Subject : The nuisance caused by the use of loudspeakers from the places of worship
Sir,
“Now-a-days, we are fast changing into a consumerist society. Its main disadvantage is the tendency in the masses to show off. It has encouraged the use of loudspeakers at the places of worship, including temples, mosques and gurdwaras during the early morning hours. The current trend is to show off even one’s divine faith on a very large scale. This is visible from the ear-shattering sound, coming from loud speakers in the morning from these places. The practice has become an integral part of our rituals to invoke gods for their blessings. People in their longing to show faith in God forget that their right to freedom ends where other’s nose begins. The stereo-typed, tuneless Bhajans pierce into the ears of a devoted student or a dying patient and disturb him in one way or the other. Their novel way of praying is at the expense of the livings’ peace.
Students are the worst sufferers on account of this nuisance. People should be made aware of the fact that loud noise does not express any religious faith and is merely a sign of frustration and superficiality.”
Please be kind enough to publish my above-mentioned ideas in your LETTER TO THE EDITOR column in order to open the eyes of all those who in their desire to please the Almighty disturb others.
Yours truly,
Guruswami
