Not trying to offend anyone, but genuine question
If the river is sacred, why are we throwing things into it?
Saw people offering flowers and baskets directly into the Saraswati River in Mana Village while there’s a Saraswati Temple right beside it where offerings can be made.
Fun fact: I actually requested them not to throw anything into the river and explained why. They listened, nodded... and then went ahead and did it anyway. 🫠
Maybe the best offering we can give nature is leaving it untouched.
Faith and respect for nature can coexist. In fact, they should.
What do you think? 👇🌿
