The Goddess of Yasukuni shrine

I was sitting and having my hair cut. I meditated up TaiWan, then Japan,then Yasukuni shrine. Suddenly,a warm flowed near my chest. Astonished! read in heart continously:Yasukuni shrine. The warm flowed into my body continuously, and retain the same intensity. A little hot. The Goddess of Japan is very good!
Amazed! Yasukuni shrine is one of temple. Why did I have so feeling? The warm means it is a Goddess. Good feeling!
Originally, The worshipped in Yasukuni shrine is a Goddess.

A million bucks gets split amongst forum members if my post (right here, folks) is the last one in this thread.

Just kidding, but, not really.

Shine Sun Not true. Yasukuni Jinja was founded by order of the Emperor Meiji in the second year of his reign (1869), to commemorate those who died in the Boshin War, when the emperor was restored to power, overthrowing the Tokugawa Shogunate. So, the original deities of Yasukuni were the 7,751 spirits of those killed during that civil war.

There are now over two million people enshrined there. All Japanese who died in wars since then are enshrined at Yasukuni, including 14 Class A war criminals from World War II, such as Hideki Tojo, who was found to be responsible for the murders of almost four million Chinese. The shrine's current administration pretty much denies that they were war criminals, saying that they were unjustly tried by a "sham-like tribunal of allied forces." They also deny the existence of "comfort women," the fact that Koreans were forced to change their names to Japanese ones, and that the war was a Japanese war of aggression. ("Japan’s dream of building a Great East Asia was necessitated by history and it was sought after by the countries of Asia." -- Yasukuni Jinja English website)

Taking all of that into account, I find it incredibly hard to believe you are getting warm fuzzies from a "goddess" enshrined there.

Darat, you can keep half of the million $$ if you play the database and then lock this thread.

You should put the hydrogen peroxide on your hair, not in a bong.

Yes, there are a lot of spirits in the temple, but who is the greatest? I remember that there are Japanese in this forum. Maybe they,Japanese, can ask the monks in the temple and find some clues.

I would like to chat some paranormal things. I heard there are two deities who are protecting England. They are "12 Round Table cavaliers" (maybe a wrong translation) and Arthur. In the "12 Round Table cavaliers" , 3 cavaliers are the leaders. One of the 3 is a woman.

Is it correct?

Or organise some form of UFC competition.

Almost certainly not

The number of Knights of the round table is:

13 in the "Didot-Perceval" (c.1225)
50 in Robert De Boron's "Merlin" (c.1195)
60 in Jean D'Ouremeuse's "Ly Myreur des Histors" (c.1350)
130 in the English ballad, "The Legend of King Arthur" (16th century)
140 in Hartmann Von Aue's "Erec" and "Iwein" (late 12th century)
150 in the Vulgate "Lancelot" (c.1220)
250 in the Vulgate "Merlin" (c.1225)
1,600 in Layamon's "Brut" (late 12th century)

While there are specific shrines for specific "deities," the 2,466,495 people enshrined at Yasukuni Jinja are enshrined there equally. Men, women, soldiers, students, government officials, war criminals, all equal. (Almost. See below.) The difference between these people and the deities you are probably thinking of is that these people were all real, live human beings. Also, they are worshipped as ancestral spirits ("kami"), and not as the deities you are probably thinking of.

Yasukuni Jinja website (http://www.yasukuni.or.jp/english/) (WARNING: Contains Engrish.)

Or are you thinking of the 14 Class A war criminals? It's true that in 1978 they were all enshrined as "Martyrs of Showa," and that enshrinement is what's caused the current controversy around the shrine. But they were all men. (aside: It is interesting to note that the enshrinement of these "martyrs of Showa" caused the Emperor Showa (Hirohito's reign name) to never visit that shrine ever again.)

So, there is no "Goddess of Yasukuni Shrine." There isn't even a "God of Yasukuni Shrine."

Are you sure it wasn't something you ate?

(n.b.: In Japan, the terms "shrine" (jinja) and "temple (ji, tera) are NOT interchangeable. Shinto shrines, buddhist temples.)
