True devotion

The Lord does not demand offerings from the believer, it is as per the financial strengths of the individual and his/her own choices that one makes offerings. Today religion has become a business and we are forced to buy archanai-platters from the temple's administrations, make dakshinas mandatorily and other such wrong practices.

God listens to everyone's prayers. Genuine requests are answered and a path is shown to the devout. Faith in God and one-self is the greatest strength that a person can have.

Prayers

It is very important to inculcate the habit of chanting prayers among children. Earlier a lamp used to be lit during the mornings and evenings and prayers were chanted. Changing lifestyles and nuclear families have made this practice redundant slowly.

Working couples who return late from office, should pray together at least in the mornings. Ask what you want with faith and you shall receive it!
