Earlier this week the Kawaria season came to an end. It seems that all roads have been infiltrated by Kawaria's wearing saffron. The devotees who carry the Ganges water are called 'Kawaria'. Well i must say it is the utmost example of the sheer determination and endurance which only a person having unchallenged faith can show.
Many people who live in cities perceive it as an inconvinience to their daily routine. As all the roads been jammed or clogged to make a safe passage for the Kawaria's. People usually complain about the traffic snarls in the city. Lots of monetary loss occurs directly or indirectly because of this.
Recently While coming back to home from office i was stuck in the jam because of Kawaria's possesion. As i waiting for the jam to get clear I was a bit shocked and surprised to see a view which really put an indelible impact on my heart.
I was completely enthralled by seeing a child along with his father as a Kawaria.This really compelled me to think the faith which people have in god. Above all the faith which the father must be having in his son that he was ready to allow his son to march along with him to his native place in this ardous and trechrous journey.
I must say that all people have faith in god but we dont have faith in each other. We all pray and bow our head in front of lord shiva. So arn't we devotees of the same lord who are cursing each other. It a tradition which is being followed from hundreds of centuries.It is only the faith in each other which is why we as human beings have been able to survive.
Well judging some people's faith against some people's materialistic convinience is not at all fair. It should be realised that all members of the society should come forward and celebrate this festival with great fervour.
I am not saying that the Kawaria's have greater faith in god than those who are sitting in comfort of AC in their cars while waiting for the jam to get clear. It is only matter of getting inner peace and satisfaction. Methods of getting that can be numerous. Well its just a matter of respecting each others faith and letting people to respect their belief.
