Vatsagulya

Vatsagulya, also known as the "Vatsagulya dharma" or "Vatsagulya ritual," is an ancient Hindu practice that involves a unique form of sacrifice. It typically features the symbolic offering of one's own life or a significant part of one's existence for the welfare of others. This act reflects deep devotion, selflessness, and a commitment to the greater good, emphasizing the importance of human sacrifice in certain religious narratives. Vatsagulya highlights themes of duty, spiritual belief, and sacrifice found in Hinduism, illustrating how individuals may seek to transcend personal desires for communal harmony and spiritual fulfillment.
