If you asked someone how they were doing around the month of April or May this year, especially in India where the pandemic had ravaged our bodies and souls, you’d observe a pattern.
“I am well, with God’s grace.”
“Hare Krishna, everything is alright.”
“Allah is great, we are all fine.”
“With Waheguru’s blessings, the family is in good health.”
“Thanks be to Mother Mary, we are all okay.”
It was as if Covid had brought God on the tip of our tongues.
In any case, I have always felt very blessed to belong to a land that inspires spirituality everywhere you look.
