The document describes the author's childhood visits to the Laxmi Narayan temple in Walaval, India. As a child, the author enjoyed the scenery along the narrow brick roads, small shops selling tea and snacks, and the centuries-old temple situated near a lake. While the author's beliefs drifted away from the family deity due to Marxist ideas in their youth, they now feel the family deity concept helps guide individuals towards cosmic consciousness over time. The author believes visiting the Dev Narayan temple, located in a scenic area, could help remind others of this cosmic consciousness.
