The One Religion—the Religion of Mankind

 

THE ONE RELIGION—THE RELIGION OF HUMANITY.

 

In today’s world, all that we see or hear, is the mindless killing of innocents in the name of religion. Be it the total destruction of the world trade center, or the serial bomb blasts in Mumbai India or the senseless massacre of the Christians in some of the eastern block countries, or Orissa in India, it is the innocent people, mothers , fathers, who suffers the most. They are forced to leave their habitat, homes, jobs, schools, and live in dilapidated refugee camps. No sectarian group who perpetrate such senseless mindless war think about the crying child, the wailing mother, the hapless father. Their only aim is to spread fear and terror all in the name of Religion. The perpetrators feel that they are doing a tremendous job and that by doing such an act they will be rewarded by the Divinity. God, Bhagwan, Allah, Christ, or any other name that one might give, will bless them with martyrdom.  Does ones conscious sustain such concept?? Does Bhagwad Geeta tell us to kill people?? Does Quran teach us to inflict pain and agony to our fellow human beings?? If not Then why in the name of religion such acts are perpetrated??

 

We must have some idea about the evolution of religion to understand that religion helps us to bind together within the group and between the groups.

From the very beginning when man was an advance ape scientifically termed as Australopithecus he lived in a group. Living in a group has lot of advantages, one of the prime being safety. Then there was the economic reason for man to be in a group. During the early Paleolithic period when man was a hunter gatherer, he needed a well defined group with a well defined division of labor among the group for the group to be economically viable. The animals that were hunted were as mammoth as the wooly mammoths. When the economy shifted from hunting gathering to agrarian the groups needed to be much larger. Therefore there needed to be some rules, rites, rituals, and certain norms that gave the group an inherent control from within. Thus becoming a well structured social group. The rites, rituals, and and certain norms were basically made for the groups to be more economically viable by creating an atmosphere of harmony and not discord at any times. Therefore we see the development of religion or a spark of it among the Neanderthals.  Neanderthals were the first hominids to intentionally bury the dead. Exemplary sites include Shanidar in Iraq, Kebara Cave in Israel and Krapina in Croatia. Some scholars, however argue that these bodies may have been disposed of for secular reasons. Likewise a number of archeologists propose that Middle Paleolithic societies such as Neanderthal societies may also have practiced the earliest form of totemism or animal worship in addition to their (presumably religious) burial of the dead. Emil Bächler in particular suggests (based on archeological evidence from Middle Paleolithic caves) that a widespread Middle Paleolithic Neanderthal bear cult existed.

The evolution of religion is closely connected with the evolution of the mind and behavioral modernity. Evidence for Paleolithic burials is often taken as the earliest expression of religious or mythological thought involving an afterlife. Such practice is not restricted to Homo sapiens, but also found among Homo neanderthalensis as least as early as 130,000 years ago. The emergence of religious behavior is consequently dated to before separation of early Homo sapiens some 150,000 years ago. The earliest evidence of symbolic ritual activity besides burials may be a site in South Africa dated to 70,000 years ago.

 

Does evolution of mind and behavioral modernity justify killing of thousands of innocent people ?? No religions in this world, in its truest sense preach cruelty and killing. Every religion in this earth preach unconditional love, brotherhood of man, and love thy neighbour. Quran, Bible, Bhagawad Geeta and all other religious text preach only one thing and that is help mankind in his hour of need irrespective of caste creed sex propagate love and not hate. Here in modern time we are all doing just the opposite.

 

The religious ideas also make their impact by crossing the boundaries of their origin (or dominance) to far off places. Religious faith of economically and militarily strong race (or nation) tries to dominate the weak and the underdeveloped. The mode of penetration and percolation of religious ideas may be through missionary activities, or through persecution by the sword and the pen. Tactful, but definite, attempts may also be made to derogate the native religious beliefs and customs, and to eulogize the religion of the strong. Thus, customs and rituals, religious faiths and traditions, art and literature, all find free flow from dominant culture to economically weaker one. The resistance of the native people is chiefly through the strength of their own religious principles and traditions. Militarily the native may not fight back, but the religion of the land might be capable of keeping its head afloat if its level of growth, faith in scriptural tradition, and history are strong.

 

Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa lived such a highly spiritual life that he made India strong in this field, and thus, Vedanta could sustain and extradite itself from the influence of narrowness of religious dogma. Moreover, in the process, a wonderful synthesis and harmony of religions was established as the basis for universal religion. In addition to Hindu ways, Sri Ramakrishna undertook the sadhana of both Islam and Christian faiths. Between 1868 and 1874 a devout Muslim and a Christian initiated Sri Ramakrishna in their respective methods of worship. On both the occasions, he had visions of the great Prophets of those religions, who merged in his body. On both the occasions Sri Ramakrishna was established in Nirvikalpa Samadhi state after the visions. He could then emphatically say: “As many faiths, so many paths!”

He explains that every human soul has an objective and that is to connect to the divine. It is like a mountain top and there are umpteen number of ways to reach the top. If one takes a route to climb the mountain top and half way through he decides that this route is treacherous and he comes down to take another route, he will never reach the top of the mountain. He has to take a route and stick by it. The route is the religion and the top of the mountain is the almighty. The Divine. Which ever way he chooses his ultimate destiny is that one point –The mountain top, The divine.

 

As intelligent creatures and as gods finest creation we must realize this and stop all this senseless and mindless brutality. In the vast space earth is like a pin head and the only place where Gods most precious creation “MAN” lives. There can be only one religion and that is of Humanity.

Religion In Administration

Human civilization-Evolutionary developed up consciousness through various species since starting from living being in mind is knowledge, and fruit of knowledge is intelligence. Intelligence has two aspects, one is attraction and other is repulsion. In the course of time attractions intelligent think to form society through accrediting and introduced various social and economical concepts to establish the humanity, justice and liberty among people. In the same time repulsion intelligent try to deviate to social concepts which creates poverty, ignorance ,violence ,destroy of natural resources ,less of production and productivity, social choas,anarchy ,and makes maximum people unhappy through out the world.

                             Therefore dominant of attraction intelligence in world wide social concepts is refine human civilization, and prominent of repulsion intelligence in social concepts is jungle raj for which religion concept evolved for balance the society.

Religion-The law that makes one to recognize the impact of repulsion intelligence or foolishness for sustaining life and growth both individually and collectively is called religion.

                                                              That means these laws  are framed by some one or more who know the temperaments system  means function of existence,consciousness,knowledge intelligence, complexes and mind etc. within man  or material or universe is called incarnation or prophet or guru , and born accustomed to place ,time and language .After physical death of incarnation or guru or prophet or guru ,disciples of concern guru through out the world have been creating a new community beside to old communities of other guru or incarnation or prophets.

                                                                    But each community goal is to makes feel happy self and other, and to balance socio-economy. But it is also very amazing fact that rather than other social concepts for distribution of natural resources directly or indirectly for fulfill the existential needs both individually or collectively ,religion have been also taking  one of vital part to create social chaos and anarchy ,and creating unnatural widows,orphans,poverty,ignorance and disables etc.

                                                       It is very remarkable that if religions taking vital part in social anarchy then other social concepts are also being naturally dominated by repulsion intelligent easily. This is the vital cause of war,discrimination,humiliation,corruption,social conflict and maximum percentage of world budget annually allotted for encounter the act of repulsion intelligent in society such as latest weapon  competition, country security,judicial,military  , and again creating another world wide treacherous and disintegration atmosphere .

                                        Then  it is clear that due to lack of perpetual goading about religion both theoretically or practically proper conception about purpose of life is not instilled among maximum people of the  world due to   lack of potentiality  to blow an perpetual truth about goal of human civilization among maximum disciples of all world wide communities .

                                        Then now question is how can such perpetual conception of life to be instilled among maximum people of the world scientifically is a moral challenge or duty or responsibility of front line disciples of world wide communities. A simple common realization about existence of self and universe is described below in scientific way for draw a perpetual conception towards God.

A-Mine is consists of existence, consciousness, life, mind, various temperaments, organ systems, anatomy, and these are reacted by environmental impulses to realize as self.

B-Environmental impulses are created by natural and artificial activities of surrounding matters, material and living being.

C-Artificial activities are act of knowledge and intelligence of man.

D-Providence made  universe ,natural resources,existence,consciousness,life ,mind, organ systems and anatomy are provoking to create knowledge and intelligence, and contrary to it animosity or foolishness or ignorance.

E-Man made revolutionary civilization (governance system, cultivation, industry, trading, service, infrastructure etc.) is created by knowledge and intelligence, and reforming selves to achieve the temperament of happiness in mind in day to day life, and happiness is GOD.

F-Therefore every post, position, gaiety, technology, infrastructure, laws, dignity, condition of man, prominence or dominance is stand for achieve happiness, and inner urge of every living being is to amuse happiness.

                                     Temperaments of mind are traits of chromosome, and traits of chromosome are   one’s character. This is called instinct and habit or born quality or in other word   potentiality of reactivity towards outside and inside impulses. This is the specification bar of intelligence and ignorance.Intellgence is two aspects, one is attraction and other is repulsion, but ignorance is act of both repulsion intelligence and foolishness. Then ignorance is natural temperaments within man which creating all social disturbance.

                                   But there is a remedy inscribed in “Holy Book” of world wide communities to reform the ignorance.Therfore we need religion. Flow of Perpetual truth about life and growth among people of all communities (what ever percentage may be of total world people) can reform or control or resist the world wide ignorance act, and facilitate to convert ignorant to attraction intelligent.

                                             On the other hand there is also system to become attraction intelligent to repulsion intelligent within one, if one is deviated from own Ideal principle. Obeying the principle of living Ideal is simple procedure to lead a happy life with deep professional attitude.

                                               That means administration is nothing, but a practical  act of religion   to control or refine  the ignorance  act in every filed of society to establish the harmony,  distinctiveness   and liberty by improving the fulfilling or nurturing or nourishing  potentiality of socio-economy concept like legislative,judicial,executive( both private and government),cultivation,industry,trading,service etc.Such act of administration in form of laws or ethics or custom  will draw self happiness and other happiness is motto of human civilization. Feeling happiness means achieve of GOD.

                                              It is clear that without feeling God having post, position, material, gaiety is intelligence act of God gifted natural resources management within one, but not God.

                   Real adherence towards own community Living Ideal normally is a simple way to achieve   God with having intelligence of God gifted natural resources management .when one implements the principle of Living ideal in every decision by taking initiation and repeating the “Holy Name” with remembering the Holy statue of Living Ideal  normally with deep professional attitude  , mind  spontaneously  come over right brain .Continuous flow of  mind over right brain grows the potentiality to recognize the repulsion thought and decision is higher consciousness, and slowly mind hook the happiness is a system of coordination between temperaments and organs. This the born purpose of every one.

                                      Administrators of regional and international social concepts can drive the world in prosperous, trust, integrate and happy track within short period simply if maximum of them want heartily to see, hear and feel God within life period.

Importance of Studying Religion as an Academic Discipline

Religion is an academic discipline that studies religion beliefs, religion systems, their origin, theories and evolution. It also studies human behavior from different perspectives. That is to say, it is based on such sciences as psychology, anthropology, philosophy, sociology, and history of religion.

Why should we study religion?

Religion has always been the main instrument used to control people. It influenced literature, politics, law, art, history and economics. Religious beliefs inspired people for heroic deeds and forced them to commit the acts of terrorism. They were the ground for human rights, social justice and toleration. According to the religious beliefs, people established their national traditions, clothing and ethic rules. It is impossible to open a magazine or watch television without and not to run into religious debates or discussions.
Religion encourages students to discuss the questions of ethic and moral, thus it makes them more educated in these issues and improves their critical thinking.
Through religion young people come to the understanding of different cultures and historical events. They learn to evaluate the better world and to see the essence of many things.
Religion encourages people to learn about themselves and about relations with other people. Students learn about the past in order to have a glance in the future.
Today, most people assume that we live in the world without religion due to the scientific and technological discoveries. Moreover, some religious issues were disapproved, however, people always rely on God in difficult situations. In addition, we still find religion everywhere around us, in movies, songs, TV shows and in the everyday life.

Overall, religion is a part of life of every person as well as the of the whole world. It helps us to understand the essence of our existence and to learn about the world around us. Studying this science, we broaden our minds and change our attitude to the world.
