Anita Kaul comments :
I read the article in office but could not stop tears rolling down my cheeks. The picture of Shivaratri celebrations in Srinagar was moving in front of my eyes. You have so beautifully given the significance of each and every activity which we are unaware of. Hats off to you Sir. To keep our traditions alive we need guidance and teaching from learned scholars like you. I would appreciate if you could forward such articles by mail. Once again thank you from the core of my heart.

Preeti Dhar comments :
Dear Mr.Raina
I am very impressed after reading this article.Young generation of kashmiri hindu`s don`t know all this story behind the name "hairath".I am really thankful to u for writting this wonderful article.

Thanks once again.
    

LinuxGuru comments :
its reli gud to see such a gud article abt "hayrath"..
but why dont yu use some pure kashmiri words in it and its equivalent hindi or english, we have different n our culture too, so keep a line of distinction between rest and us.
N requestfully, I wud like to say , use some Greek phones too , in order to carry the accent of koshur , like yu guys used "tamul chut" , use "tamul~ey tso~t";
one more example , like prasad , we call it Naved not prasad , so Sarcastically , I emphasise yu , plz dont embed non-kashmiri words in the our culture and language, it will spoil us.
I Hope yu Got me...
Namaskar
