So everyone here is giving their own take on this lena-dena thing...and I know enough has been said and heard about it by everybody...but here I wish to put my views in front...and hence I felt a need to make a post myself...
Starting with the melodrama part, I agree that many find it too boring and "pakau" but talking about myself...i really enjoy watching them...yes...sometimes too much overload of it even make me cringe but I don't bother watching it when its really needed...I mean...I don't expect a human being to laugh or dance in joy in such a situation...its a natural human reaction to pray The Almighty for the well-being of their beloved...and I feel that emotions being a very important part of our life ...shud not been suppressed more than required... I don't say you start shouting and yelling like anything for every small circumstances that occur in your life...but when it comes to the life of a person...people always cry and beg to The Almighty...and it becomes and looks like a melodrama when it is shown onscreen ...i better leave this point here...and now about Rudra getting healed after the Prayer ... I really wud not call it unbelievable becoz I have seen and experienced such situations myself in my life...one of them being where I was the one seriously injured...and my parents were the one in place of Paro begging to God for my safety...and they tell me that my condition really improved like a miracle after they promised THEMSELVES to visit a famous temple...so here it goes... it is not always God whom we promise...it is a kind of motivation , a pacifation and a feel good thing for our OWN souls which are going through so much pain...and once such promises are made , then atleast for some time we get relieved that the supreme power will take care of our problems...which helps us to think positively and I always believe... That positivity has the power to do any miracles...and when such miracles happen...we definitely feel God responsible for our help...without realizing that it is even we ourselves who have helped ourselves to get out of the problems...but I am not saying that The Almighty doesnot do anything...of course they do ...nothing is possible without the help of that Ultimate Power...but we as humans ourselves still not have been able to decipher our own hidden powers which The Almighty has provided us and which ARE CAPABLE to solve our own problems ourselves...but I agree there has to be some dependence on God or we HUMANS as per our characteristics wud again start boasting about ourselves instead of feeling obliged towards The almighty...
OK, I don't know how much have I been able to put up my point...actually I have forgotten to put the main point for which I made this post...but it wil grow extra long if I continue more now...better I will make another post for that topic...so guys do share your views...
