In plain words
A very great king, mighty and rich’: as he coaxes her like this, the cow nods her head as if to say, “All right, I do like Rāma.” Then the gaṅgireddu man gives Sītā to Rāma in marriage. Wishing for the welfare of the world, he celebrates the wedding of Sītā and Rāma. In the villages, children set out with great eagerness to watch this gaṅgireddu show.
“Little brother, come! There is the gaṅgireddu man! A silver medallion, a waist cord, a bangle on his arm, a gold stud in his nose, the forked nāmam marks on his face, the gaṅgireddu at his side, a goad in his hand, calling out his name, he has made it dance in the middle of the village street; come! He will give Sītamma to Śrī Rāma and hold the wedding; let us watch that fun, give our gifts and come back; come along!”
Sankrānti is a festival that gives joy not only to cattle but to birds as well. There is a great deal we must learn from all living beings, cattle, birds and the rest.
Religion is nothing but Prema!
Whenever you see them, birds mostly alight on mosques and on temples; by this they teach a great lesson to people of every religion and every region. Today many have no faith in ‘religion’. ‘Religion’ sets before man a fine ideal. Many children study in our institution. They have no religious differences at all. One who holds to religious difference is not a man at all. There is only one religion. It is the religion of Prema. Only one who follows that religion is a true man. Who is a true HINDU? H - Humility, I - Individuality, N - Nationality, D - Devotion, U - Unity. Only where there is ‘unity’ is there ‘purity’.
