However, I do not find anything wrong in people having a feeling of picnic and enjoyment. One mahan told me, long time ago, that Hindus pray at home and go to temple to visit God and say “thanks”. You have lived in Chennai for a long time. You would have seen Nadaswaram and melam recital in the temples. Also, Ramayana and/or Mahabaratha discourse in the temples. They even arrange musical functions in the temples. So, I personally feel there is nothing wrong in having an enjoyment atmosphere in the Hindu temples.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1553143156226303719.post-7671504155212641992022-11-17T04:24:32.760-08:002022-11-17T04:24:32.760-08:00Shilpa: People sometime find me critical of everyo...Shilpa: People sometime find me critical of everyone because most of the people are like that and don’t feel like maintains relationships with them , even if they are my or my husband’s siblings.
