The Purpose of Sacrifice

Diana, not a hindo goddess, but a greek or roman goddess. The same idea applies in the hindu case. If you make the appropriate sacrifices, then the terrible aspect of the world turns into the benevolent aspect of theworld. We have a tendency to see elements of the world in personified form because most of the inter relationships we have with the world are actually social or interpersonal relationships. That's basically how our brain is structured.
