When love begins to sicken and decay, it uses an enforced ceremony: William Shakespeare
It is no wonder as modern India relegates religious rites to background or cover up activities and plunges head on into a hedonistic western way of life. Propelled by the media boom and westernized education, religious and humane values see unprecedented decline. The reason? Because people have stopped factually loving God. Therefore they see religious rites as social norms or ancestral enforcement, and not as a method connecting to the Supreme.
That love for the Supreme is nourished by a holistic process of bhakti-yoga centered around hearing and chanting of Lord's glories. When this love is developed then the there would be no enforced ceremonies for official, superficial expression of love, but, the ecstasies of love for God would manifest in varied festive ceremonies.
