Is Yeye sacrificing animals tho? In some of the Krodhikali temples people behead goats even though that wasn't the original thing there.
Kalima and Krodhakali (Black, wrathful Vajrayoginī) are entirely different. The former is a worldly goddess, the later, well, Vajrayoginī.

As for whether or not she engages in this practice, you will have to ask her personally. However, it is standard.

Whole thread begs a question would the reception been different if the recognised had been Tibetan shaman...

I don't have the burden of proof on this one. It would be up to you prove that Yeye is doing animal sacrifices.

Although lot of these places have been hijacked by hindus, it doesn't change the fact deity worship in these temples have become corrupted. One Kali can be even found from 21 praises of Tara.

Speaking of Kali Ma, a certain other Kali Ma turned out to be a Rinpoche, so who are we to judge? Maybe something similar will happen in the case at hand.

Recognized by whom? Recognitions are relatively inexpensive, and prove nothing. Steven Segal, anyone?

Are you suggesting that the ex Kali Ma in question may have purchased her title? Anyway, my point is that people can develop, so perhaps we should wait and see where this goes before coming to a definitive conclusion.

I am suggesting that recognitions are pretty meaningless.

As for the other thing, you started it. Maybe you should not have posted that. In the end, all you really did was provide a condition for that poor lady to become distressed when she was a subject of justified criticism. You know quite well what happens when you stir the pot on DW. So, are you now satisfied that your idle sport has born regrettable fruit? Think twice next time before you are tempted to throw someone under the DW bus.

I was daydreaming again.....and thought...maybe she will be the one to put an end to ritual sacrifice in the culture.
Maybe that's the reason this happened....sometimes your intention is not what you think....maybe her subconscious. ..or wisdom intuition....had a higher plan for her....

I know....i'm an idealist......

You must have been aware that it would have provoke criticism.

No, dear. Spirits like that are only interested in mortals as servants, not as advisors.

Meta-discussion much? Friend, almost everything remotely interesting provokes criticism.

I think I need to point out that in this context, the waters; the Kalunga is both a metaphor for death and the fluid immanence of death itself. At times the ocean is still yet soothing while at other times it is raging and violent.
