An Indian teenager is worshipped as a god because he has a 7ins ‘tail’.

Arshid Ali Khan, 13, has become a divine symbol in the state of Punjab.

Locals have hailed him a reincarnation of the Hindu monkey god Hanuman - and refer to him as Balaji.

However, Arshid has to use a wheelchair and he is considering having the ‘tail’ removed.

He said: ‘This tail has been given to me by God. I am worshipped because I pray to god and the wishes of people come true.....

When his tongue splits and he starts growing horns, mass hysteria ensues

Or, he changes his name to Barack Obama and wins the U.S presidency~

That’s not even a tail. A real tail would proceed from the coccyx right above his butthole. That thing is practically in the middle of his back.

I wonder if he is missing something in the front?

Be careful, there may be a Hindu god that frowns on the questioning of other Hindu gods.

I’m not sure.

As Lucifer was likened or figured as a dragon or serpent, a “sweep of his tail” would be fitting to the figure. This boy does not look like a dragon or serpent. He looks like he has a misplaced mammalian tail.

And yes... due to the pantheism, you will see worship of all manner of crazy things in Hindu faith. It would be a greater challenge to find something they can NOT worship. (Yes, even Jesus shows up in their theology from time to time, according to a testimony from a saved Brahman that I heard firsthand.)

I am sure Jesus does pop up in their lexicon now and then, but I am wondering if it is merely "Hindu speak" like we hear in so many cults. In other words, you and I know, when we hear the name "Jesus Christ," we know exactly what it means, the spotless Son of God. When a cultist says Jesus Christ, who knows for sure what it conjures up in his mind? So, I am left to conclude, that the Jesus of the Bible may not be the Jesus of Hinduism.

All I can say, is the thing that I fear doubt is getting cast upon through you, mainly that genuine salvations do get effected. Of course they have to recognize the superiority of Jesus’ name to all others. But some Christians seem to look more for blame than for acts of God’s grace. Hell loves to blame. God loves to bridge gaps.

I looked on my iPad.....ugh.....it’s hair. I think he is missing something in front and it grew out his back instead. It’s definitely not a tail since it is in the middle of his back.

When I was a little girl I wanted to have a tail with pretty fur I could comb, like a dog. AA Milne even wrote a song about it from Christopher Robin’s perspective about buying a tail for sixpence so he could say to the animals that he had one.
