Although the post title seems political, I couldn’t come up with anything better suited for this post!
Anyway, like a true Blue Desi parent, I was teaching KBee about how we, as Hindus, are into praying Nature. Plants, some animals, books, planets and stars are all part of the vast group revered by the Hindus.
This is how my training went….!
Day 1: The idol worshipping…..
Another day, during a visit to the temple: Worshipping the Cow, which is helpful to humans and giver of boons, the Kamadhenu.
And then one day when I was busy talking on the cell with Mr.Bee about some random stuff, I witnessed a funny and memorable incident! (I was at my parents’ place with both the kiddos)
KBee’s heart is in the right place. Animals are revered by us, but I hadn’t specified which all! Technically, he isn’t wrong!
Interestingly, he made me think. If at all any Hindu deity wanted an animal companion, who would choose a dinosaur? Hmm, probably a Goddess as dynamic and as powerful as Durga!
What do you say?
P.S:
1. Lord Ganesh had a Mouse, Lord Karthikeya used a peacock as a mode of transport. Lord Vishnu had Garuda(the king of birds), Goddess Durga was partial to the Indian National Animal, a Tiger!
2. GBee and KBee are fanatics of 🦕 dinosaurs. KBee can watch the same video of Blippi and his dinosaur adventure, N number of times, every single day. No wonder he gave his salutations to the T- Rex. The Triceratops toy that KBee has is his absolute favourite toy.
3. Recently Mr.Bee showed the kiddos the Jurassic World movie. Interestingly, both of them felt that the Earth, does not need any such dangerous dinosaurs after all..!
4. Happy Ratha Saptami to all my readers. I am attaching a Rangoli I made for the occasion.
Cheerio, till the next post…bubye.
