Living Goddesses of Nepal: The Enigmatic World of Child Kumari.

[@benjoe3868]

"the priests take them in to a dark room where even the parents aren't allowed to know what's going on" sounds alarmig

[@richardborromeo8612]

Agree

[@heyheyhey6730]

yea right, I hope she is really safe

[@eidodoos]

​​@@heyheyhey6730 if not family relationship, women never safe with men

[@aa6eheia156]

Nothing alarming. No such issues raised by previous Kumaris ever. Also dark room is due to the traditional architecture of temples and houses in Nepal. Most of the interior of temples and houses are dark by design of Nepali traditional wooden windows which act like one way glass window

[@Aayush_222]

Gladly, it is not a problem as the priests are highly religious and the girls are considered goddess. Cases of priests exploiting kumaris is unexistant

[@Hithere-qj1wj]

12:53 For those who dont know, the guy in this clip is the living god Ganesh. And yes Kathmandu have the tradition of keeping two male deities alongside kumari who have to follow similar regulations like herm

[@moneywolf2344]

Going to watch all the videos on your channel. Every video seems interesting

[@robloak]

Thank you!

[@drissaudia1323]

This tradition and a goddess reminds me of the Dala Lama as well. They pick the chosen one as a young boy as well.

[@blkdmedia5279]

The "secret" ceremony seems a little shady.

[@SadhviJenn]

The oldest Kumari. Wow

[@Jasmine-lj8qw]

What didi you do this summer: Oh i was a god

[@katecarlisle8383]

When I feel like complaining about my childhood I will remember this 😊🌻

[@floriduhgeorgia]

wym they’re treated like gods even tho it’s messed up a lot of people have lived worse

[@floriduhgeorgia]

like I know a lot of people who wouldn’t complain about THIS

[@TCB1975]

How do they connect with the real world after they start their periods? How do you go from being venerated to being a normal young girl?

[@Hithere-qj1wj]

They arent totally detached from the real world. They already would have their fair share of experience regarding it. But again community make efforts to re-introduce her into the society, i heard there are counselling sessions with former kumaris and all.

[@antonmarino6568]

Several times I have visited nepal and saw the living godess. True paradise

[@Fierra4everrrr]

5:09 has no scars Kinda made me a bit insecure

[@kuntsoksherpa3032]

It breaks my heart seeing these poor little kids like this.

[@kierkegardashian]

I may not understand this, but I respect it, and I believe it should be protected and allowed to proceed without hindrance. As long as no abuse in at least the most basic sense is not occurring, we have no right to disrupt it. Of course, part of allowing this religious practice to continue is to allow it to organically adapt and change as per the feedback of the former 'Kumaris' and other relevant individuals.

[@ericmaharjan1343]

superb documentary kumari ko barema

[@itshe29]

i hope you can make a documentary concerning the environment. :)

[@robloak]

We did already produce some. They will be uploaded very soon on our channel.

[@sunsetdrivecrystal4803]

lil girl looks so done with everyone

[@NikkiJyapu]

She is not a lil girl she is a goddess

[@NikkiJyapu]

She can't show any emotion like when she cried royal family died and when she cried few days ago it rained for 2 days and in many places landslide accorded and more than 30 people died and don't call her lil girl calle her Goddess teleju even her parents can't call her that so how can u call her that

[@jaramiemanson256]

Great videos! Keep it up.

[@robloak]

Thanks, will do!

[@wizerdjuice9589]

Fascinating

[@Dexy83]

This may be way low on the scale of things, but if they can never go outside, their bone density must be awful once they're "normal" You've gotta have sunlight for your body to synthesize Vitamin D. 😕 Let's not mention the entire population knows when they start their periods! 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@darkage5]

I was curious if there were any older Kumari. I figured maybe into their late teens possibly hid their cycle somehow. I was not expecting to see a grown woman though. You would think she would be venerated even more for lasting so long.

[@Hithere-qj1wj]

She was forcefully ousted by the royal family which made community to establish her seperately as a life long Kumari.

[@mikaelkhan5879]

She looks tired and sad💀

[@NikkiJyapu]

Teleju goddess can't show any emotions if she does something bad will have. For example when a kumari cried for 3 days royal family died and when kumari cried few days ago it rained for 2 days and in many places landslide accord and more than 30 people died so don't call her she call her Teleju goddess ❤

[@NikkiJyapu]

If u don't know anything its better to keep ur mouth shut!

[@buinghiathuan4595]

I understand it traditional but dude, she just a kid. That child labor to me. Does she want to do it? Does she go to school?

[@roodanimation7451]

The decision is upto her parents and her self if she want to do this Yes she get a Personal teacher to teach her means yes she would still be educated

[@maryesama]

I saw a video where an ex kumari said she is now a financial analyst so I think that they have education

[@Aureolinite]

Labor?

[@slowvintagedays5963]

A blessing for others and a curse for her. 😢

[@EryPrihananto]

She looks not happy :(

[@Rampage484]

These is our tradition and she is not harm mentally and physically .. these is not against human .. you should dig a lot before talking ..

[@priyabratadash4542]

Living few years as Goddess , being revered by people , getting financial incentive . And when retired after mensuration getting life time pension . I dont see why its bad for her . People with ideological and religious vested interest making issue out of it .

[@ponnaiahpathmanathan6113]

How are they chosen to be a kumari?

[@Jasmine-lj8qw]

I wonder what the dark room thing is about

[@aa6eheia156]

It's due to traditional design of Nepali houses, palaces or temples. Most of the temples and traditional houses have dark interior.

People are to impatient and over assuming. Here we worship her as a god she is kept better then the king or any government official. If you don’t know the reason and importance of any culture don’t speak this is not a reality show its a cultural tradition where energy, time, belief and devotion is prioritized not stupidity.
