Today while travelling from thrissur to pazhainoor by bus i happened to witness an unpleasing act by my fellow passengers; this was repeated by another set of passengers in my return journey. On reaching home i shared my unhappiness with aunts and uncles and found out to my dismay that it has become a routine on this route.
What was it are you wondering? If you are a keralite and have travelled in this route you might have seen it too, who knows you too would have done it.
People of kerala have become immensely rich that they have started tossing coins from their seat in bus to the creator of mankind the GOD ,thus making him a beggar seated inside a place called temple which was considered a place of worship by our ancestors, what made the scene even more ugly for outsider like me was that of temple personal catching these coins showing his desperation to increase the bank balance of his boss(read as god).
Hundis were placed in temples for worshippers to drop their offering to the almighty, slowly it became a collection centre where some people deposited god's share for helping them realize their wishes or as advance money for the help he is going to do. I accepted these activities as this money was used for conducting various rituals at the temple thus maintaining the positive vibration of that place. People should realize that by tossing the coin they are not pleasing rather belittling the very source of his existence, god has never demanded you for shares so if you don’t have the patience to get down from your vehicle and drop your offering please don’t throw coins and disrespect him and thus disrespect yourself.
