Religion and my Views
- Ms. Prasanthi Uppalapati

What is Religion? I don't know the exact definition but I feel it as something which defines a set of rules for a perfect behavious and it specifies certain great personalities as Gods and the very important one is that it provides us the ways and means to attain Moksha, Salvation. In other words, An Escape from Re-Birth. Right from the beginning, many religions exist. Some extinct, Some still survive. I haven't read about any religion. But I feel that every religion teaches morals. They all preaches us to love the fellow beings. In fact to care about the other living creatures also. These will be the Basic qualities which we should cultivate, to say wholeheartedly that we follows and respect particular religion. But what we see now in the world is quite contradictory. People behave exactly in the opposite way of what they are expected to do. These kind of people are in each and every religion. It is not the fault of the people but the so-called religious leaders who teach them so. Instead of killing people or dying in that endeavour in the name of God, it is better if they try to change the attitudes of the people.(First of all introspect their intentions and actions). I never can understand the desire of the people to extend their religion and also their reactions when anyone blames their religion. Why should we respond at all? Response also must be given to the people having certain standards. If anyone questions any of our practises, if they are sincere, we can clarify their doubts. Otherwise, we need not respond. Elephant's greatness do not decrease if Dog shouts at it. Religion's purpose is to spread Love but not Hatred and bloodshed. People by spreading violence and threatening the people who have other religious beliefs,used to think that they can get place in God's kingdom. But they can't understand that God is here only if we spread Love and Brotherhood. Do God have any other real kingdom than this world? Do God have any Children other than we, Creatures? Religion is something which should work at personal level in shaping our character and directing our activities. One should accept any religion with natural interest and devotion but not by force and provocation.
