God's Offerings | Lord's Blessings
A palm full of Godliness!
The concept of #prasadam or #prasad in temples isn't new. As a matter of fact, every religion believes in sharing with its disciples the blessed 'offering' that encapsulates the love and belief of followers of a particular religion. πβΊπ
These offerings are manifestations of beliefsβ that beget an opportunity for disciplesβ to connect with the supreme force. βͺβ©π
Offerings needn't be pompous or glamorous in their outlook. They must define the aura of divinity - visible from the eyes of disciplesβ. At times, a spoonful of puffed rice, shekels of coconut, a pinch of sweetmeat or holy water is good enough to realise how connected a disciple is with the creator. πΌ
When matters of belief creep in, people in general border their concerns within the boundaries of their religion. What baffles my conscience is - all religions emphasize on the attributes of love, peace and unity; isn't it natural to open our hearts to the various methods of remembering the Lord? πππͺ
Bowing towards the direction of Mecca, crossing our heart, placing our forehead on the replica of the Guru Granth Sahib, wearing a skull cap and folding palms in front on an idol are all forms of experiencing the Lord's divine presence.π’π«π
Aren't offerings shared with disciplines yet another way to receive the message of love through the 'grand canyon' that nourishes our bodies? πππ
Think about it! Every offering is an opportunity to ostracize any non-positive inhibitions and build a nation where all religions are accepted with purity of the heart. #LiveLifeInPeace βππ
