Why should we pray everyday

Or at least once in three four days. And by praying I mean, not just mumble few words of God, the traditional way of going to the God's room (the room to which you have confined God or assorted Gods as in our case ), and lighting a diya and prostrate with some incantations prayers.

• With diya, and more so with the electric light, you can see the cob-webs on the roof and on walls and make a mental note of removing them soon !

• If you are procrastinator like me, as usual when doing one unwanted to task, you will remember many other tasks you could be or should be doing and the chances of getting them done is higher. And chances of remembering these tasks is not very high on other times as your nose is glued to TV or laptop on all other times.

• The exercise of prostrating and touching your forehead to floor is a good exercise for your tummy and you feel happy that your exercising for the day is done ;). Ask Baba Ramdev.  It is like kapal bhati. The more namaskaras (as this is called) the better will be your tummy. 

• You realize that you too can multitask in fact. You are chanting prayers, you are lighting the diya, and you are thinking all these useful thoughts. Not bad. 

Where does God come into picture in all these things? No where! I did not say praying every day or at least often is good for God. It is good for you!
