Random - GOD and all



Its not like i don't believe in god or something its just that i don't feel a need to proclaim it after every two seconds. Well at times i doubt even whether i believe in him, but yes there is something deep inside something that reverts back to this basic entity. This entity who you can have a conversation with at times, whom you can get pissed at and maybe even curse when things go wrong, and probably then pray to for things to be better and finally whom you can thank once things work out. Its good to believe not necessary but yet quite comforting for those who choose to take their solace in it.

Whats really surprising is how there are some places that you can associate with this supreme entity , or your own creation. People in India very strongly believe in placing their gods in temples and tying themselves to these places of worship. For me probably the easiest way to communicate with him is by going on long walks , thats probably because i don't really believe in conventional god, or maybe i do. But basically what i mean to say is i quite like the idea of having these random conversations with him or maybe a part of myself while im on a walk. Though thats not the only place where i have found God , at various periods in my life i have found my god in some conventional places of worship.

There was the Krishna temple in Manipal, it use to be peaceful, thats the only thing i can remember of it, i had my own little ritual that i use to do, Would i have gone there on my own probably not , i was influenced to go there but in the end i do believe that a bit of my god did reside there. It was amazing.

Then there was Tirupati , i mean that idol itself has some magic, of course all the other rituals associated with gaining entry to it is amazingly anal, but yes i think once you reach that idol its all worth it . But honestly i don't see my god there, i can if i want to but i don't think id want it.

There is this nice small temple at home too , its a nice tempe with open spaces, loads of monkeys , i use to go there quite frequently with my parents when i was young, though again i haven't visited it of my own free will for ages. But yes i could see my god there.

There was a church in Hyderabad , this really nice church , the sermons and hyms were tedious at times but the church was really nice , it was again a place where i could find my god quite easily.

That was a really random post, just thought of it while i read someones profile, its surprising how many people need to proclaim there faith in god in random conversations, in profiles of all things they do , i really don't get it, but i guess today was my day to do the same to you .
