All these news channels aired the news that this year “Kanhaanji’s” birthday was even more special because ....after so called 5000 odd years this year’s Janamashtami had its planetary positions placed in exactly the similar arrangement as it was when little Kanhayan was born!!!
Well, as for me....I aint too devout, Not that I do not believe in something that is Supreme, but yes I cannot completely agree myself on the rationale of the elaborate traditions that people justify as methods to reach a little closer to the Almighty Himself...I mean God is within us...in our heart and soul...then why need these saffron clad pot bellied mahouts of religion, so to speak,...enlighten us??
Can’t we do it ourselves in our search for the Almighty...Guess we are so used to being pupated and spoon-fed...that this socialisation even handicaps us and makes us yearn for help even in our own search for salvation.....
Anyways....perhaps my little search for salvation is,I guess through my son. Hitherto he came into my life, I was unaware that how much joy it brings to experience the nuances of daily life and its manifestations with someone whom you can proudly call...”your own”.
This year too I had dressed my Sonny boy as little Krishna....and trust me...I did not need to go and visit any temple or take up any fasting to reach out to the Almighty...my little Krishna babbling “thaankuu Mamma...”...made me walk my path to salvation...
Thank you for coming into our lives my Son-shine.
