Excerpts from an Akshay Kumar interview. Not saying that this is what everyone needs to do because everyone is free to practice his way of praying, but I liked it and thought of sharing. Do read it. ---------------- Q: At one point of time, you were the most famous regular visitor to Vaishno Devi. Ive seen your photos in earlier years with the guys running many small shops on the trek route, though not recently. Kitni purani association hai Vaishno Devi shrine se? A: Bachpan se hai. Paidaishi. My parents took me there when I was a few months old. Q: When did you first go on your own? A: I must have been about 14. Q: How frequently do you go now? A: Nahi, ab main nahi jaata. Vaishno Devi main bohot maanta hoon lekin ab wahan jaata nahi. Its like this. Kai saal main gaya, wahan bhi, koi bhi mandir. Now when I travel, theres a fair amount of expense. Business class tickets, hotel rooms, bodyguards, all that. Do-dhai-teen laakh rupaiye kharcha ho jaata hai ek baar mein. Ab main kya karta hoon ki agar mujhe mann hua Vaishno Devi jaane ka - soch leta hoon dimaag mein ki jaana hai. Phir dhai lakh nikalta hoon. Tata Memorial Cancer ya yahaan-wahaan ja ke kisi ko bhi de deta hoon. Vaishno Devi ke darshan ho jaate hain. Kahin jaane ki zaroorat hi nahi hai. Woh mere ghar mein hi hain. Yeh baat meri der mein samajh aayi ki mandir ka matlab hai man andar. Mata ki itni meher hai mere pe, lekin unhonein hi mujhe yeh raasta dikhaya hai. Aisa nahi hai that I wont go at all - Jammu shooting hogi toh zaroor jaoonga, nazdeek hi hoon. Koi bolega uss pe film bana rahe hain aur main kaam karoon, zaroor karoonga. Q: So youve moved to a philosophy of moving away from the formalities of religion? A: If I give the money to someone, and he says, mera bhala ho jayega bhai, main tere liye Bhagwan se dua karoonga -isnt that better than me spending it on going?
