she must now lead an unnatural life.

I pity her.

Fool, do you pity the Pope? The Mahatma? The Kumari is higher than the Pope, born into divinity her entire life rather than merely elected to it in old life. She is up there with the Dali Lama.
 
inform yourself about her childhood

What childhood? She is not an ordinary child. She is a living deity personified here on Earth, she has no childhood.
 
do you believe that in earnest?

What does it matter what I believe? Eastern philosophy is replete with living deities who are deemed living manifestations of holy deities. Ever hear of the Panchan Lama or the Dali Lama? You believe the Earth is 6,000 years old and was saved by a bearded man on a boat who gathered two of every living thing.

Think of the Kumari as the living napalese equivalent to, say, the Queen or princess of England.

Let us agree to disagree.

Let's agree that you would not want to live the highly structured life of a Kumari, but then, no one is asking you.

But if you were actually born a Kumari, you could not imagine any life better.
 
there are 12 Kumari in the Katmandu valley, and one of them is the highest.

Years ago i have come across this topic.

Did some of you also know of this tradition in Nepal?
