Visited the Sharanabasaveshwara temple on my recent trip to Gulbarga and got thinking in the temple premises - What causes women to walk bare-foot to the temple to ask for a male heir? Or to do anga-pradakshina in the "Om Shakti" temple? Or climb from Katra to Vaishnodevi in the chilling winds (its a 12 hr climb)?

absolute foolishness.. What else?
The Title says is all, yes its called faith, I have seen a 10th or 12th Student bringing his Hall tkt. to temple and place it at the foot of the god and take it back with Confidence, if some "foolish" act can bring in Confidence in you, why not ???
Maybe it is not so stupid after all - Maybe it is simply something we dont understand!
