India - Land of Diversity (Part 1)

 The beauty of India is that despite there being so many diverse religions and schools of thought, there is no enmity or conflict between any of them. Some people are devotees of Lord Hanuman, some others are followers of the Mother Divine, and some others worship some other deity. Do they ever fight among each other? The advantage of having so much diversity in our culture is that it has brought about great respect and tolerance for other religious faiths and beliefs. Do you get what I am saying?

 How many gods and goddesses are there in India? There are thousands and thousands of gods and goddesses in India today. Yet people who worship one deity still go to the temple of another deity also, isn’t it so? Do they ever fight between each other? So people may fight despite knowing that God is only one, and yet we see that even when there are so many gods and goddesses being worshipped, people still respect each other’s beliefs and live in harmony.
