Forget those lines of pilgrims sweating their way to nirvana, THIS is the way to go for the Brahman who has plenty of dharma but not enough energy for all the prostration and walking. Now modern hill-top temples offer sandal-to-statue services... That's right! Four mostly healthy lower class fellows will haul you up the incline, saving you valuable genuflecting energy. How much would you pay to be first at the feet of the fifty-foot fellow? Don't respond yet--- they'll also throw in a backstage pass to party with the priests. Get as close to Shiva as a Nandi bull as you rub elbows with such Temple favorites as Ghee boy, Tikka-the-hut, Tour Guide Torach, and the man behind the flame, armed with turmeric and vermillion... it's the Pujinator. Don't forget to tip him on the way out. How much would you pay now?
