General Forum: Religion | | God is shapeless, invisible, omnipotent, omnipresent, irrelegious.....U agree? | |
| As far as my knowledge goes, responsible authors and even poets tried to do their best to avert these religious problems. Poet tikkana, while writing mahaabhaarata, dedicated it to hariharanaatha, a blend of Siva and vishnu, as there used to be a lot of bloodshed between shaivites and vaishnavites on a large scale in those days. Regarding creation of religion, Hinduism was not a religion created by anybody. Even that name is also given by outsiders. It was called 'sanaatana dharma (meaning very ancient as well as eternal). Even the Upanishads try to understand the true nature of 'that ultimate thing', which is in no way connected with the foolish bloodshed we are seeing these days.
The problem comes due to the foolish argument of some people claiming 'Of course, God is only one. However, you should call him with the name given in my scripture, but not as given in your scripture.'
This tendency gives way for the otherside party to be offensive/defensive. This is the root cause of any religious problem.

Most of the religions were founded with this pious intention. However, what is being followed is something else.
As shallo said aptly, 'religion' is a means (tool) but not an end by itself.
1) If the tool is not functioning properly, you may have to sharpen it suitably.
2) If any improved material is discovered, it is not wrong to use it, retaining its shape.
3) If we go for an entirely new tool with which we are not familiar at all (both by material & shape), it may prove dangerous sometimes. So, better study the new tool as well as old tool before you decide to switch over to the new tool.
4) If you are of the opinion that none of the tools is useful, better do not use any tool. Then your process may be ( you may think the other way, which may be a fact sometimes) delayed without the help of any tool. But do not declare that nobody needs any tool!

Religion is only a source to realise God.Religion is not God.
Your faith in Him shows His existence.
I never deny anyone's faith.Right from gramadevatalu to sri satya saibaba.
But i always felt and want to tell through this religion thread that
We are one.We are here to help eachother and increase our knowledge.
live and let live(animals to humans).Dont waste your energy on emotions.Try to build a better future for the next generation.

Whatever it is, one thing is certain.
If at all God is there, He cannot be different to different people. Depending on the exposure, tradition, habits etc, man has imagined Him in different shapes.
Religious dogma is no religion's patent.

But some of the fictitious stories are true today.
We heard or read that weapons used by gods are powerful,using pushpakvimanaalu,sabdataraMgaalu,viewing distant things,etcc have become true today.
I think it is imagined or guessed by seers/sages that man's brain is brilliant and has enormous thinking power (knowledge)and has got adaptable nature.If it is concentrated on right way(yoga,meditation) he(man) can make miracles.
But if it is used in the wrong way (like raavana to osamabinladen)it shows disasters.
so it might be one cause our hindu philosophy kept knowledge under some people who are under discipline(brahmans etc--)But it is misused very badly on other people(sudras etc--)
And that imbalance still continues in the form of resevations

My Granny told me that they were real people and my Granny aint a Vedic Scholar .. there is every chance that the real content had been misinterpreted. What I read about Puranas and all that was from Chandamama and Balamitra.
But then I'm also not with the other group of ppl that believes Vedas had everything imbibed within themselves, even though I strongly believe that they are great sources of knowldge.
Also, there was every chance that the scholars created a few ficticious stories to make the common man believe in the facts and those stories got more popular than the actual parts.
My understanding of Einstien's equation got better when I read de Brogle's theorem lambda = h /mv that appears to say lambda is inversely proportional to velocity that violates the basic wave equation v = nu * LAMBDA -- thats when I realized the concept of Relativistic Mass and what Einstien actually said.

We are fortunate enough to be in this generation because education level has raised and people are understanding things.
Technology made it easier.
sorry for my spelling mistakes.
but donot mess up with understanding logics.

Depends on what you are .. aint it?
