This kind of true socialism has a profounding impact on everyone joining the event
Indeed. There are three dimensions of our festivals and culture--
Spiritual(Inner journey, just imagine every year we do Ganesh puja, estabush the murti(physical shape) at home, and then give a send-off for "visarjan"(amurt)-- so it signifies a journey from "murt to amurt", means taking birth and again dissolving into the five elements of Nature. Put simply, it's story of life cycle...
Nature...every single festival is closely tied to Nature and at a particular season. Living close to nature is true sustainability, even our modern progress should commensurate "living close to the natural ecosystem".
Socialism- In some form or the other or through festivals, we develop connectedness as a social animal. So festivals are otherwise the mechanism to enforce socialism culturally.
Om Gan Ganapataye Namah.
As always, I marvel at your sharp shots. They are the USP of your blog on any given day.
Thank you.
