A small village in Gujarat State, India is conducting a religious ritual in which 3,000 priests have begun chanting hymns to invoke divine intervention to fix the global financial crisis.

Bizarre, isn’t it? This ritual was started 15 days ago. Priests are sitting around 109 sacrificial fires and chanting hymns to appease goddess Meldi, urging her to restore prosperity.

Well, if this succeeds, we can ask our new secretary of state Hillary to conduct similar rituals to restore world peace.

Indian ritual is expected to last 2 years. The global crisis will end well before Indian priests’ two-year time frame whether these guys perform the rituals or not.
