SUPERSTITION

months ago, in news paper, there was a news that one Baba was arrested because he deceived a  person for one lakh by pretending that he knew the ritual to get treasure hidden underground. Sometimes this lust to get so much wealth is so intense, that such persons are ready to kill child and victimise him. Sometimes we listen  that completion of any construction is requiring human victim. Many times, such requirement is fulfilled and such crime is suppressed by every concerned person. Such crimes occur, because it is the fact that in our society there are superstitions.
          In Fact there is great difference in belief and blind- belief, means in faith and superstition. Beliefs or faith in God is always good. Only on that faith many people face difficult problems in their lives. Many times it increases power of mind. But if any person believes on superstition blindly, many times he has to get stuck in serious problems.
           There are many humourous superstitions in our surroundings. For example,if we are going for some important work, and a cat crosses our way,it is believed that  we will not get success in that work. Another superstition is that on Ganesh chaturthi, if anyone will look at moon, in future he will have to face false blame of theft there is a myth relating to this belief. But the solution to save from this blame is more humorous, which hasn't any base, nor there is any logical reason. The solution is believed that the person looking at moon on that day should throw pebbles on the roof of tins of neighbours. Again if a crow is shouting in your courtyard, there will be guests in your house. We can make a huge list of such humourous superstitions. In many advanced countries also such humourous superstitions are in existence.  For example,in Ireland and Scotland, seeing a single magpie is supposed bad but two or more is fine. According to Russian, whistling in and at the sun are both ill-advised. According to the Hungarians and Russians, sitting at the corner of the table is bad luck. So this list also can be very huge. After all, superstition is a question of everyone's faith and everyone's experience. Again everyone has freedom and fundamental right to believe or not to believe. So we can't  mock them. Only everyone should take care that his own beliefs should not hurt others.

Colours of the days

Yesterday,I met our family friend -a retired person- and as formality, I asked him that how he was, he started to complain about his retired life. His main complaint was that for him now every day was similar to another,no change, no zest. Even on festival also except for some time, the remaining day was very dull for him. While speaking, he referred that after retirement, his all days are of grey colour,and yes, I also agreed with him on the point that days also have colours and various shades.                       Even though grammatically,a day is a concept and so it has no colour, no shape,no size. Again logically, day after day comes and it makes a week, month,a year and our life goes on. So a day doesn't differ from other days. Yet practically we have experience that if on a day, the climate is cloudy for the whole day, everyone feels dull, and as grey colour is symbol o...

ON JANMASHTAMI

  It is believed that God always behaves ideal. So almost our all myths when tell us about God’s incarnation as a human being, they draw His character as ideal in His childhood and in young age also. Only,God Krishna is shown as behaving according to the age like a human being. From His childhood and in His throughout whole life, there is a mischievousness, which is very much liked by all human beings. Perhaps so, everyone feels more attachment for Krishna. Because, even in old age also even an ideal and disciplined human being likes mischievousness, though he himself could never behave so. In childhood, Krishna played fully with his friends, even stole curd and butter from milkmaid's houses with friends. At the same time, being God, he killed many monsters also. In young age, He played “Rasleela”with the milkmaid's. When He helped Arjuna to marry with His sister Subhadra, very mischievously he deceived Balaram. It means God Krishna is the best combination of God and human be...

Awful loneliness

- Few days ago, I saw a news on t.v.about Asha Sahani. She was living at Lokhandwala in Mumbai alone. Her son Rituraj  is working in America in IT field.

After this one and half year, when he returned to his mother's home, he found his mother's skeleton, lying on bed in her bedroom. No one knows when she died. What a shocking news! Death in such loneliness! Very horrible! For so many days no one in this world noticed her death!                                                                             ...
