Hi prasad I am not reffering to your mail...i was reading the thread from the beginging.....i was wondering why in the first place Subid mentioned about adhan (bank) as an example and why Satchidanadan quoted Kabir refering to that example. My other concern was when talking against any religious practices---- we tend to generalize 'all religions do the same". I was thinking how Subid was saying " prayers in temples " and "bank in mosque"...... it was just quick repsonse after reading the thread....
