Temple visit ...

I visited the Siddhivinayak Temple on Sunday . It was very crowded. A friend of mine asked one day - Why do you visit a temple ? Many of us are so conditioned to visiting temples naturally that the critiquing part behind every activity is lost behind the humdrum of daily chores. Well thinking of why I visit a temple ... Well it is an instantaneous way of connecting with God . There is a thought behind idol worship that the human mind is so vastly distracted that an idol, picture etc provides a source for concentration . When you stand in front of the deity there is sense of self surrender , there is even a stronger sense of connection . Well you can say that why not meditate . That too is a good way of collecting your thoughts or rather allowing them to flow freely and arrive at a sense of calm .Then why struggle in the sun and dust and visit a temple ?That is your personal faith- if the sense of bonding and connectedness could be the strongest is some places and Siddhivinayak happens to be one such place . You might experience the same feeling in a church , dargah- so all in all it is personal faith and a strong sense of connection , a sense of belonging that one feels for the deity and the sacred place . Sometimes this feeling could be unplanned and you might discover new places as you visit newer locations and experience new feelings .
