You're on a slow going relaxed pilgrimage somewhere. In the distance, atop a hill, is the outline of a temple. It appears beautiful, so you tell the driver to find roads leading in that direction. Eventually you find the trailhead, and a sign indicating the way up. You're excited about this spontaneous mini yatra, but its a long way up. There will be big darshan rewards at the top.
Three arduous hours of climbing later you arrive at the top. After regaining your heartbeat, you come to realise that this temple does animal sacrifice (you see heads of cocks, and goats) in a regular way. Being a follower of ahimsa, and against these practises, you have your doubts. On the other hand, you just walked up a hill performing japa and bhajan, and in a way, you're already inside. What do you do next?
Enjoy.
