The Business of God has always
a lucarative one form the pre-reformation Catholic church
' Heaven form a Price ' to the endless Brahmanical ritual
of propitiation. The latest of divine hindu supermarket
apparently are internet websites offering online pujas and
ritual for sales. So, the laid back devotee who want to
offer pujas at a popular cave shrine of Vaishno Devi during
the auspicious navaratra season can do so now without bothering
with the long ,physically arduous journey. A darshan of
Balaji can be accomplished similarly minus the trek to Tirupati
simply on logging on to the temple websites.Most popular
Hindu temples in India offers this services, with the added
bonus of the prasad being couriered to doorstep.Also through
their website, softwares manufacturers are offering what
can best be discribed as 'e-pujas', whereas a picture of
the diety appear onscreen,and one can click on the various
items like flowers, diyas, ladoos even mantra,to offer them
to diety.
When it is first appeared
on the Indian horizon,the internet's seeming omniscience
and its all pervasiveness was hailded as amodern days version
of the ancient upanishadic concept of (Vasundhaiva Katumbakham
) the entire worldis one family. Now by becoming a medium
of Hinduism's many God and Goddess to reach their devotee,the
wheel seem to have a full circle. Puja at the click of mouse
might be viewed by the purists as desacralisation of religion,but
the fact that an increasing numbers of people both India
and aboard are opting to it is testimony to the way technology
is changing the manner in which we practised and express
our faith.
