Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Dear Bhaskar ji, Shamanism is not only present in USA and other countries but also widely practiced and present in India from time immemorial. Every oracle or the person who would speak to us in temples etc as if the god is inside him, is a Shaman. The words may differ - they call him shaman and we the priest etc. May be the word priest is not apt - in malayalam we call it "Tulli parayuka"... jump, dance and say/speak in trance as if god is within him. We can see this in several special occasions in temples or at times it just happen naturally without any preperation. So the point is people of different cultures call it by different names - but Shamanism is a worldwide phenomena.
