Helping the Needy during past time

in India we have many holidays. In this month of October the majority of Indians specifically the Hindus celebrated their major festival the Dussara with much pomp and gaity, for which the government establishments came to standstill for more than three days, as I am also working for a government organisation, I felt very boredom to pass my time though traditionally I celebrate the Dussara for one day. On remaining days I have spent my time doing some sort of service to disease and illness stricken people, I have got tremedous happiness by utilising my past time for some useful work. It is our moral duty to help the needy in times of their distress whereon account we not only get some sort of blessing from the God for our good deeds but also we also get self satisfaction.

Yes I absolutely subscribe the opinion expressed by initiator, In India, which is one of the highly traditional and cultural country, where millions of Hindus inhabit, where for every month they get one or two festivals, during the holidays if one spend his time for purpose of needy it is not only holy but also emulating. We cannot predict when we get distress and if we help the distressed people during distressing period it adds in lessening of the distress. The basic feature of human being is to cooperate with each other even there are some authenticated studies conducted by the scientiest which proves that even animals also help their co compatriot during the distress period. If human beings are not going to help each other who are going to help and it is minimum morality on part of us to help each other.
