Spiritualism

South is speculative – One of the most important rules of speculation is ‘HEDGING’. 

Professional speculators usually hedge their bets by investing their limited funds into various shares, commodities, scrips, debentures and bonds just to play it safe. If one side falls the others will help keep the balance.

Some religious people regardless of where they belong are humble and noble souls who sincerely believe that as  they themselves are inferior to gods, demigods and godmen, they have to appease them all by worshiping them.

Lord Venkatachalapati’s Thirupathi is in south. Puttaparthi Saibaba, and Swami Raghavendra belong to south. Tamilnadu in south is well known the world over for its temples. The three districts of Tamilnadu, namely Madurai, Kumbakonam, and Kanchipuram boast of at least 500 temples big, medium and small each. Besides the numerous temples in the state it is said that numerous of them are being built even now.

Rameshwaram is a religious place in Tamilnadu, visited by devotees from all over the country. Swami Vivekananda was a Bengali but his rock memorial is in Kanyakumari in Tamilnadu. Sri Aurovindo Ghosh was a Bengali but his Ashram is in Pondicherry in south. Ramana Maharishi’s Ashram is in Tamilnadu. 

The other southern states namely Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Rayalseema, Karnataka, and Kerala are all famous for their numerous temples and shrines. 

There are temples for various gods and demigods in Tamilnadu and devotees worship in all of them regardless of caste or creed. There are Hindus including my humble self who have lit candles in churches.

Devotees in south just want to worship regardless of who the worshipped is.
