A few days ago, while I was driving in my car, approaching a temple, I noticed a lady abruptly stopping in the middle of the lane. She proceeded to take off her footwear right there and stood in the middle of the road to pray in front of the temple for a few seconds before wearing her footwear and continuing to cross the road! This was during peak hour in the morning, with impatient drivers in two- and four-wheelers. She was willing to take the chance of getting run over in order to seek blessings from a divine being.
Similarly, I've seen drivers of two-wheelers who take one hand (or both hands) off the handle when they pass in front of a temple to fold their hands and pray for a millisecond. Do they realize that they may be putting their own or other lives in danger by doing so?
