lot of ppl miss the point of hindu religious practice.....We are suppose to offer flower garlands,Incandescent ,sweets to god...but in reality it is a way of distributing your wealth to less fortunate ppl who may not become engineer but can feed his family thru selling these stuff instead of begging....
Well then some ppl argue why can't you just feed the poor directly ..... if only world could be this simpler and all ppl so pure of heart,this world would have been called heaven......On second thought Consider it as a rewarding system one who is willing to work for his food earns it ..... only other option is begging
We make god deity of stones and temples for them...The sculptures and the local craftsmen earn from it...
We spend on different festivals .....its a system of keeping money circulating ..its the only time we spend and we feel good about it ...
We visit all different temples spreads across india...gives a boast to local travel and tourism ....
Next time you visit a temple try to see a free mkt economy at work instead of wondering..... does god need this????....God doesn't need it but the poor person who sell garland at the temples foot and whose only child is in school and who doesn't have any other source of income need its ....
It isthe only Socalism in the world which has succeeded coz it is attached with spiritualism
PS:- When our women Spend money for something ...consider it as a rightful use ..coz no finance minister can beat her at managing finance .....And if she approves Religious spending ...its a closed case not open for discussion
