One very important source of knowledge is flok lore . lore means learning . flok lore is the learning or knowledge that has not been written down. it has been passed down orally from generation to generation.
what is interesting about folk lore? while the main body of knowledge is passed down , the details may change from area.
so the belief that ”, if you did not observe the rites of god AIIYANAYAK you would be lost , has a real meaning. perhaps the fear of god would have made people not to forget to take very essential precaution.
