We Indians give too much importance to rituals...visiting a temple on a particular day , fasting for religious reasons...are these relevant in this age ? or they are just a solace to fight our fears and insecurities ? #rituals I don't think that I have to explain it much, If you have heard or read any of Swami Vivekananda's ritual speeches. In the beginning of all religions, most of people used to worship energies, like water, fire etc. Worship doesn't define that they use to create temple or anything like that, but they respect those powers that let them stay alive, that helped them in their daily life. There were some people as they also do now, who always disrespect those powers, they believe that these are just normal nature that has to be there for us always. Our ancient saints have created these rituals so that we could utilize the science behind it without even knowing it...
