Spirituality and Me !

Today I had to attend a Sunderkand Path at my Maternal Uncle's house and I was feeling bit awkard and tizzy as honestly speaking with no disrespect to God I am just not comfortable attending religious functions where one needs to listen to chants and rhymes of holy mantras when at the deep of my hurt I know I am not understanding anything what is being said . The worst part for me came when I was supposed to read the book of sunderkand in chorus and I was just chanting without really understand anything out of it . To me it was like the famous hindi proverb "Kala Achar Bhains Baraber " being truly visualized in front of my eyes .
This is the feeling which is being echoed by lot of people from current generation and I am not sure if it would be wrong to say the feeling of Indian and religious sentiments is slowly dying and being taken over more by probably more simpler and easier to understand western culture . If this trend really continues I dont know what my children would learn from me when i am finding it tough to absorb what my parents tried to teach me .
