I was asked by many people as to the difference between prayer to GOD and pariharams. What people are doing now is not prayer and only pariharams.
I think to understand the difference it requires clear and well thinking mind or in short ATHMA VISION. Let me explain as follows:
From childhood, every person is taught to go to temples to get rid of some problems or doing well in schools, getting admission in colleges, getting Job, getting married etc.., etc.. and every time the person is made to go to temple with thrust on getting some benefits for him.
