Frog marriage: believe it or not
The traditions live through generation, no matter who believes it or not. Beliefs sometimes are helpful for public welfare though many call it old thoughts having no substance to believe. This is science driven society, and since religious texts and traditions are not transcended without being explained, they are dominated.
Few believe, you can please god for one’s interest. It happens, it happens not. Atheists say, offer to god and events occurring are just coincidence. I have no idea but recent news from Nepal and Bhutan reminded me of the strength that traditions and belief incorporate.
The incidents are similar. Both the country had been facing dry season. The Himalayan region, generally receives brief rain in mid-winter. This year, there wasn’t. The nature lover Hindus found their folklore to bring rain back.
Last week of March, villagers in these two countries arrange for marriage of frogs. Be sure, they happened in separate places, on separate occasion but within a few days’ gap. Two ceremonies were held in southern Bhutan and central Nepal praying the rain god or Barun Devata to smash the prolonged drought. In Bhutan, it was a grand ceremony with parliamentarians taking the seat of special invitees to the wedding ceremony while it was a small village function in Nepal.
Believe it or say it a coincidence again. Both these country received rainfall that brought cheers to farmers, expecting better yield from winter farms that had almost dried. Almost since once week, the rain continues.
Can atheist or scientists give reasons why it so happened?
