Many corrupt practices had been introduced in the system by our so called Dharama (Religious) Gurus (Preachers) in their vested interests and these Jagratas' and Jagrans' are just one of them.
Question yourself:
- Is the God deaf or that He wouldn't listen to your prayers unless you shout all night?
- Is the God too busy in the day to listen to your prayers?
- God created the night so that all his living creations rest during that time. Who gave you the right to make them suffer that too in "His" name?
- Why and how do you think that God should favor you at the cost of discomforts caused by you the whole night to the students, working professionals, old aged, critical patients in your neighborhood?
- You think you do it because you are God fearing. What about the many curses thrown at you by sufferers in your neighborhood for the trouble you caused to them?
- Do you think your committed sins till that day will be forgiven by God and your permit will be renewed to commit the new ones afterwards?
In my opinion these Jagrans' and Jagratas' are only the indication of the mental bankruptcy of the person conducting / participating in them.
Discourage this practice. Educate them to not to harass their neighbors. Advise them firmly to not to use the loud speakers and that they should do it within their premises, without disturbing the peace of the neighborhood. Inform them that the Law of the Land does not permit blaring loud speakers. Call the Police if they don't give an ear. The culprit does not deserve to be your neighbor.
You may join me to take an "Oath" to not to organize or participate in these Jagrans' / Jagratas'.
