I love your posts to the core...true that every ritual and every tradition of ours carries some symbolism with them.Keep discussing these points,it really feels good!
What actually hurts me is that Indian Mythology is being misunderstood at times,the fact that hardly few people know about importance of these stories and the traditions which it carries out.The more older our religion gets,the more generations are getting really a far from it.I guess most of you here are south Indians,and I loved to know about your believes.However me being a northern one,I feel not many people here are interested in studying these things.I myself find very rare companies,to discuss on such topics.It hurts me when people, rather than first understanding the importance each ritual is associated with,be ready to stand against them.It really does.Forget about the wedding rituals,people now a days have a simple court marriage,because of the hectic schedules they have in their lives and i dont have a problem with it.But the concept that some have is that marriages are costly and tiring,and are mere wastage of money and time.Contradictory to the fact,that a complete marriage is meant for the well being of the new couple.
Schools today are mostly convent,and even if they are,they prefer to teach french and greek litetraturerather than preaching the glory of their own country.That makes a huge difference between other religions and ours.Youth,even if they are interested,arent motivated enough to pursue their interested studies.I agree not everyone is meant for this but people here have a belief that learning other literatures would be more benefitial for children's future.But shoulddnt people first know about their own society?
...My pure thoughts and not intended to hurt someone...
