Devils_Pride said: I do agree with nova.. now a days dahi handi and ganesh utsav has become same as political rallys.. instead of screaming 'ganpati bappa moriya", they scream their political slogans, last year i saw a ganapti murti sponsored by one of the local politician, the ganapati murti was of just two feet, but the banner of politician was of 20 feet... they think that they are bigger then god...

Novacaine said: Aye you Solar! Tut tut... Don't spill my secrets on a public platform! Anyway I was thinking of setting a small temple for my god Jim Morrison - beer for charnamrit, joints for agarbatti, 'the end' for prayer... Ya, KBR and Geet, we (family friends) used to all go out together and meet so many people we didn't get to see often. But it's just not the same any more! I used to like Durga Puja but last time I went to a puja organized by the Times of India and there they were screening people and letting only rich people inside. It's disgusting. I'm never going there again! August 26, '08 |

VintageWine48 said: The Politicisation and commercialisation of religion and religious festivals has reached unparalleled heights in India. As geet and olive rightly pointed out one must worship and celebrate within for the external celebrations have lost their spirituality and sanctity and have turned into pandemonium and madness. One upmanship is currently the order of the day and even fropperites are not left out of this. Nice post.  August 25, '08 |

geetsudha said: i think we all agree on the same thing,that power,that fire,that nature,we call god is within us,i just pray at home,but as kb said,these festivals were brought for a certain reason, and we do miss them,but not like in the preasant way.luckily for me,in uk its not that bad,we do enjoy going out to temples sometimes as they are not too crowded places.and one can sit and relax and do manan too.nova,all i can do is invite u here so that u can enjoy the festive mood in the true sense.

creativefront said: 'I really do care about God but I don't really care about religion. Having said that, I'm not disrespectful. But the way Indian festivals are becoming such an ugly affair, I don't feel like stepping inside the pandals anymore. Gimme the simple aarti at home any day, the way my ma does it!' Gr8 & clear view without fear. I liked your way.   Thanks for sharing it. August 25, '08 |

Bharathselvan said: care for God but not caring for religon! well said . in perfect agreement with my views.Festivals have become an occassion to showcase one's influence on the community.also note Olive's observation- that's what the hindu philosophy says. there is God within you and seek within.thanks for sharing.
