Re: How Common is it?
Pranam
Thankfully not very common, I personally have not witness any sacrifice, sadly it happens so I have heard, I know it happens in Kali mandir in Kolkata I had seen the designated place where it take place. But I was most surprise that it happens even if it is just once a year at Jaganath Puri that is what I had heard.
I must add it is not so done for Krishna but to one off the Devi
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
