| | In the Name of Religion | | by Enigmaa, Nov 23, 2008 | | The daily life of any Indian starts with rituals of their particular faith. Such is the impact of these religious beliefs and practices, as old as 4,500 years that it’s impossible to ignore its influence even in the modern times. India, also known as the land of religions, has been the birthplace of many religions like Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism and Buddhism. It has also embraced other religions and cultures with equal ease. | | Comments(1) Liked It: 4 |

 | | The Vaghela Parivar Saptah | | by Asha, Sep 30, 2008 | | A real account of a week-long family Saptah, a hindu event which commemorates the lives of those who have died. A Saptah is an enriching occasion which some people only get to attend once (if at all) in their lifetime. The story aims to provide insight into what it is and why we do it.
Many young Hindus do not know what this is and this should give them a better understanding. | | Comments(1) Liked It: 5 |
