Tue, Nov 14 2023I have seen here monkeys are treated like god ....feeding them with bananas/fruits etc. This is what happens if you dont frighten them and chase away. Now, some ppl will say, this man died in the hands of god....he is a martyr...saint...Om sadgathi...

Tue, Nov 14 2023Cynthia ji . Not every monkey is cruel or harmful. Yes we feed them fruits just with the human nature and yes we treat them as God also... That's our beliefs

Tue, Nov 14 2023Bro, we are not against the belief's of our hindu brothern. Follow the beliefs. But, dont spoil the animals by feeding. They know how to fill their stomach. Their mentality we dont understand......Should know also to chase them or frighten them....if not it ends up in tragody (tragedy). Monkey fever too very dangerous!! You worship them in your mind or in the form of statues ....Lion/tiger is also the vehicle of Durga Devi....When it comes to city, do you run to save your life or offer food for them ? Even elephants....Why chasing elephants? Har kyo ka jawab nahi hota bro. Ultimately, its the safety all that matters....and not by offering........

Tue, Nov 14 2023Hornets, bees, snakes, panthers, bisons, elephants; and now, monkeys killing people due to man-animal conflict is on the rise due to extensive destruction of their natural habitats; this has reached such a critical stage that it's only going to increase as time goes by! This is the curse man has taken upon himself due to his unending greed which shows no signs of abation! Only divine mercy can save people living in areas surrounding dense reserved forests!😔🙏🙏
