Why do I look at things differently?



There was a question put before me as to why do I look at things differently.

I had been wondering on the same myself for quite a long time but was never able to understand. Then this time I had a chance to visit the Ram Dal at Chowk Allahabad and what I saw is something I do not think is seen or heard of at other places.



I took a few photographs with my mobile. Yes the one you see above is one among them. Since the light was just not right the whole idea could not be captured properly.




We have seen devotees worshipping idols all across the country but has anyone ever got a chance to see a God Idol worshipping human beings?

Well, that was exactly what is there in the photograph above, which I saw. I saw the idol of Lord Hanuman performing Aarti to the persons sitting on a tableau in the make-up of Ram & Sita. The idol had to be suspended from atop of the gateway prepared for the event. There are people who hold the idol from above and sides of the gateway and the idol is made to perform Aarti of the tabelau in which people are dressed like Ram and Sita.

Now, isn't it strange !

And ... Doesn't it not make me different from other people???
