The fervor with which it is celebrated cannot be matched by any other festival which I celebrate. Kind of feeling sad that I will not be able to celebrate the festival this year.<br /><br />About God... I absolutely agree that we can see God in anything we love. In fact, the interpretation of the phrase "seeing God" itself can be different for different people.Vikram Pyatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17652035637623101393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908541648694116771.post-43251916195907950142010-09-04T18:36:58.937-07:002010-09-04T18:36:58.937-07:00Never witnessed any Ganpati festive in life..

In my home town Hubli, Ganapati festival is very important one, & they apply all sort of innovation in making the theme apart from Ganapati idol alone. <br /><br />@ Amity, Thanks for the insightful comments this post was not about idol worship or selling faith, as my blog can be categorized as personal blog, it contains personal opinions, hence i go to say - that we can customize god to whatever we want. there is a hindi song- perhaps u may not know, SRK sings of seeing God in his lady love- soul mate concept. my faith & your faith are one & the same if you are expressing gratitude to someone called God if at all you believe in God. I am not atheist but have this view of worshiping- my love towards astronomy is my God. i find my peace in it. I find my strength & excellence in it. Its something which challenges me, pushes me to my boundaries to motivate me & keeps me rocking in my own small life. <br /><br />@ riikainfinityy, thanks for the appreciation & good to know that you could connect to it. its real experience always impressive when expressed truly from heart. <br /><br />@ Siddhesh, i really miss Pune, i had to move to Bangalore for better job prospects, but really mis the enthusiasm of people there when it comes to tradition & culture..perhaps one of the cities preserving it's theme of cultural city. thnx for the comments<br /><br /><br />@ Dreamer, thnx for the comment, good to know that it was interesting, this was a article about God & different people have just varied opinions on this topic.<br /><br />@ Samadrita, Its really pleasure that seeing your comment on my blog, your blog was the first one which impressed me & i felt worth following, I had not seen many blogs that time though, Thanks for the comments as well as wished, & wish you too fun filled celebration in advance. It's absolutely correct isn't it, the concept of God or faith is all about freedom, so we individuals, being so different from each other should have freedom to choose the way to worship it.astrosunilnomyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03766713953489677873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908541648694116771.post-88658741648054388442010-09-04T03:27:51.282-07:002010-09-04T03:27:51.282-07:00I'm so glad to have come across a person who t...I'm so glad to have come across a person who thinks God can be viewed in whatever form we choose to see him/her in- be it in love for one's work or a person or one's family.<br />Wonderful post.<br /><br />May you have lots of fun at this year's Ganesh Chaturthi as well. :)<br />All the best for BAT!Samadritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559209065320147413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908541648694116771.post-62383496091738138042010-09-04T00:47:37.637-07:002010-09-04T00:47:37.637-07:00Vivid description made for interesting reading.
