The last of their kind,,,

A few days ago I heard someone talking about how in their local temple (here in UK) some old Indian ladies come and sing devotional songs in the evening. They were also talking about how peaceful it is and how they enjoy listening to the signing.

I told them that they should make a video of the whole thing.

They were surprised and asked me why did I suggest such a thing.

The reason why I said that was because just like an endangered species such things are going to disappear. The next generation of Indian grand-mothers will not be found singing devotional songs in temples. The next generation of grand-mothers may not even know how to speak properly the languages of India.

So they are the last of their kind... record them so that you can remember them.

Remember them so that you can realise what was lost.

Realise what you lost so that you can prevent further losses.
