A bit silly, but still lovely.
That was my favorite part:
"According to legend, Shiva ... once played a game of dice against his wife, Parvati, and lost everything. Dejected and unburdened of his worldly things, he did what many have done since: he took refuge in Goa, on the spot of this very temple. Parvati eventually followed and beseeched him to return. He agreed, and they were reunited.
Shiva, you might say, came to Goa, changed his mind, then changed his ways." |

I don’t know how to feel about this cheesy attention in the NYT.
But one can trust the Spooky NUNS to point to the essential.
Crazy Shiva, taking refuge in Goa eh?
