Read in Sai's blog that friday word was Gold and thought I should try my hand at writing a blog about gold too. In India especially Gold is an extremely important commodity. From ancient times Gold has always been a favourite with women and they were supposed to enhance the beauty of the wearer. Artists let their ideas take wings when they carved and made intricately designed ornaments in Gold which is an extremely malleable metal. One always read in Indian mythology that the king would award Gold coins for a job well done.
Gold meant security. Thats the reason why the gold jewellery given to the bride is called stree-dhan. During hard times this same Gold can be sold to get cash.... it never devaluates.
Gold denotes all that is important in your life. You think of the colour gold when you hear someone saying "rays of hope"..... the light at the end of the tunnel is also golden. The good old days when life was good are referred to as the golden era. Theres a brightness attached to those days which you can never forget.
The most important gold in our life is the golden Sun which gives us and the whole earth and it's nature LIFE.
