Indian culture and tradition
I went to my daughter school to talk about Indian culture and tradition. Children were very much curious to know about the culture, and many practices and beliefs. I was interested in talking more about it as kids were asking questions. India has many gods than any other country, we associate every thing to god such as books, food, money, elders like parents and teachers, instruments we use, and many other items that helps us in our daily life. We consider food is Annapurna so we don't throw food at any cost, same with the money, and treating others. We consider our parents as god, so we respect them in every aspect of our life. The students were also asking about our custom of marriage, naming ceremony and other rituals. I spoke to about some of the practices that our ancestors designed for us, like ladies should wake up early in the morning, water the front yard and draw design, broom and mop the floor, cook breakfast and lunch before husband leaves for work, this was designed because we'll be active and eat healthy food and house is kept neat with out stacking dishes in sink, or bed not made, buying food in drive through by doing this we are not doing any good to our self and the family. Any practice or rituals are designed to keep the fore coming generation disciplined. There are some people who think that these practices and rituals are designed without making sense but if we analyze we can understand the purpose of rituals and practices or belief.
Thus I conclude that we have rituals and practices for a purpose and not designed with out any purpose. The teacher and students thanked me for sharing about culture and practices.
