Politics divides, culture unites
A tone per day of very fragrant, fresh flowers including Tulsi and Lotus is supplied to Lord Balaji of Tirupathi for all the ten days of Brahmotsavam during the second week of October. This is the offering by a voluntary organization in Tamilnadu namely Pushpa Kainkarya Sabha of Palani in Dindugal District. If one remembers that politics was setting fire to peaceful life in Andhra over Telungana issue this balming effort on the cultural front will stand out as something wonderful. While politics divides, culture unites. Another instance in the same pattern is the several tones of flowers of various colors that Tamilnadu’s Kanyakumari District offered to Onam celebrations during September in Kerala. Flower arrangement in public places is an integral part of Onam and the Tamilnadu flower market was only too happy to meet the demand from the Kerala devotees. Again, across the artificial borders of States it is the culture acts as a bond uniting people in a very auspicious mission.
