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!
When Gautama
Buddha gained enlightenment... the religion was termed as Buddhism
and the teachings as the middle path. Similarly when Prophet Mohammed
gained enlightenment... his following was termed as followers of
Islamic Dharma!
When Mahavira
gained enlightenment... his following was not termed as Jainism
as Jainism is a way of life and not a religion in its literal term.
One who has won his real self... soul the atman within becomes a
Jina and is termed as Jain... and the teachings Jainism!
Hinduism
has been termed as a religion... primarily, it is a Dharma... Sanatana Dharma
(Dharma that exists from times immemorial)! Hinduism is the essence... the sap
of all religions! When Lord Krishna descended on Mother Earth... existed only
Dharma. It was
only 1000 years later came Mahavira, about 77 years later Gautama Buddha, about
423 years later Jesus Christ and finally followed prophet Mohammed! When religious
did not exist... how did humanity survive? The complete humanity survived due
to Dharma... Sanatana Dharma! In
our present phase of life one is born into a religion based on the residual balance
of karma of the previous manifestation. Having born into a religion... one can
always follow a different religion without converting into one! Hinduism
is one such religion... a Dharma that can be followed by one belonging to any
religion. One need not convert to Hinduism religion to follow the tenets of Hinduism!
Truthfully Hinduism forms the base... the spine of all religions! Devoid
of Hinduism... humanity simply could not exist on Mother Earth. Hinduism forms
the soul atman... the core of all religions! It exists from times immemorial and
hence has also been termed as Sanatana Dharma. Different
religions exist on Mother Earth... the essence of all being the same! The primary
teachings of all religions take all towards the same goal. Teachings of all enlightenment
masters carry the same essence! As
many human beings on Mother Earth... as many interpretations of the teachings
of the enlightened masters can there be! It is only vested interests of the religious
leaders that creates disharmony amongst various religions. In
no sacred scripture... an enlightened master has ever stated that my religion
is the best... the only path to come to God! Those pursuing the path of spirituality...
seeking God must assimilate pearls of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita... the
doctrine given to mankind by Lord Krishna! Essay
