Medicine To Fix Reincarnated Diety

Posted by Ross Rosenberg

When Lakshmi Tatma was born, in a poverty-stricken region of Bihar, India, her mother believed she was “a miracle, a reincarnation” of the goddess Vishnu. It’s not hard to see why she would say this. You see, Lakshmi, was born with four extra, non-functional limbs.

This will soon change, however. Lakshmi will be undergoing a two hundred thousand dollar operation by a team of thirty surgeons, working in eight hour shifts, to separate her from her headless, parasitic twin, fused together at her pelvis.

Surely there is no doubt that this is the right, and only, option. However, one cannot help but wonder what life may have been like as the physical manifestation of a Hindu goddess.

4 COMMENTS ARE NOT ENOUGH

    It would only be cool if the arms actually worked.

    Vishnu is not a goddess, in any of his incarnations. He’s a dude.

    Although the Daily Mail got that wrong too, so I don’t blame you much.

    Well, Lakshmi is the consort of Vishnu, so perhaps the Daily Mail just got confused as to what mom was saying.

    Well, I like the mom’s outfit.
