00:00Why do we Indians worship one thing and also exploit the same thing?
00:05Because we do not know what the word worship means.
00:08Go to people who celebrate festivals, Eid or Christmas or Easter and ask them do you know why you are
00:14celebrating this?
00:15There would always be a philosophy behind the celebration.
00:18But if you know no philosophy and you are just celebrating Holy Diwali or Eid, that's dumb, very dumb.
00:24And you call that as your great culture.
00:26No, I will have to sacrifice goats.
00:28Have they cared to understand the philosophy?
00:31Beautiful symbolism.
00:33But have we cared to read?
00:34But we become very excited when it comes to festivals.
00:37Holy means crackers, Diwali means colors and Eid means slaughtering the poor goat.
00:42Believe me, the way we celebrate our festivals was not as distorted even five decades back.
00:48Every successive generation further distorts the festivals.
