Spikes Piercing Faces Thaipusam Malaysia Without Borders

[handal1973]

bad religion ! why they moving their tunges to have a sex???

[decraziness]

@4everGreenAndGold206 but the thing is they are not tweakers

[Soulja4islam]

They aren't in a trance, they sniffin crack, that's what it really is

[Soulja4islam]

These mutha fuckas are on crack

[limewirevampire]

so theres all the people doing the rituals

but what about all the spectators how come they're not joining in?

[decraziness]

@limewirevampire the people who do the rituals are the ones that make a vow to the Gods. the other people who come there are there to pray.

[Sailorgal209]

Well done guys. Good narations on the the festival in Batucaves. Being a Singaporean its nice to know how the festival went in Malaysia. Thanks :)

[matrixman5]

Friends, no more arguments about ones religion please. We are human beings who can think and act.

Millions of people around the world pray on this Thaipusam day. Its about Hindus religion and believes. We should respect our own and other religions too. All Gods irrelevant to religions teach us to respect other religions and to have a high moral values.

So, lets drop the arguments and lets learn the whole new and borderless culture thru openness of mind and heart.

God bless us.

[alorsonedanse]

I'd like to clear up one thing: thaipusam does not celebrate the birth of hindu god muruga, but celebrates the day he was presented his vel (trident) by the goddess parvati to defeat the demon surapadman

[dida079]

well the craziness is coming from them being celibate im guessing LOL

[whiskey4u2]

in my own opinion, this doesn't make any sense , i think they r worshipping devil.

[MrDonNz1]

Worlds worst bleave and worst humen...110 % Satanic acts. May (swt) guide them to right way of life. They cant even hold them selfs to this worst punishments. in my view Sofisim is better then this evil acts.

[havrist1]

honestly this looks like a dirty animal parade

[showtimeband85]

mY OWN OPINION-----THAT LOOKS EVIL, SATANIC, WICKED.....

[RedMoonSheWolf]

I WOULD LOVE TO WITNESS THIS EVENT!!! I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FASCINATED BY INDIA'S CULTURE!!!

[ak86ak1]

madness insane indian

[selebet77]

@ak86ak1

hey! respect others religion and faith! 1Malaysia!

[Harvey744]

Oh nono its not the video it is some of the comments on the video

[Harvey744]

Dudes we respect your religion and culture of the western world so please respect the Hindu's in they way of worship, this is a form of penance and worship in Hinduism and its not inviting demons into out bodies but the god himself its a form of holy worship you have your belief and we have ours so please be more respectful

[lyndonwiebe]

Sorry if you felt that we were disrespectful. If you watch all of our videos you will find out that we are not. Everything we said in our naration was researched in full so maybe there is a mistake somewhere along the way but that does not mean that we disrespect your religion!

[vishwabhole]

yes i agree with you. i felt that there was nothing wrong in what you guys said even tough i am a hindu myself. it is natural for westerners to e shocked cause its the first time your seeing the festival. but i found that you guys were respectfull and did a good job of filming.

[lyndonwiebe]

Thanks vishwabhole! yes you are right, it was complete shock and sonly an obseravtion of what we thought at the time of filming. We think the religion is absolutely beautiful and have nothing but respect for it! Take care and we are glad you saw our point of view! :)

[vishwabhole]

you are most welcome : )

[MsVeshalini]

@vishwabhole nice vedio

[Xendrius]

@Harvey744 Demons, no gods, pure 100% demons, and those in the occult know it, this is why this only occurs in non christian countries.

[lingesh1234]

hi guys, Hope u remember us when u was in malacca and taken our video while breaking coconut, thanks for the video......

Hope u will back to malaaca ...... cheers

[lyndonwiebe]

Hey!! Of course we remember you! I am glad you remembered us! Thanks for an unforgettable time in Melaaca! It is experiences like that which making travelling all worth while. We will definately be back! And eventually might edit a whole segment on the part with you!

[avalanchesoul]

was suppose to go in '07 to participate, unfortunately it did not happen, though, i have participated in similar ritual. i was really bummed as the butterflies in my stomach grew so strong as the time approached. some day.

y'know the difference between tourists and travellers? putting the camera away and taking part. it would not have been frowned upon for you to do so, the way you were told not to film multiple times.

[jasim002]

its looks super great but whts the all about...?seems like crazy things,,,..

[mpunkt79]

No words to comment on this one...Ok, just one: Awesome!

[lyndonwiebe]

Thanks mate! Whens your next vid coming up?

[mpunkt79]

Good question, no answer yet ;)

[babahax]

It's called being demon possessed. They invite the demons into their bodies to control them, just have a look at their eyes and the way they move.

[piartsontour]

What some might call bizarre acts of devotion" ... You don't say.

Nearly as bizarre as Chad's hair in this clip. What's going on there Chad? Clayton will have to take you back to the Piss salon.

100% Independent, 100% Real. 100% Awesome clip gents.

[lyndonwiebe]

Haha! You are hillarious! Honestly I was so close to getting my head shaved there.... Yes I know I have a problem with my hair!

Cheers

[hilarygrowls]

The quality of these videos are geting better everytime.

Hils

[lyndonwiebe]

Thanks Hil! Lng time no see! Whats new?

[jasongathers]

I don't really understand why they pierce their faces. It looks like it would hurt, yet they are not bleeding.

[TanjongTiram]

This is a ancient Dravidian ritual n is unique 2 Tamils Hindus, particularly the sect worshipping Lord Murugan.(believed to b Tamil saviour God) This ancient ritual dates back 5000 yrs. Ancient Tamil literature f described this body peircing and frenzied dancing ritual.

Reason for piercing - only tongue piercing is believe to re-awaken the spiritual nerves. But now they pierce all over the body

[lyndonwiebe]

Thanks so much! I wish I could answer these questions a bit more myself. But you are an expert!!

Take care!

[paulafranklins]

[chrissywinkler]

[TheMichaelcarmichael]

We didn't see the festival when we were there. Do you know if they do this every year, and if so when?

[TanjongTiram]

Annually, falls in January or Feb depending on the month and star positioning.. Thai (month) Pusam (star)

[SuperRobmiller]

Fine job boys...fine job.lol

[ellybarker1]

I have been there before. You guys did it justic, you're just missing the 1,2,3,4,5. and the other brainwashing music. Pretty sweet though

[dwetherspoon]

Great shots! Weren't you guys scared to go into those caves with all those maniacs?

[lyndonwiebe]

No way! It was one of the most memorable experiences of our lifetime!

[aoifebeefe]

How many people came to the festival? Looks like a lot of people to be goin into trances. Do they all go into them or just a few of them?

[lyndonwiebe]

I think there was over 2 million last year....

Not too sure though. Some go a bit more craz than others

[sanmiguellight1]

They have this festival in india, but is it more popular in Malaysia?

[TanjongTiram]

Most popular Tamil disapora Festival in Malaysia ( Batu Caves and Penang ) Singapore and Mauritius

[lyndonwiebe]

yes... what HE said!

[lyndonwiebe]

Batu caves, Malaysia is the most popular place to go for the festival.

[jonnybgood1000]

This is by far the best Thaipusam video that i have seen to date.

[TheShawncook]

Have heard of this festival before. looks like a helluva time. Not for the faint of heart I take it.

[TheSaramiller]

No drugs my ass. Somebody spiked the punch.

[hairytrigger1]

How come there is no blood when they pierce their skin?

[lyndonwiebe]

Well thats something noone can answer

[jamesgross1]

I couldn't believe my eyes. That is awesome guys.

[jasonrock541]

Video flows smoothly, good choice of music, Was the guy screaming when he had those giant meathooks put through his body?

[lyndonwiebe]

I really dont think they feel pain

[lisapersia]

I thought the Vietnam video was meant to be next. This one rocked anyway.

[johncox1977]

Boys they keep getting better. Looks a little more painful than the nipple I just got pierced.

[philklassen]

Oh my god, that looks so painful.

[sheilaclarke]

Looked like a lot of fun. Nice shots you really have no problem getting right up in their faces. good work

[alisonjanson]

That indian guy in the video is really cute. He looked like he was in a lot of pain.

[rileythompsons]

No way never even heard of something like thsi before. Where did you hear about it?

[rickbastle]

Do they have this celebration in India?

[robertbannister]

Awesome video, but there is no cooking in this one.

[bobbygulu]

I can't believe that goes on in Malaysia. That is amazing! What an expierience.
