Tomorrow happens to be the Valentine's Day. It's a day dedicated to the goddess of love. Love certainly is a wonderful thing. It brings immense pleasure and joy. The feeling of love flows through all living beings. It's one of the few traits that can be observed in all sorts of beings. The interesting thing is this feeling can be expressed across different species. It's a well known fact that dogs show their love and affection to their masters in a very animated manner. Love apart from air is a pre-requisite for any creature. Without love and affection it's impossible to endure the tough challenges in life.
When I say love, I mean the unconditional love(The love that a mother shows to her child) Unfortunately such love is rare to come by in this present scenario. As we get more mechanical day by day wearing different masks of expression we are also losing our natural ways of expressing emotions- A boon bestowed on humankind. Today there is selfishness everywhere. Every act is scrutinized from the angle of profit and loss.
Even the religion that is supposed to spread love and peace across the width and breadth of human race is getting diverged from its motives and purposes due to some vilifying agents. People are fighting among themselves in the name of religion. Religion has become a medium to fragmentize the society.
Much to the chagrin of our society, people like Pramod Muthalik keep cropping up who take upon themselves the task of moral policing and vandalizing the youth of our country. Youth are very important part of our yet to be developed society. Times have changed and so have the customs and traditions. Clinging on to the obsolete standards of society and trying to compare with the present day is senseless and flawed. Mr. Muthalik needs to realize that Hinduism is a very tolerant religion that has space for everyone and anyone. Our manuscripts are humongous and one requires a complete understanding of it to get the essence of Hinduism. Reading a part of it and formulating own opinions may prove detrimental and disastrous.
