Widow throws party to find place in heaven!

PATNA, India (Reuters) - A rich 80-year-old Indian widow has spent thousands of dollars on a feast for 100,000 people in the hope it would please the gods and open the doors of heaven for her, local officials said.

People from surrounding villages and towns were fed lunch over two consecutive days by Phuljharia Kunwar, who lives in the eastern state of Bihar and has no family or relatives.

Kunwar spent $37,500 (19,186 pounds) on the feast. Local officials said she spent lavishly on the meal because she had no one to bequeath her property.

"She told us she could now begin her final journey and her soul could rest in peace in heaven," Ajay Kumar Bulganin, a local lawmaker who attended the feast, held over Wednesday and Thursday, said.

"She was worried that no one would care about throwing a feast after her death."

I dont know if she will be able to reserve a seat in heaven by doing so but i truly believe that this is a better probability to do so than blowing up urself in anticipation of going to heaven and roaming around in the garden of heaven - arms in arms with fairies.

Hope ppl didnt find fault in free food, . The only investment we have to is charity thats your money, whatever you leave behind is worth dust.

Our belief is different, we would spend in construction of Masjid, schools, orphanage, where the benefit is life long.

it was her money and I hope she is happy. When you get ready to go you can do what you want... or why wait?

Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.

Good logic. I wouldn’t do that, rather use that money for some other charity. one days meal gonna get you a place in heaven?? sounds ridiculous. Indian people and their superstations/beliefs are beyond my understanding(Indians no offense meant )

She can't take the money with her as the last hirt has no pockets as we well know. I would have probably used the money for a more worthy cause.
