There have been many cases of stampede in temples. Latest is in M.P. Naturally, there is limit to space in temples but there is no regulation of traffic and crowd with consequential disasters. I wonder when people, devotees and authorities rise to occasion.

I don't have an iota of pity on these foolish devotees who want to gain instant and direct Moksha instantly ignoring the safety aspects.

Who knows, probably God heard them and granted it to them instantly.

Yes, god heard them, but the pity is they got the Moksha in the most tortuous way crushed under the feet of thousands of other devotees.

Probably they got rid of hell to reach to the place where they always wanted to be. What a few hundred feet mean where million is on stake!

It has now become so common in our country. I don't understand why devotees do not use their common sense to take proper precautionary measures when they visit so crowded temples or other places where gathering is so big. :huh:

At places such as there where the numbers of people go out of control, it is better to avoid going such places when there is bound to be large crowds because no matter what precaution people may take individually, they are of no use when a stampede starts. So better not go join such mobs!

I see. You are right it seems. so the criteria for reaching heaven is getting crushed before death? Now the wisdom dawned over me.

A good suggestion. It is better to visit temples in normal days when there is not gathering for special occasion.
