My student Indhumathi asked me mam is there any sastra that we have to dip huge painted vinayaga idols? Many others may have this in mind. Usually method i follow for these discussions - ask, debate, ask, infer, not conclude 1. Is there any single wriiten book called sastra or is it a c compilation word by mouth on custom, practice and convention? 2 do u think if at all there is a rule, they wud have mentioned abt painted idols? When did paints chemicals came in? 3. Clay was readily available in backyards, fields, it is earth, no one need to pay for it few years back. So making a clay doll was in practice, no harm happy activity. Now scene is different, guess reasons and infer 4. Making pillayar with turmeric is in practice - so who is the culprit? Few years back we have seen simple wedding cards, now what do u see? We want to boast our wealth, power in every possible chance given. So what changes our customs? 5 as a mark of beginning of festivities, seasonal change, agri practices we pray to remove obstacles. Avvayar mentions paal, thaen, paagu, paruppu - too easily available. But we want australian apples, pears for berrikka, loads of fruits, jewels, clothes .... So what u want to offer reflects ur attitude! 6. A simple no harm sweet little pillai has been turned into .... By whose attitude? 7. None brands me a sinner bcoz i do not know to make kozhukattais and do not offer him a grand spread. So it is ur take Happy vinayaga chathurthi away from shouting TV
