Image of Goddess Durga after one week of immersion
Immersion
I’m sitting on a rock on the sea beach watching the immersion of the Idols of Maa Durga, Just four days ago we were worshiping him with full fun and frolics, with flowers and sweets. Now it is time for him to go back to his heavenly abode, hence the immersion in the sea. Waves reverently envelop her slowly and take him down under the sea. I feel sad.
After one week I’m sitting at the same place. I observed remnants of those beautiful idols washed ashore by the waves. Sea never keeps anything. It returns whatever is offered to it.
Why we are arrogant, stubborn, and hyper
Why we fight for class, color, cast,e or creed
Why we have become so intolerant
Why we are not compassionate, compatible, and friendly
There are so many whys…
Why for petty things we pull out the dagger
When the end is the same for the king or beggar
