This weekend has a unique quality. Three religions of the world are celebrating important occasions over the coming days.
The Hindus celebrate the ‘Ganesh Chathurthi’ with great fervor. I have always felt that most people rever Lord Ganesh out of a sense of fear that if he’s displeased nothing worthwhile can take off in their life. And I’ve always enjoyed the way the Maharashtrians celebrate this festival(Especially, the way my friends, Dinesh and Indu Kapadia celebrate the occasion every year and this time, I’ve promised to be with them mentally). And here’s me joining the chorus, ‘Ganapati bappa moriya'!
The Christians celebrate the birthday of Virgin Mary during this particular time. And I join my Christian friends on this joyous occasion. May God bless you in all your endeavours!
The Muslims celebrate the ‘Id-ul-Fitr (Ramadan) over this period. We’ve already wished our friends in Kerala who’re celebrating their great day today and shall wish our friends, in Delhi and places around, tomorrow. Id mubarak to all of you!
Actually, two things need to be underlined on this occasion, which are:-
(a) One is in constant touch with one’s folks close to one’s heart and the bonds are reinforced when one interacts with people during the occasion.
(b) All religions have celebration times coinciding on same dates, proving the fact that in the ultimate analysis, all religions tell mankind the same thing.
