Ayudha Pooja advice

By Chinnaa

Greetings!

I travelled with my son in a city bus.

He is ten years.

On seeing the cleaned and decorated vehicles on the road in view of the Ayudha Pooja celebrations, including some MTC buses, he asked me why Ayudha Pooja is done only once a year and why can’t be done daily.

I told him about the water scarcity in our city due to over population and more than that only once a year the festival comes.

I don’t think I have convinced him, because from his body language I could understand that he is not fully convinced.

He is from a different faith but his interest for Ayudha Pooja can not be undermined
