Hindu Holidays

Over the weekend Rob and I went on a walk across the road to a little general store. We passed a car dealership and saw a Hindu priest praying over the cars and decorating them and things. Apparently there was a Hindu holiday over the weekend which is celebrated by worshipping the items which provide your income. So the person who sells cars would worship the cars in their lot, a bus driver worships his bus, a cook would worship the stove and so on... The holiday was apparent everywhere because rickshaws and busses were decorated and most businesses were closed to celebrate their work. This concept just reminded me of how the Hindu people have been so deceived that they worship inanimate objects. They spend the little money they have to pay the priest to bless their occupational tools. I pray that one day God will break into this land and free people from the bondage of idolatry. I pray that God will reveal the lies which have oppressed this land.
