Eunuch devi
A British man has reportedly moved to Gujarat and is blessing devotees of a eunuch deity. But the existing eunuchs at the temple grouse that Steve Cooper of Tooting still has all his equipment:
‘Some Gujaratis in London, noticing Stephen’s eunuch-like body language and behaviour, helpfully told him about the Bahucharaji temple’… ‘He even got a printout of the picture of the goddess and showed to a tattoo artiste and got a similar image tattooed on his left arm’…
A group of pilgrims notice her and flock to her, seeking blessings just as they do from other eunuch devotees of Goddess Bahucharaji. Without hesitation, Pamela blesses them - in the ritualistic manner of putting the third finger on the forehead of the devotee…
… some pilgrims give her money as offerings - from Rs.10 to even Rs.500. Pamela does not refuse, but usually donates the amount to the temple… ‘Pamela gets up early in the morning. She attends all artis in the temple. Also, she has become a pure vegetarian. She eats Gujarati food in the temple dinning hall…’
[Pamela] is here on a six-month visa… [Link]
Devotees are flocking to Pamela/Steve:
Another woman, Rekha, said she had travelled for days to be blessed by Steve. She added: “My sister-in-law came here and she got pregnant immediately.
“I am hoping the same will happen for me after receiving the blessing of the goddess.” But last night Steve’s stunned brother Justin Cooper said: “He’s just an ordinary guy…”
A eunuch called Sudha said: “He is a fake. I checked and he still has a penis. He is a male so can’t be a goddess. He shouldn’t give blessings.” Steve, who has a tattoo of the goddess on his arm, just insisted: “I am both male and female…”
Followers of the goddess Bahucharaji Mata believe she was once a princess who castrated her husband because he showed no interest in sex. [Link - tabloid]
Cooper is now selling to Indians what they’ve been selling to the West for decades.
Adding to the intrigue over the carpetbagger (not rug muncher), the iconic representation of Bahucharaji Devi shows her riding a cock.

my goodness gracious…
i don’t even know where to begin with this.
I’m a huge fan of hers…..oh wait….that’s not Tilda Swinton.
<sighing loudly>
So now they’re outsourcing eunechs! How cool is that?
Hmmm…I wonder if the “eunuch” granted this boon behind closed doors ?
Um,
Look at that picture closely. What’s that lady checking with her hand there? Wake up, folks.
This posting is disgusting, her name is Pema, she has never called herself ‘Pamela’, nor has she ever charged for blessing. She donates all her money that is freely given to the Temple Trust, to Ram Roti (feeds hungry people) and a proportion to complete building work on a new roof at a Becharaji school. Also she has never had nor has a boyfriend, neither does she stay in a ’spartan’ room, I’ve seen the living conditions at guest house mataji and to put it mildly her living conditions are quite basic, 1 room with a squat toilet attached is the best she gets. Also she is not even from Tooting, London, UK, this all contrary to most of the press reports I’ve read. She came to India, blessed thousands of Gujarati Hindus and this is how she is thanked, by these disrespectful obscene remarks, I wouldn’t even treat a paying guest with this contempt let alone a Mataji.
She say’s she sees god in Indian, Hindu people, that when she touches them she connects with the god inside them. I have never met any English person before whom sees god in Indian people. Masculine and Feminine forces exist within all in varying degrees, I don’t personally see the big deal. tell me why do people see bahucharaji on her, she looks nothing like the picture, if all is illusion then i’d place my money on which one is real. Nevermind not that it all matters now, she has since been missing from the temple for the last 2 months, people are not expecting her to return, I hope this all makes you very happy. If anyone has any questions about her stay I suggest they go and talk to the main Poojari at the main Bahucharaji temple in Becharaji, Gujarat.
