China’s youth changed the way of worship, donation online, blessings through Bluetooth? Know the whole story:

News India Live, Digital Desk: The world is changing and in this race of change, the ways of devotion and connecting with God are also changing. The most recent and surprising example of this has come from China, where a unique sight is being seen in the temples these days. Here devotees are donating to the Lord online and then touching their mobile phones directly to the idol to seek blessings.

In the video going viral on social media, it can be clearly seen that instead of donation boxes, QR codes are installed near the idols in the temples. Devotees come, donate money by scanning this code with their mobile and then touch the same phone with the feet or hands of the idol of the Lord. They believe that by doing this, God’s blessings reach them digitally on and through their phones.

Why is this way of worship changing?

This new trend is becoming very popular especially among the youth of China. There are some big reasons behind this:

1. Digital life: Today’s generation does everything on the phone. From shopping to payment, everything is digital. In such a situation, they are also connecting their religious sentiments with this digital world.
2. Facility: Now there is no need to carry cash to donate. With just one click you can convey your devotion to God. It is very easy and convenient.
3. A new thinking: Some people believe that just as a phone can bring all kinds of energy, good and bad, in the same way, touching an idol of God can also bring positive and divine energy into it.

Is this correct?

A debate has erupted on social media regarding this new method. Many people are calling it the need of today’s time and are praising it. He says that the feeling is more important, not the method. If devotion is true, no matter what the medium, it reaches God.

At the same time, some people are calling it a mockery of tradition. He believes that the real meaning of devotion and its sanctity is being lost due to such things. This is just a trend, which has less emotion and more show off.

Whatever the reason, this incident shows how deeply technology has seeped into every aspect of our lives, even our relationship with God. Now it remains to be seen what other colors this ‘digital’ form of devotion shows in the future.
