I remember, when I was younger, I used to go to a small temple with my grandfather. This was his daily routine. But even in that small temple, I used to feel the presence of God from my heart. It was such a holy time. Does this feel like this in temples today?
Let me tell you one incidence, It was just 2 years ago, I went to Shirdi to visit Sai Baba temple. That temple is very big in a few years, so the devotees who come, they have to stand in a line for a long time, So, there is a facility of fans, washrooms, etc inside the temple area. My child wanted to visit washroom so I took her. Can you imagine what did I see there? I saw sanitary napkins thrown in the washroom. I was shocked. How could a woman visit the temple when she has periods? I am not orthodox but I do follow the rules of my community, my society.
And one more thing, nowadays big temples like Shirdi, Tirupati have a separate room where dozens of people do the work of counting notes. Does God want wealth from us? Does he want our money? What is happening in this world?
My grandmother was saying one day when she came to know that I have thyroid, “In your generation, along with new technology, we get to hear the name of new diseases, we never heard these names in our time!
Can you tell me, why were there not all these diseases at that time? Because at that time man was happy even in a small amount of money. He did not crave for anything and was not sad to lose anything. People used to help each other from the heart. There was no atrocity, there were no rapes, animals were not tortured, in fact those people worshiped animals too.
In our Hindu culture, the animals that we worship, People of other countries eat those animals. This is very shameful and a sign of the destruction of the world. I do not want to say here only about Hindu culture, but I do not think that in the Bible or Quran also, snakes, cockroaches, bats, dogs, cats and whatever else our ancestors which are monkeys, would have allowed them to eat.
Shri Krishna said in the Gita, this will happen after a few years of Kalyuga. Human beings will not care about nature, it will be tyrannical, the season will not be on time, people will be sick due to their own increased pollution and a time will come when all is over. And the amazing thing is that what I read is happening for many years.
My only request is to understand all these things carefully with time, there is still time. Plant trees to save the earth, not just to appear on social media. Today, the corona virus has shown us that technology also succumbs to the natural disaster. Grow organic, eat healthy. Stop hybrid cultivation. Together, we can fight all kind of diseases.
I believe that I am also responsible in this condition of my earth and I will try my best to change it. Do you believe?
So let us try our best to save this beautiful creation of Brahma Ji, to protect our earth, to save it. Respect each other, protect other creatures like us, do not kill animals just for our benefit. Do not harm anyone for money. Life is everything.
