Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Teenager ties the knot with God! Indo-Asian News Service Balasore (Orissa), November 28, 2005 http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/7242_1558762,00180007.htm A teenage boy in Orissa who claims to be a reincarnation of Hindu goddess Parvati got "married" to an idol of god Shiva in the presence of his family. The 15-year-old resident of Barabati village in the coastal district of Balasore got himself attired in bridal wear and reportedly tied the knot on Thursday. "For some years I have been feeling like a woman. I used to worship Ma Bhagabati, the other form of Parvati, and always felt like the wife of lord Shiva. One day Ma told me to marry Lord Shiva and I informed my parents," Priyabrata said. Said his father Ashok Kumar Das, who runs an eatery in the village: "I am the priest of the goddess. On June 27, the goddesses told me in a dream to perform the marriage ceremony." Gadadhar Nayak, who performed the role of the groom's father at the "marriage ceremony", said he too was instructed in his dreams by god Shiva to perform the ceremony.

Most probably mentioned fellows are of these. , "msbauju" <msbauju> wrote: > > Teenager ties the knot with God! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
