Godless visas

I know there's a moral to somewhere. Sajani Shakya, a who was previously considered to be divine has lost her claim to divinity because she made a visit the United States in order to film a TV documentary. Incidentally, this is no criticism of the United States: her offence was leaving Nepal to travel to any other country.

nepal is a small country rich in its natural and cultural heritage .the Kumari the living goddess has always interested people as she stands as a living culture of nepal.the goddess making a visit to america is really good because i am happy to learn that people there in america are interested in nepali culture and through the document they have come to know about the nepali culture closely. she has not only served her purpose as a divine goddess but also a cultural ambassador of nepal.
and the thought that she is no longer divine because she visited a foreign country is totally baseless.
we are proud of our country our tradition and we still have faith in the living goddess Kumari.

I guess she never read Lost Horizon by James Hilton or saw the movie. She's lucky, she only became a mere mortal when she crossed the border, in the movie when Maria left Shangri-La, she died of extreme old age. I'm surprised nobody in any of the media I saw even mentioned this reference, it seems so appropriate.
