How nice to know something about the festival and rituals from your place. I really didn't knew anything about Basumati Snana before coming across this blog of yours.
the soil from which everything is borne - we all have come from the soil and we will end up in the soil, isn't it ?
That line really hits deep. I myself believe in it and it is so true and yet, sadly, the current generation barely gets the time or space to reflect on such things.
I want to ask you something, do you think rituals like this still hold the power to reconnect today's generation with nature, divinity that is believed by the people of past generation and our cultural roots because now the world is moving faster than ever and most of the kids or teens are busy giving their life to the technologies.
Thank you for this beautiful post and yes I forgot to mention that the cake looks really delicious.
What these technologies have done for peace of mind ? Can they invent something for that ? Can technology generate something to guarantee happiness, no stress, good sleep ? The answer lies only in our cultural roots and divinity - our culture has something that science and technology can't even explain.
I agree with you that what our culture teach us can't be replaced by the science and technology. Being a mother what I think is that the parents themselves make their kids use to these technologies and that is why they even start finding peace in those things but the truth is that it is not really the peace, it just make them get used to those things like drugs.
I think teaching them from the time when they are kids is what most of the parents are not doing in this time. They feel backward ( sadly ) in telling the culture and traditions which are actually beautiful.
Also as you mentioned, it is most importantly a key reasons why we learn to stay away from stress and also take some good sleep. A healthy sleep cycle is missing from all the current generations kids.
