Religion in India

This is a short video that I recorded one of our first mornings after arriving in Sohna. They start this singing at 4:30 every morning and it goes on for approximately an hour to an hour and 1/2. Imagine being so devout to your religion that you arose every morning at 3:30-4AM everyday to go to the temple to pray and sing. We as a society moan and groan and have a hard enough time getting to church every Sunday morning. I think it would help if this guy has a more appealing voice that the villagers of Sohna could wake up to but that is just me. They may think that his voice is very stimulating. This temple where the singing and bell ringing is coming from is actually just over the embankment from our hotel. It is the temple that has the hot water springs. No matter where we traveled in India the story was the same. Everyone is very committed to their religion and that is represented by their devotion both morning and night as well as the ornate temples and mosques located throughout every city and village we passed through. There were also many temples on hilltops so that they could be closer to the gods and there were like a zillions steps that lead to those places of worship. So you can kill two birds with one stone get a killer workout and pray to the some 32,000,000 gods. They all must have buns of steel doing those steps every day! We have seen many many many gods and I am sure we will see many more. At the top of all these steps you see in the picture is a temple.....god bless them it must be like entering a triathlon every day or they have a lot to repent for.
