He does not have a moment for rest or relaxation.
Take evening bath, sandhyavandana, sacrifices and japa.
Vaisvadeva has to be performed at night also before the Brahmin has his meal and retires to bed.
On most nights he takes only light food consisting of fruits, milk.(Pakahaara)
Or as an exception , he can take fresh food prepared out of Rice, like Idli, Dosa or Upma
On Ekadasi he has to fast the whole day.
There is not a moment without work.
I was surprised at the limited and sanitized version of Religion in Africa.
The impact, the subsequent colonization and the effort of Islam and Christianity) in trying to portray the Africans more or less animals and
uncivilized(Gandhi subscribed to this view), that there is great difficulty in understanding what the African Religion in its true form.
There is a wanton effort to obfuscate the issue by saying and confusing the readers by stating Indigenous and traditional.
The indoctrination and doctoring of the History of Religion in Africa, as in India, is to such an extent that 'Christianity is reported to have been
practiced by the Africans before Christ!
1.The African Religion does not have a Text and its traditions are transmitted orally like the Vedas and does not have Missionaries to spread it.
2.They do not have a founder.
3.They do not proselytize.
4.Just as in Hinduism African Religion is not a Sunday Religion but a way of Life.
5.They have one Supreme Deity and other Deities under it, functionality wise.
