A common village hut.

India is essentially a Hindu nation where the cries of hopelessness, poverty, and desperation never cease. Thousands of remote villages exist, in which most people live in small one-room shacks with dirt floors, no electricity, no running water, no bathrooms, and unsanitary living conditions.
|
|
Even though these village people work hard, they still can barely provide enough to feed their families. Most people live on unsanitary water and cheap white rice that has no vitamins; which can barely appease their hunger, but brings them terrible stomach pain. Orphans of all ages are abandoned, left alone on the streets to try to survive, because both of their parents have died an early death. Elderly folks, forsaken by their children, struggle to live on the streets by begging for scraps of food from the nearby village people.

In India, pain and suffering always continue.Thousands die daily, slipping into eternity at a rapid rate. Not only are the cries of physical hunger and sickness heard, but even worse, the cries of spiritual hunger abound.
|
|
|
|
Empty eyes and hopeless hearts are desperately craving for something to fill the void in their lives. Millions of souls fervently cry out to numerous deities in vain hope of salvation, trying to appease their gods to the point of even bringing more destruction to their already weak bodies. These desperate souls hope that they can finally have some rest and be delivered from living in fear, but still the nightmare continues.

Spiritually, they will do anything to have their sins washed away, but the void in their heart only grows deeper. Idolatry and pagan worship has caused the land to be overshadowed by intense spiritual darkness and a relentless poverty that consumes everything within its reach.
