Significance of Ayudha Pooja in our Culture
In this universe, you can say ‘Nothing is significant’ or ‘Everything is significant.’ Both mean the same thing paradoxically! It is our perspective that varies.The remarkable aspect of life is that small, as well as big things, add meaning to our lives. So, a small needle has just as much utility as an aircraft. After all, you need it to stitch the clothes you are wearing. Similarly, ask any woman wearing a saree the uses of a tiny safety pin!So, use and not size decide the value and meaning of things in our lives. Ayudha Puja recognizes this functionality and efficacy of tools, objects, and devices we use in our day-to-day life.
