You may be unaware of the fact that goddesses walk among us.
Did you know that a recent trip to the US by ten-year-old Sajani Shakya, one of Nepal's three highest ranking living goddesses, nearly resulted in her loss of stature of godliness?

BHAKTAPUR, Nepal, July 19 (UPI) -- A 10-year-old Nepalese girl can retain her position as a living goddess despite having made a trip to the United States.
Sajani Shakya accompanied a documentary filmmaker to promote a movie about the Kumaris -- prepubescent girls revered by Hindus and Buddhists in Nepal as living incarnations of a goddess.
Temple elders in Bhaktapur said the trip might have made her unclean, but they later said she would return to her life as a goddess after undergoing a ritual cleansing, the BBC reported.
