    Having spent time in India, I have witnessed feats that would curl your hair. The snake charmers use cobras with their teeth removed. Forget that for one moment and you see the result. People also see the cobra as the embodiment of Sheva, one of the Hindu Gods. They should remember she is the god of death.
