being religious

Thursdays are Sai Baba`s days.Earlier I paid no attention to the specially allocated day of the week for a certain diety and thought it was crazy to go to a temple on a day when it was so crowded, after all God can hear us on any other day as well and should`nt all the days be the same for him but now I feel its not really the statue sitting in the temple that is important but the faith of the lakhs of people who congregate there with intense devotion and stand in a queue for hours to get a darshan .For the same reason I feel a specially arranged quickie darshan isnt really beneficial. We should rather stand patiently with the crowd and absorb all the strong positive energy .Perhaps our prayers will be heard better then.
How Sai Baba has gained such popularity is hard to understand.For that matter how does any Baba become popular be it Mahesh Yogi, Baba Ramdev, or Sri SriRavishanker, isnt it the faith ofthe people?
So Sai babas darshan today was a prolonged affair. Not a bad way to pass time standing amongst the devotees.I pray my prayers are heard.
Read somewhere today love is like 'pi' irrational, unexplainable.
Considering the innumerable blogs on the net it appears theres a lot people want to say to people, and sometimes to no one in partcular or everyone around.To be known,understood,heard,forgiven, appreciated,loved ---.
