See to Believe: Thaipusam Spear Ritual

[handal1973]

thanks for you my god that we knaw you !!!

[PinayKikay7]

there are demons in their minds!

[kenllll]

idiots looks like they put mentally challenged ppl for the ritual..

[555andrius555]

yee first somebody made book wrote god exists i make these rullez and follow now and now everyone beleifs that

[mantoper]

veryx10000 stupid things to do!!idiot!

[talentedlegend]

thumbs up if you covered ur eyes most of the time

[000JonJon000]

buncha weirdos

[steelbody89]

@000JonJon000 we are weirdos........ not like you ...got no balls to even come closer to that !!!!!!!! pls remove your comment from this site coz you are make a fool out of yourself....( im no one but your self concious wake up dude)

[hollycrap25]

seriously all of you who think bad about this should just cut it out because this is a believe of those people to do what ever they are doing!!!and NO ONE gets high before going to a temple or to pray!!unless you do??

[AdidasBoy711]

they probably get high and get drunk before they do this shit to themselves

[muthushiv]

@AdidasBoy711 No, We observe fasting and penance. For a month, we observe vegetarian diet. Prayer and chanting preludes this ceremony. The beauty of this festival is there is no blood bath. With all the piercing all you experience is a trance, but still in the ground. No one..not even an animal is killed or shed blood in this process. In a way it is a miracle. You have to be there to experience it. I know many chinese and other nationalities also participate in this process.

[AdidasBoy711]

@muthushiv doesnt it hurt though?

[muthushiv]

@AdidasBoy711 It doesnt hurt and it depends. Since you detach yourself from the body senses and you focus on the God (meditative state), you no longer subscribe to the sensual experience...such as sex, food, taste, pleasure, pain...etc. Plus, there is a huge support system in the scene (as like minded friends and family surrounds you all the time). Most of them would have taken a vow and that gives them determination. Visit a hindu temple near by to believe what I am saying.

[RebenDigita1]

I hope they know this will cause nothing but two big holes in your dang mouth!

[x3jUstCHilLiNx3]

OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW!!!!!!!11

[dream6cold6code6]

primitives under illusions of dogma...you see what religion does to people!?

ugh...

[oobiedoob]

In America, when people mutilate themselves for "beauty" it is completely accepted. In Hindu culture, sometime you multilate your self for spiritual reasons, and it is completely accepted. Which makes the most sense? neither make very much sense. Don't call these people ignorant or crazy, they just have a different frame of mind.

[pulsar150greay]

If you guys think this is ps 2 3 or xbox then god will play ps 2 3 x box in your lifes so dont go against god

[Isak8748]

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy



[laura75rules]

ouch!

[LVF88]

Do they also stab their nuts and get no pain? wtf

[unitedazn111]

i read sumwhere and they said that these guys do shit load of drugs b4 they perform so they dun feel pain

[Keepin1tReal1]

This is why we need to eliminate paganism from the world... WTF IS THIS?!

[sousane]

Honestly,this is insane!

I can't believe some people can be so stupid!

[willuberpants]

@sousane lol i'm not usually racist but they're black people, what do you expect?

[muthushiv]

@sousane By the way, many are doctors and scientists.  We do it out of love to the almighty. There is no blood bath. Just humble trans like experience. Go to Lord Muruga's temple on thaipusam day to celebrate on your own way...probably by offering some fruits and milk. That would do.

[triniboi100]

JAI MURAGAN BABA!!!! I GIVE MY LIFE TO U

[junjunhernan]

we gotta respect their traditions even if it's gross

[igee1114]

the narrator for sure is not an asian and don't understand what Thaipusam is all about.

please stop making fun and jokes bout other's religion.

once u experience it yourself you know what i mean..

[milackk7]

@igee1114 Who in their right mind would want to experience this? Of all the silly stupid things I've done in my life - I realize this is a dumb tradition that serves very little purpose. Tradition is often the continuation of stupid pastimes, and has little of any relevance to the original activity. Some masochistic idiot decided to prove his 'burden' by defiling himself - and others followed suit. Now it's a perverted festival. Only practiced by a few.

[ezekieloak]

@igee1114 No. Check it. I reserve the right to call bullshit bullshit.

You want to find a more scientific explanation than whatever these folks dream up, be my guest. A scientist would surely listen to their stories trying to figure it out, but not necessarily have to become with with the practices of the Heart of Darkness to understand what's going on.

Unless, of course, you'd like to give me everything in your bank account and go drink some cool aid in Gyuana.

Once u experience it yourself...

[emsal89]

@igee1114 this is a mental distor, ı can not defend this you should not defend a crap with religion. If they love Allah then why they do not use their brain to find logical answers? They are just worship to themselves with sadistic party.

[AnGeLWiNgS93]

@emsal89 What has Allah have to do with this? O_o This is Hindu, not Islam.

[vikramganasen]

@igee1114

Oh well, it's unnecessary, all the hooking's I mean. 

[Azemin1994]

if someone would shoot them in the arm or leg they wouldn't feel anything if they dont know pain right?

[Gearz86]

they're spearing themselves with the spear the destroyed evil?

[itsacrises]

its gift of devils penus

[thekarazyshow]

And then malaysia found out what skinny jeans are....

[xrandomxemoxluciax]

they need god and some meds

[Mustiqqa]

What thee?? 0:50

[princesssweetassable]

wtf??? wow thats crazy

[stolenfromthestars]

here's an idea: why don't we make ourselves aware of the theories of human physiology that suggest this among many other, more astounding, things are entirely plausible, before we go rejecting something we don't understand after a 90 second video. let me guess: too much reading? maybe its just too much real thought.

[kristian1115]

Feel no pain?... I saw more than 1 person squeezing their eyes in pain

[youngmoneyagent]

Now that shou;d hurt.

[NecroPhil85]

Dozen of us american who say "this isn't culture". You can't even speak of culture, you got none lol

[stolenfromthestars]

@NecroPhil85 thats a pretty stupid statement. if you can find me one place on the planet where human's don't have culture, then you don't know the meaning of culture. what americans don't have is a collective national history that coincides with a collective ethnic history.

[MrSapphireLabyrinth]

Yes please bring more of these kinds of people into Europe so we can be "enriched"

[oipo25]

they feel no pain?

[thana333]

pls correct ir!!!! dont destroy indians name.....

[Miyamashi]

I'm sickened by most of the comments on here. I think ancient rituals like this are fascinating, and though they seem strange to us, they're really not all that different than some of the rituals we have now. Tattoos, piercings: These come from tribal people, and many consider them art. I don't think this is any stranger or more horrible than those who kill for their faiths. Stop judging, people. They're not hurting you.

[pricelessDragon]

ok...... that looks painful....... just by looking at it.

[tolishwk]

sry but thats not culture .....

[TheBeeFart]

..............................­.......fail

[fjperez27]

this foo

[christyandmattshow]

well done you can berley eat your a mong

[mangoliouskiwi]

There is blood on some of them so I'm not too sure where the "no blood" thing came from. As for the pain thing, it's all a matter of if you're thinking about it or not really. If you think it's going to hurt then it will a lot more than if you have your mind of other things.

At any rate, I find things like this interesting even though it's not something I personally believe.

[SaintMichael82]

they worship a dead god.

[Aggi93]

This is how aids started. Fucking niggers.

[yodathedeathshadow]

@Aggi93 If I could kill you, I would...

[BanjoKazooieTeam]

@Aggi93 lmao you made my day. XD

[cizzin]

@Aggi93 I agree. fucking nigger bastards.

[Dutchn3sz]

humans are sick...

[64KJK]

all i can say is... OUCH.

[hoboboxerjoe]

@Girtrudesmole666, to them we might seem like the freaks, always try to keep your mind open to at least that.

[jamiedister]

seems pretty normal?

[jamiedister]

seems pretty normal?

[RakiMMistraL]

I respect religions but...

Sometimes i can't understand them ._.

[xxmrbloodxx]

Religion = Stabbing face with metal pole!?!?!?!?!

[Laksut305]

@xxmrbloodxx its their beliefs. its century old. let them be. respect the old ones. let them do what they want.

[Mr795137]

wow,i never know my neighbor country are like this

[kamau329]

This is the result of TOO MUCH SPARE TIME.

[thisishowweduit]

[ejaznyb]

[xvietxkrazix]

@mdk124 and they need to know whats a Wii

[stolenfromthestars]

@mdk124 you are the 2nd fucking idiot i've seen say that. that is so stupid that i don't have time to give every reason why its stupid. and i have a lot of free time.

[Keepin1tReal1]

@mdk124 LOL HAHAH WORDUP

[mdk124]

@mdk124 haha the fact is i actually have never ever played a ps 3 yet =\ lol

[D00ml0rdKazzak]

@mdk124 PLAYSTATION!

Get stabbed in your world, play in ours.

[93min]

obviously they dont feel anything after getting high 0:10 ^^

[Th3ba1r0n]

This is comparable to christian snake handlers in the west.

[EdEoc5]

how is this new, id rather see some friggin emo cut his balls im not interested ill skip to next vid

[YourRulerSkeletos]

what happens if one of those spears gets knocked around? squish, brains.

[smabidi]

This a very interesting phenomena. Its demonstarte the power of a human brain in a trance like state. Similar ritual are common in sufi traditions, self flagelation and fire walking in Shia Islam and as well in other religious practices. This is a science and a power of human brain that we cannot understand and explain by our current scientific knowledge.

[TheDeadboyxxxxx]

it is hindu tradition

lord more gun give  that

[khanei23]

@ africerane

this is NOT their religion, ive studied their religion and idol worship is not apart of their religion, their hippocretes

[VitaNuovaRevolution]

ugh! How do they NOT feel that?!

[frodosauce]

Man, as crazy as this looks I have some respect because they do crazy painful things out of faith for something they have no proof of, that's something I most likely wouldn't do...

[khanei23]

these people are fuckin madd, stupid, lost, wierd, daft, dumb, if they do everything, what do these lot take, ill tell ya that its not A class drugs, its something, CRONNIK

[africerane]

@khanei23 it is just their religion, i think they would say it is weird to eat a cheeseburger or something.

[kilati28]

these are not people they're animals. one question WHY WHY WHY??

[deeseeful]

because it's a tradition....

[italolegal]

why dont they put it in their asses?

[lvit405775]

guy hindus are not sapose to do this ppl just make this shit up mostle tamils

[manuel3272001]

seeing people this dumb makes me want them to bring back the nukes. its not like the world will be affected by their deaths.

[MIASCHALLER1]

omg ??

what's wrong with those crazy people

do they do that only cause of their religion ...if yes then that's ...CRAZY

[lawanselan]

hello guys please go and study or do research about this book (vedham) especially 'atharvana vetha) .. then ,u all can understand about this .............

[Jmmalcolm]

[CuteLittleBabyGirl]

[pulsar150greay]

@Jmmalcolm -northing wrong with them dear just offering to god who saves us .

[saybeaful]

@Jmmalcolm this is called religion

[oneheart19]

they r not any thing special just heathens

[kouyil22]

Lord Muruga never said that people have to do this.....we do cavadee in Mauritius too...we pray but do not act like Barbarians...

[corya94]

There actually aren't enough blood vessels to bleed too much, plus pain is actually bearable in certain places, like the cheeks. anyone in the west could do this shit, and they do.

[kamalk83]

go ahead and shit!!

[Xadreos]

They don't bleed? look at their tongues, there's nothing special. They're just too stupid to feel pain.

[TimJMorrison]

"Yet they feel no pain...

Welcome to crack cocaine."

[Masoukishin]

they will feel pain when a giant black rapist gets on the loose!! ROFL

[tosolu]

qienlograo orivleyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[christyandmattshow]

@KEPARATable yeah they can give themselves face vagina's if they want they can also go to medical school and learn that eating shit is bad for you and living in a huge slum ontop of a dump is bd for your helth

[nenamydog1]

[freakyskier97]

Our they all get baked as hell thats why it doent hurt haha

[ghannis]

asian people are diehard

[galgurin2]

Wow that guy in beginning shows the atrocious side effects of smoking plants...not

[darkgreensoldier666]

what kind of drugs are they using '?

[podiodi]

Hmmm... have they any schools in that culture? Hospitals?

Do they work- or just jump around poking holes in themselves? God- What He must think about us humans!

No wonder He flooded us out eons back. Wonder what he's got planned for us next!

[insaneclown2103]

You're an idiot, piercings and older than your so called jesus, and hmm where is your proof about the flood besides a man who lived thousands of years ago but no one documented even though there were nearly a dosen historians that lived in the area where he supposed to be and at the time he was supposedly alive, but no documentation? Interesting.

[wrigley090]

Actually there are several ancient accounts of a huge flood and an old man building an ark.

Probably the most famous one is from Josephus, but there are even non Christian accounts such as pictures on Ancient Egyptian walls. So, you are an idiot and God is far better than your so called 'accident'...... that supposedly created the universe..... grr...

[insaneclown2103]

Find me a historian that wrote about jesus, and i'll become a religious man. Good luck

[LiverpoolTuber]

@insaneclown2103 religious people can still be historians you fool so taking that into account the entire bible is a large historical document

[insaneclown2103]

Where are they? Kthxbai

[doomers423]

the proof about a giant flood is in hills, go to a mountain or hill that contains chalk because guess what chalk is, its millenia old crushed fish, how did the fish get up there, hmmm oh yeah, there must have been some kind of flood.... duh

[insaneclown2103]

How does that indicate a giant flood at all?

Yeah it may indicate a flood, but your also forgetting that alot of what you see today may have been once underwater, but not from a "giant flood."

[Tearmorph]

@doomers423

So its also liquid fish that drips down in caves making stalactites? Fascinating.

The Christian ignorance keeps amazing me.

Also, about the Christian historian thing.

They wouldn't be good historians if they deny and censor history itself. That goes completely against everything being a historian means.

That like a biologist believing in creationism. Its blasphemy against science.

[vasachi]

feel no pain my ass, this is nothing compared to Pain Olympics.

[jay8979780]

@vasachi pain olympics is fake.

[19804273]

they worship demon

[gingergingerginger1]

No blood, eh? 0:14 ... impressive

[LeeSmellyFingers]

wow relgion realy does blind peopel :S

but its cool in one way to see this type of thing as it gives life a more instresting & wierd twist :)

[akhe4321]

We do this is response to the prayers answered by deity Murugan and we display it so that others know that there is hope and all is not lost. Type of payback will be decided by one self and not required by the deity or the hindu custom.

[klas2djdw]

Wtf,, "they feel no pain",, offcourse,, the guy at 0:10 has the answer: they are stoned to the bone xD

[minerug]

Saw that in real life, twice as sick as it is on video

[Lillyg22]

eww

[88stretchnutz]

Crazy mofos!

[derrbarn14]

some of the native americans used to do this type of thing but not as much hooks went into their body. i thing it was for vision quest.

[belandino]

Uh... That's gonna hurt!

[wjong2020]

This event is held on every February of the year in Malaysia, My home country...

And as you guys seen in this video, the reason they pull the hook is to prevent it from sticking on the flesh...

And if you guys think this is horrible, then you should go to Phuket, Thailand for their annual vegetarian festival on September... Their stunt is even more extreme...

And learn how to respect other people cultural...

[soulblade786]

they feel no pain??.. Ahaa wait till they get home...

[redrocket17]

this seems like it would be unbearable to someone who does not want it done to themselves but keep in mind these people prepare themselves in many aspects and they raise their adrenaline levels which would help suppress pain

[Barkon3]

this is so uncivilized. Only because they make this, doesnt make them strong or better. Its let them look like Stupid. We are living in 20century and there is some so low humans, aahhahaaa

[ianmartinwinfield]

what a sad way of living their life by piercing nearly every part of their body for sych a foolish religion.

so they make them selves suffer with pain and bless or become ill from blood loss for such a stupid religion?

this worlds fucked up big time.

[amardyll]

they feel no pain......... they say.

[ianmartinwinfield]

hahah yeah right thats why they dance about like their hair is on fire. and even if they didnt feel no pain why do it anyway?? lolz

[majesticglaze]

I say: Yeah right. That thing is painful. They just say that to lure people to try it but since we're smarter than them. We're not going to try it because from the looks of it; it's not just stupid, it's also painful.

[RagnarokXDSmashbros]

Indeed. Its a shame to what this world has become nowadays.

[ianmartinwinfield]

glad theres someone who agress :)

[BluflameX2]

this is a tradition.... been here for a while. it was always like this

[minerug]

and it's not "rare" like the video description says..

[StickyRice43]

reply to ianmartinwinfield:

heh kinda like how Christians gotta get the tip of their penis cut off XD jk jk

[ianmartinwinfield]

haha thats ridiculous. they cant fuck anyone bird in their whole life then. they are realy fucking stupid.

[Blake857]

ahhh!!!!!!!!! 0.0!!!!!!

[synichi]

my country!!! i love malaysia :)

[M0nkey4mage]

I find it hard to believe the feel nothing. But that is just disgusting to be honest. Just disgusting.

[iloveshuffle10]

i mean no offence but this is quite religious to these people and they feel they have to do it and they dont feel it mind over matter is a very powerful thing to have some people can go into trances i meditate reguarly and i do belive in ultimate inlitenmant so i am just disagreeing with what u say not arguing because i am a buddist and i belive these people feel nothing whn theydo this but that is my opinion and we are all intiltaled to a different one have a happy future

[Tobiasoaz]

everyone his own hobby
