LEANING TOWARDS THE YOUNG

It is time we trained the young rather than gather the oldies around. I guess Agathiyar making his rounds this time around after a lockdown just as the world faced numerous lockdowns the past 2 1/2 years, is to get the young to perform his puja rather than alienate them and have elders run the show. I had my grandchildren perform a small homam, libation to Agathiyar's statue, and sing his praises today. As a toddler and kid, the elder had assisted in the puja rituals in the past too. Now the younger joins her in these moments of fun, play and devotion.
