A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

“Religion is for people who have not yet had a spiritual experience”

Peco, who just did a traditional Hindu-style pulling (click for another picture or visit the galleries on BME) with his cousin Tiago in Campinas, Brasil, writes, “Lord Murugan was there with us, and was amazing!”
