Devotion

I have never been a beleiver of God. But my girl seems to be my opposite.
Though it is difficult to say about the 'belief' part at this age but the 'ritual' part she performs without any mistakes and inhibitions.
I too am forced to perform those rituals which i wouldn't do otherwise.
The best example would be our 'daily' visit to the temple. I never go to temples until and unless i am asked by someone.
But for Anvitha a visit to the temple during our daily evening walks is a must.
Joining her palms for 'namaskaar', taking 'teertha','aarti' and 'prasada', performing the 'pradakshina'- everything has to be perfect for her.
Recently she has learned to do her pradakshina not only in the temple but around the 'tulsi' plant too.
She doesn't miss out on chanting of 'mantras' while doing all this.
Though in her own language mantras are a new addition to her practices.
All in all she's carefully practicing my part of the rituals too.
