Truth is one.

The question is why pray ? If each one is satisfied with what ever answers
he gets, there is no problem.
Right or wrong is relative. Element of time, place and to whom is
important. In my own religion there umpteen practices we carry out without
asking questions. Many of them we carryout as if a routine and many times
with disinterest.
Self realisation is not a matter of numbers.
With Love,
Gopal
