective is to Clear off the Winter accumulation of debris and open up the Lawn a bit not to pull up the Sod some of which May have heaved a bit during the Spring thaws. Leave the heavier raking until later when the grass has started to show some sign of new life. Use a Bamboo Rake or if you use a sawtooth one go easy with it. Snow Mold As the Snow melts away you May find certain spots on your Lawn covered with a Fluffy growth almost like spun sugar. This growth either Pink or White is a Snow Mold or fungus growth which attacks turf grasses at Low temperatures often under a Snow cover. This growth can readily kill the parts of your Lawn that it infects. Tefere is often a Grey crust on lawns at this time. Don t worry about this. It happens to be a harmless fungus. To obtain some control Over the Snow Mold fungus other than applying fungicides to your Lawn in the autumn it is Well to encourage As rapid Snow melting in the Spring As possible. Knock Down Snow drifts and scatter the Snow so it will melt More quickly and get rid of the Mold by raking it away. The faster your Lawn dries up the less Chance you have of Snow Mold damage. Feed Lawn Early feeding is Best done As soon after the Snow goes As possible. When you feed your Lawn before growth begins the Plant food will have partially dissolved and worked Down to the Root area by the the time the grass needs it. Besides Early feeding when the grass is still dormant eliminates the danger of burning your Lawn. Nitrogen is the nutrient needed most by established lawns. Its principal function is to develop top growth. The usual recommended application of nitrogen Over a season is five to six pounds for each Square feet of Lawn area. This is often followed with instructions that this amount of nitrogen should be divided Over three or four separate applications from april to september. This recommendation is made because when you use the regular farm style Plant food the nitrogen formulation in it is readily soluble immediately it comes in Contact with soil moisture. The result a rapid growth Over a limited period Only. To overcome this drawback so that i need1" make Only one application of Plant food to my Lawn each year it has been my practice to use a Lawn food such As Golden Vigoro that has the nitrogen so formulated that it dissolves slowly Over the entire summer to maintain a Normal growing healthy Green Lawn. Con sequently i have no hesitation in applying my five to six pounds of Lawn food Early in the Spring and put Ting my spreader away for another year. The other two Basic nutrients contained in most Plant foods Are phosphorus for Root growth and pot Ash for healthy growth. The numbers of the bag of Plant food signify the percentage of nitrogen pos.

Ing evil in an abstract sense and destroying evil As represented by people you Don t like. But can the poor peasant caught up in the passion and the prayer always make the same distinction unfortunately history even re cent history says no. A few weeks ago in new Delhi a father and another relative held a three year old boy while an other relative hacked him to death with a sickle. When police arrived in time to save two other sons the remains were being offered to the goddess. The killing was done to appease the restless spirit of the slaughtered youth s Grandfather. And the boy s father firmly believed the lad would be restored to life by the goddess. But it shows what i mean. Fortunately that kind of tragic misinterpretation of a ritual is rare these Days. But history has a habit of repeating itself and with Kali that s cause for concern. Back in the 19th Century the British accidentally discovered and for a Long time were reluctant to believe a cult of Kali that would make the mafia look like a Mickey mouse operation. Thousands of her devotees had misinterpreted her Mes Sage and decided that she sanctioned even welcomed spilling the blood of those outside their brotherhood. So they took to the roads in bands with pick axes and Stran gling cords to join caravans and camping groups to slay and to steal All with the Blessing of Kali. Their methods were very efficient. They would infiltrate a company of travellers and after dark fall upon them in unison using the cloths to kill and the axes in religious ritual. The strangling cloth with a knot tied towards one end was whipped about the victim s Throat from the rear so that the knot fell under one ear. Then with a twist of the wrists and a sudden Jerk often aided by a knee in the Back the Job was done. After that came a ritual Dis a Bowling and breaking of the victim s joints which ensured it would fit in a compact grave and that gasses would t disturb the Earth later followed by a mass burial often under a main Road where the feet of passing travellers would soon obscure the signs of digging. Then it was Heigh to and off Ter Leon county sheriff Raymond Hamlin says he has found a Small cinder lock House reported stolen last week on the be Laid against five persons who dismantled the Home and started to put it up across town he said sunday. To join the next caravan All smiling faces and surf edited souls. To say that it was Well-1 organized that it is believed to have gone on for centuries be fore it was finally discovered by the authorities and to have accounted for millions of Vic Tims while amassing hundreds of millions in loot. Is it any wonder one comes out of one of Kali s temples a Little perturbed her cult gave the world a word for brutality that is still in use a Century after the death of the last Devo tee the cult was called thu gee pronounced too gee and its members were thugs a word we be adopted for callous Crimi nals while forgetting where it All began.
