Last weekend went to Shirdi, Nashik and Trabakeshwar. Visiting this places after almost 3 year and was shock that how come these pilgrimages are getting converted into the money hub.
The Shirdi temple was full of gold. While doing darshan, I overheard that recently some big personality donated this gold crown which cost around 75 lakhs. And my mind started wandering from that moment. Then in my whole trip I was just thinking that what’s going on this sacred land.
We proceed to trambakeshwar which was our next destination and here what I see was worst. They don’t allow us to go inside the main temple. If you don’t want to wait in queue for your turn then you have to pay 1000 bucks..!!! and every pandit is busy in kalsarpa yog pooja .. Whatever, I agree that this is there bread and butter. But when I go inside the temple what I see the temple is not clean. And there is a spider web inside the main temple which was growing bigger. No cleanliness. And people are donating milk in litres to the idol which is simply going wasted with water. And everywhere the smell was milky milky.
Till now my mind was so upset that I came outside the temple and didn’t felt like going back. Here in
Is this what God wants? I guess God never said that he wants gold crown or milky abhishek’s . He wants us to do something for the needy. People donating gold to temples can instead open the school or hospitals.
Oh ghosh ..!! Simply amazing how people go crazy in donating things in temple to please god!!
And then I realised why my father is never interested in going or donating something in temples.
Why my mother calls maid’s children for lunch on festival. Why my parents go to old age home on my grandfather’s death anniversary instead of calling the society people or the so called Brahmins and do show off.
I am not saying that one should not visit the temple or should not believe in god. But I am saying that we people should think logically and practically.
Sometimes I feel I amso lucky ? Because I am not born in that family who just blindly believes and do things which people suggest like : Doing this pooja, donating this, Wearing this.. blah blah
People No offence but I personally don’t believe in these stuff. Or probably my upbringing was like that.
Anyways,. Friends we live in
This is not God is expecting from us. We have to change ourselves and the society for better cause. What you think?
Just we have to question ourselves that “Is this What God is expecting from us?” And I guess you will get the answer.
I have decided to do something from my side and I have started working for it.
By the way earlier I never use to think these stuff. I guess I am growing now :)
