Fascinating stuff - I haven't delved into religious symbolism unless you consider Dan Brown's books but I was especially drawn to this story from a cultural perspective

I also haven't heard of Annaprashan but why specifically money, soil, a book or pen? It's almost as if they're making us choose a path not find a path on our own

On the other hand, I believe in fate - I started blogging a couple of years ago - but in 2014, a religious sister told me she had a vision that I would write. I laughed it off then but in hindsight....it makes you wonder, doesn't it?
