I was very intrigued by sikism and their open and inclusive philosophy for example. A house of god should be for all humans, and be between the person and the god(s) he/she believe in..

The last thing I did was going to the Buddhist temple for new year and that lasted few minutes. <br />I think everyone has a different god inside themselves.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13346034896296813841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791764762248949455.post-57727058403841122682014-04-08T18:37:33.369+05:302014-04-08T18:37:33.369+05:30I so agree with you.

If you're a Christian and no one knows that, you can still enter the temples ! So what's the point in the restriction at all ? The focus should be on devotion, not ncessarily on the religion !Sreeja Praveenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880818733065823251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791764762248949455.post-23027900473976100922014-04-08T13:44:33.418+05:302014-04-08T13:44:33.418+05:30You know I never understood the hoopla around pray...You know I never understood the hoopla around praying or doing pujas because everyone wants it do be done...Making the show...I prefer praying in quite and not for show... That's why the only temple I love in the whole wide world is a small shiva temple hidden in the hilly stretch between Guwahati to Shillong...It's so small and nobody goes there actually..I find peace there...

Having said that I don't Need to go anywhere as my personal prayer room is inside my own self. I believe that religions have been made to give people a way to live a peaceful life and the Energy that makes everything run n flows through everything is termed God for the need of a solid object on which to focus our faith. Gods faces are different, depending on the region in which that religion was developed. <br />It is a childish notion to think there are various heavens with varied faced Gods sitting there, this Energy has to be One.<br />Again, I'm not saying what others believe is wrong, there are so many sides to each thing. In the same way all beliefs are fine as long as we are putting other beliefs down, hurting, converting, coercing etc.Sunilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15691961314381713993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791764762248949455.post-52251811547315454172014-04-08T13:30:30.208+05:302014-04-08T13:30:30.208+05:30I completely agree and I loved your post!!!

After hours of waiting in line and jostling in the crowd, when finally it was time for Darshan we hardly got few seconds, Just as I folded my hands in prayer and bowed my head I was pushed aside by the pundit asking me not to block the line. I never felt the devotion or that peace that comes from going to a temple. I love going to temples which are far less crowded where I can sit silently and pray to Him.

In fact I go to the puja room only some days but when I do I am completely at peace. Initially my husband used to question my faith in God but after several years he has come to understand me. Truth is every fanatic will attack you when you claim that you believe in something different.

But I do believe that one goes to the place of worship because of the tranquility felt inside it. A sense of calm and peace. Now imagine this, you are sitting at your place and you hear a bell ringing. It could be an ice-cream cart passing by but it irks you. Now imagine you are inside a temple and you hear the same bell, its the chime from the temple. Doesn't irk you but actually makes you more peaceful. Perceptions differ.<br />But then again, I do not understand why the restrictions to members of other religions from entering out place of worship.Red Handedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17062645716811851771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791764762248949455.post-13999475395226525082014-04-08T09:54:13.600+05:302014-04-08T09:54:13.600+05:30Loved it Prasanna
