Basis of Religion

The root of all religions is Dharma (righteousness)... not faith! When not one religion existed on Mother Earth... the humanity still survived. How? Dharma is that inherent ingredient in the cosmic system which forms the sap of living form! Devoid of Dharma (righteousness) life simply could not exist on Mother Earth or in the Cosmos!

Let us go back in time about 3600 years before when Lord Krishna had not yet arrived! No Lord Krishna... the doctrine of Bhagavad Gita was absent! During the times of Lord Krishna not one religion existed on Mother Earth. Still humanity survived all hardships! What of the clergy claiming today... devoid of religion human beings reduce to the level of an animal!

It is not religion that forms the basis of life... it is spirituality... the ingrained spirit within every human being... our soul atman residing within our heart that forms the basis of life! It is our soul atman within that has manifested the human form to work out its karma... eradicate the impurities within similar as the metal in an ore needs an external medium to purify itself.

When no religion existed... the tree of Dharma that forms the basis of life existed in the cosmic system... on every life supporting planet! Dharma is that elixir vitae of the cosmic system which forms the basis of life in the Cosmos. It is Dharma and Dharma alone supported by which people about 3600 years before managed their day day-to-day affairs of life.

And what is Dharma? Our right to do what is just and right and not what was destined! One may follow a religion or not... all inherently follow the dictates of Dharma from within! Sooner Lord Krishna came into the scene... people started following the wisdom of Bhagavad Gita... the pearls of wisdom contained in the Sacred Bhagavad Gita!

About 1000 years later the tree of Dharma branched and descended Mahavira... the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism. Almost 77 years later the tree further branched and followed Gautama Buddha... the preceptor of Buddhism! About 423 years later followed Jesus Christ and finally came Prophet Mohammed. Till day the tree of Dharma keeps branching.

The prime reason why there are so many religions in this world.

Religion and hostility Religions are simply ways of life... following of the enlightened masters of the various era! Every religion stems from an enlightened master... never otherwise! Whenever one gains enlightenment and preaches the wisdom to the masses... one develops a following!

Religion and Science Religion primarily helps us keep a balance in life as a physical manifested being. We do not necessarily be religious in nature. We can simply follow the spiritual path. It is the field of spirituality that ultimately guides the destiny of a human being. What is right or wrong... must we given in or stand up and face the truth... how we shape our physical realm of life is all governed by spirituality. And what is spirituality?

Religion and Evolution Every religion primarily is a following of an enlightened master. No enlightened human being would ever teach or preach anything that is wrong. Having reached the level of enlightenment... the soul atman within having gained its pure original pristine form... any impurities within an enlightened being is absolutely ruled out. It is only when the dross within removes completely... one gains enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)... never before!

Why a Religion The second path is lived by our physical manifest itself... the one prompted by our ego. This is where religion comes into play. As we live life as a member of the community... we need to follow certain rules framed by our religions masters. If all the family members go to a temple, church or a mosque on a particular festive occasion... it becomes imperative for us to follow!
