True Religion

If we try to understand we would realize that every religion develops after an enlightened soul. The teachings of Jesus Christ culminated into Christianity and those of Gautama Buddha into Buddhism. Every religion primarily teaches us to follow the path of truthfulness, ethics and morality. There is never a religion of hate. Every religion is a different path to the same goal.

Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed... all are man gods who gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha) in their lifetime. Their teachings primarily focus on practice of brotherhood and living a life of joy and happiness. Every religion in essence teaches us to follow the dictates of God. That does not mean we start fearing God. No religion imparts the knowledge of terrorism.

All religions are true provided the teachings of the enlightened master have been correctly interpreted. In the present times... most religious masters twist the teachings of the masters to their benefit. This leads to disharmony and dissatisfaction amongst the masses.

Religion is only a means to an end. If we truly desire to search for God in this life we need to follow the path of spirituality and not religion. Religious masters act as lampposts in the journey of life. To take their assistance as and when necessary is our sole prerogative.

Hinduism religion is the oldest. Lord Krishna who gave the doctrine of Bhagavad Gita in the battle of Mahabharata was the first Avatar (God manifest in human form) of the era. His teachings in Bhagavad Gita are without a parallel. The knower of Bhagavad Gita becomes the knower of all. Why not pursue Bhagavad Gita as our goal of life!

There is nothing in Bhagavad Gita that is not as pure as God Almighty himself. The 700 shlokas (verses) in Bhagavad Gita are sufficient for any human being to cross the journey of life. The knower of Bhagavad Gita finally gains enlightenment and salvation and reaches the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism).

Mahavira came about 1000 years after Lord Krishna. About 77 years later followed Gautama Buddha. Another 423 years later followed Jesus Christ and finally followed Prophet Mohammed.

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?

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!

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!
