Religion..

Someone told me why don’t you write something about religion…surely that person dint know how religiously orthodox I am…but it kept triggering my mind…hmm…

Religion, if every religion teaches peace, why don’t we have a peaceful world then?

It might seems precarious, to hear a sentence like that for people who know me, everyone has a right to feel and follow what they believe in, and I am not against anything but I am not for it as well, you just need to bind few things to maintain harmony and be a part of the society.

I believe I am being controversial and divisive today!!!! But it’s just my point of view and I don’t mean anything against anybody, I respect everyone’s faith and expect the same in return.

Around the world, genetically we all have two eyes, one mouth, and four limbs, moreover we cry when we are sad, smile when we are happy, and laugh when something is funny.

If we have same emotions then why is it that comparatively we don’t have the same notions?

The quintessential of a human behavior must be taken in account when it comes to religion (even mine); there are shocking observation, when we tend to see the similarities between different Castes and Religions.

For example: A parable in Quran speaks about, Ibrahim sacrificing his son Ismail, as Alla told him and wanted to test his faith likewise in Bible a parable speaks about Abraham sacrificing his son Isaac, as Lord wanted to test him.
It was also found by a French historian Alain Danielou in his study, he noticed in 1950 the structure of the Christian churches resembled that of the Buddhist Chaitya.

The usage of holy water is similar in Hindu as well as Christian culture. Amen for Christians and Amin for Muslim, which is said to be derived from the Hindu (Sanskrit word) "OM." There are many other similarities between Hinduism and Christianity, the different altars around churches which recall the manifold deities in their niches inside Hindu temples, or the Christian Trinity compared to the ancient Vedic trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.

Advaita Vedanta, the school of monism teaches that God is one however it is learnt that due to illusion or manifestation from god upon the minds of human beings, gods & goddesses or deities are formed.
In the Hindu philosophy the Sanskrit term Ishwara is used which is regarded as one, spiritual, formless, invincible, omniscient, universal and perfect, similar to Arabic term al-Rabb and in Christianity called Lord.

May be I have been subjective or trying to counterpart more about three religions but, when we stay in an Indian Society or any other society irrespective of one’s caste, class, religion or faith it is important to look more than the eyes meet.

I have been brought to a conclusion that it is better to catch hold of your faith and never to let that be circumcised under any authority or pressure, your faith is divine. But it’s also a matter of others, their faith and their circumcision also must not be altered.


I am not going to justify whether "god is one" am no one to do so, its on people to decide what they believe in, but as far as I know every god speaks about peace, harmony and mankind, which must be rendered to, in the society.

People must live head strong with their faith and also let live others with their, like you can’t forcibly love someone you just can’t forcibly worship someone.
