Watching women do the Aaarti to the Ganga is a humbling experience.It's that little bit of Hinduism that is still holding on to a past where our ancestors worshipped the forces of nature, to whom it even occured that a river is sacred .
What has happened to the Ganga at Varanasi or elsewhere is an ancient form of corporatization of worship.
In Anoopshahr , it is still only the locals who walk down from their homes and pray to the river, the water is still clean and being on the only boat in the gorgeous sugarcane juice like water is a spiritual experience with the soothing rhythm of the oars and the water.
IT's my favourite thing to do here.
''To divide anything into what should be and what is, is the most deceptive way of dealing with life.'' Jiddu Krishnamurthi
that's a thought i am thinking about now.
