Are you religious?

Religious processions (Nagar Kirtans) across the country are in full swing awaiting Guru Purub scheduled for 13th November this year.
A similar procession took place near my house by some local Sikh community.
The very thought of a religious procession upbeats my feet to the drums being banged at first. The intensity to which drums are banged signal the quality of the procession-disciplined arrangement of people (particularly young children of Sikh community run schools) in an array producing tactics, mammoth chariots, elephants, camels, neat uniforms and desi ghee halwa as Prasad. Sikhism has always made me anxious-firstly because of their innocent attitude of catering people, no matter is it a marriage or a procession or whatsoever. Secondly, the delicious food they make, though it makes you look fatter than ever. Thirdly, the amount of fear they have from their God. A Sikh child's upbringing is such that he starts respecting and enjoying the religion. An initiative by parents to send them to a Sikh school, maintaining their own contacts with Sikh people around so that their children could get along well, a recurring visit to Gurudwara to make them realize the importance of their religion.
These were obviously the positive sides; and, not to mention, there's a declining trend followed in Sikhism too. Unfortunately, the procession this year didn't make me happy due its poor quality that is deteriorating year by year-shady uniforms, lethargic drum beats, casual attitude and small in length.(This couldn't be the inflation effect, for sure.)
Sikh's friendly attitude is now contrasted with their violent rage and anger as seen during the communal conflicts.
Though their visits to Gurudwara is one of the many things that has not been inflicted with time; however, if this trend continues people would go more for confessing rather then asking Him to fulfill their wishes.
This is not only observed is Sikhism only, every possible religion on earth is showing this trend. I'm not writing to hurt the sentiments of Sikh’s, but I’m writing to show the contrasted trend that needs urgent attention.
No matter whether you’re a Christian or a Sikh or a Hindu or a Muslim, what matters is your perspective towards life. Your own religion discards you being a follower if your deeds are imperfect. One should make sure that one’s work is one’s religion and should start chanting their work.
Let’s make one unified religion and make sure that it doesn’t deteriorate with time.
