ok. hold your breath...
hold it for gods sake.
I WENT TO A TEMPLE TODAY.
kaboooommmm...
no no, i m not an atheist. i do believe in the Almighty; with all my tiny little heart i have. and i do go to temples, although the frequency can be neglected.
earlier i was a non-believer. thought it was cool. many people still do. then i started believing, thanks to my one and only. but still didn't like going to the temple. thought, god is everywhere right? in every tangible material, the walls, the wind; outside us, inside us. then what is the need! yes,yes, the coolness factor yet again. but then, again due to the commendable efforts from the one and only(yet again), i realised the comfort, calmness, serenity found in such places.
yes, but the point that must be noted here is that that the places should be calm in itself. i don't find any reason in going to all those crowdy places, having one minute glimpse at the deity and then being pushed around. feels more like friday night ticket counter. hustling for a glimpse of god? architectural and sculptural beauties are different story altogheter. and secondly, a big No to all those bathroom tiled temples thrown around like Christmas toffees. commercial worship should explain the phenomenon.
another point worth noticing here is that, in case of crowded temples, you may dislike the bustle and wait; but whenever, after a certain wait, you actually get your official chance to pray in front of the idol, you never get enough of it. "just a little bit more" you think when a eager devotee right behind you exercises his right for the one-on-one. just a little...that happened to me. yet again.sigh.
May god show the light to us all.
