HOW  CAN  ALL  THE  RELIGIONS  BE  SAME???

HOW  CAN  ALL  THE  GODS  BE  SAME???

Highly educated, class people generally for example go to Tirupathi.

Illiterate common people go to Mutyalamma.

Class people do pujas.

Mass people do slaughter. Otherwise they will not be pacified. They don’t require logical thinking.

WORSHIPPING:

In the ancient times

1.      Worshipping stone, wood, whichever they felt great or something special…

2.      On the name of natural gods, Indra, Varuna, Agni, Vayu, Water. They felt that they are most essential items of life. They should be revered. So started puja with some words which they only could understand.

3.      Homagundam was used to burn everything on the name of that god whom they revered whole heartedly.

4.      To appease gods started Aswamedha, naramedha, rajasuyam….

All those things were in B.C.

5.      Worshipping an idol in a temple was started somewhere in 3^rd or 4^th Centuries.

Every religion was started to meet some purpose.

Once religions were started as political parties are started today.

Religion’s main purpose was political.

If Judaism is there then why Christianity and Islam are started?

When a religion is started

1.      Name of the religion   2.      Founded by                  3.      When 4.      Base  …..

= = = =

Buddhism Gautama the Buddha 550 BC develop logic among people and explain how they are exploited by the pujari class

Similarly almost all the religions are started like them.

There are religions which disappeared from the surface of the earth.

Religion is the best way of subduing the public more powerfully than sword.

People have been afraid of some unknown power.

Truth itself is relative.

Once truth, may not be the truth of today.

Is God

1.      A man?                  Jesus

2.      A belief?               Allah

                                          veera bhraham garu, 

If

A dog has intelligence its god will be a dog.

A cow has intelligence its god will be a cow.

Similarly same to all.

No god could save the world ???

1.      I World War?                          2 crore people died     1914-18

2.      II World War?                                    5 crore people died                 1939-45

3.      450 years of war of roses        !!

4.      25 years of Vietnam war         in lakhs

5.      15 years of Korea                    in lakhs

6.      Three  crusades                       10 lakhs

7.      Little battles                            countless

Why wars ???

Only to prove that so and so god is great???

Whether God created Man? Or Man created God??

The above statistics show that gods are created by man.

It should be located at one place.

Every street, every village, every town have the same god. Eg., the temple of Venkateswara. Why?

Latest sects

1.      Brahma kumaries

2.      Niran kari baba

3.      Kalki bhagavan

4.      Ku Klux Klan

Most of the founders are illiterate people.

BRANCHES:

Whenever a religion was started there was only one.

When the followers started increasing, for the sake of funds, on some or the other cause it was divided into branches and sub-branches.

1.   Buddhism

i.                    Heenayanam

ii.                  Mahayanam

iii.                 

2.   Jainism

i.                    Swetambaras

ii.                  Digambaras

3.   Christianity

i.                    Roman Catholics

ii.                  Protestants

These main branches are also further divided into hundreds of branches with little differences.

a.       Seventhday Adventists

b.      Believers

c.       Yukabets …….

4.   Islam    

i.                    Sunnis

ii.                  Shias

iii.                Sufis

Again these are further divided into more than 300 branches.

If god is one, the why there are so many branches?

Every religion when it was started with a purpose. Later   pujari class entered and made things horrible.

Buddhism’s main aim was

1.      to introduce logic among people so that they can solve their problems

2.      to believe anything that is visible

3.      not to believe

i.                    any imaginary/virtual thing like heaven,

ii.                  hell,

iii.                pujari can do amendment to our sins,

iv.                good day,

v.                  bad day,

vi.                slaughtering animals for heaven,

vii.              all types of yagas

a.  aswamedham

b. naramedha

c.  poudarikam

d. vajipeyam

e.  raja suyam

4.      after the death of Buddha many condemned things entered into rituals.

If people are ready to believe and follow something virtual world who can stop them?

Common people are not logical.

1.      Slaughtering somebody to get gold from the under ground

2.      Black mass can solve many problems

3.      Common people are made into gods and started worshipping them.

4.      Puja can solve us from many sins and problems.

Common people do not have commonsense.

1.      Somnath Temple was looted for 17 times even then a lot wealth was donated to the idol.

2.      After the death of Satya Sai Baba, a lot of wealth was looted even then contributions increased.

3.      Lakhs of animal are slaughtered to appease gods

Everywhere contradiction.

1.      Everything is predestined – then why go to temples and do pujas?

2.      In lower things they are very sincere but if the wealth, selfishness increase immediately they broke all the norms.

3.      If god can save us why so  many gods?

4.      Is there is any proof that god really saved us?

5.      Which god said that they can be pleased if they do pujas in stead of work?

Instead of following TRUTH started followed, modified, and introduced many new customs.

What people do is really funny!

Can we clarify this?    NO

Why because nobody has seen exact physical structure of god.

In 1960s there was a story in primary section. There were four blind people. They happened to meet an elephant.

One touched its trunk. So he declared that elephant is like a trunk.

Second touched its leg. So he declared that elephant is like a pillor.

The third touched its stomach. So he declared that elephant is like a wall.

The fourth touched its tail. So he declared that elephant is like a snake.

Then how is elephant?

Really people have been imagining god for centuries and defining god differently because no body has seen him/her/that thing entirely.

It is just like four blind people trying to define an elephant. Their range of perception is low.

Don’t take word to word the meaning of words.

Really the perception of the viewers of god is very low.

Nobody has seen Him/Her/that Thing.

Don’t look at the world today as Alexander saw in BC.
