Religion and Fear

 धर्म?... क्या है धर्म ...

धर्म का मुख्य आकर्षण यह है कि यह अनिश्चित दुनिया में सुरक्षा की भावना देता है।

रोमन कैथोलिक धर्म इस भय को पवित्र आत्मा के सात उपहारों में से एक मानता है।

संपादक जॉन मैलन ने लिखा है कि "फियर ऑफ द लॉर्ड" में "डर" को अक्सर "दासता के डर" (मुसीबत में पड़ने का डर) के रूप में गलत समझा जाता है।

धर्म समूह में एकजुटता और सहयोग को बढ़ावा देता है। तथाकथित लक्ष्मण रेखा को पार करने वालों पर सर्वशक्तिमान ईश्वर की दृष्टि ने पुराने समाज को व्यवस्थित रखने में मदद की।

इसलिए, इसमें कोई आश्चर्य नहीं होना चाहिए कि नास्तिकों की संख्या में सबसे अधिक वृद्धि उन देशों में हुई है जो अपने नागरिकों को अधिक आर्थिक, राजनीतिक और अस्तित्वगत सुरक्षा प्रदान करते हैं।

इस्लाम, जो दुनिया में सिर्फ़ 1400 साल पहले आया था, इस समय दुनिया में सबसे तेज़ी से बढ़ने वाला धर्म है। और इस्लामोफ़ोबिया पिछले डेढ़ दशक में दुनिया के सामने सबसे बड़ा संकट है।

इस धर्म के बारे में दोनों बातें परस्पर विरोधाभासी हैं। अगर इस्लाम इतना डरावना है तो यह इतनी तेजी से दुनिया भर में क्यों फैल रहा है? 

और यदि यह इतना आकर्षक है कि दुनिया भर में लोग इसे अपना रहे हैं, तो जो लोग इसमें विश्वास नहीं करते, उनमें यह इतना भय और भ्रम कैसे भर देता है?

पूरी जिंदगी में सबसे ज्यादा डर इंसान को खुद से ही लगता है कि कहीं वो खुद को खो ना दे। और यही अनिश्चितता ही धर्म का आकर्षण है।

विशेषज्ञों का मानना ​​है कि मनोवैज्ञानिक, तंत्रिका संबंधी, ऐतिहासिक, सांस्कृतिक और तार्किक इन सभी कारणों को देखते हुए धर्म कभी भी मनुष्य से दूर नहीं जा सकेगा। 

धर्म, चाहे भय से या प्रेम से कायम रखा गया हो, अपने आप को कायम रखने में अत्यधिक सफल रहा है। 

यदि ऐसा न होता तो संभवतः हमारे साथ ऐसा न होता।

Kashi - The cultural capital of India

In the evening, the fluttering waves of the Ganges tell the rustling winds that the splendor of Kashi is returning again.

The city of Mahadev is ready again today as if its golden age has returned.

Kashi is one of the oldest cities in the world ... Probably the oldest city in the world.

Who is not related to the earth even though he is on the ground,

Who is bound by the boundaries of the world, but cuts the bondage of all (Mokshadayini).

Who is adorned on the banks of the Mahatrilokapavani Ganges and is well-served by the gods,

Capital of Tripurari Lord Vishwanath,May Kashi protect the whole world.

It is believed that this puri is situated on the trident of Lord Shankar.

Therefore, it does not get destroyed even when there is a catastrophe.

Being situated in five kos between the rivers Varuna and Asi, it is also called Varanasi.

The meaning of the name Kashi is - where Brahman is illuminated.

It is believed that only Kashi gives direct liberation.

It is also believed that there is no rebirth of the one who sacrificing life in Kashi.

The word Kashi means the city of light.

Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar of Indore built the present Kashi Vishwanath temple in 1777.

In 1835, Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Punjab donated one thousand kilograms of gold to get its two peaks decorated with gold.

The Kashi Vishwanath corridor connecting the ancient Kashi Vishwanath temple to the ghats of the Ganges in Varanasi.The corridor, said to be the PM’s dream project, has been built over an area of 5,000 hectares.A Rs 800 crore project was launched by the PM in his parliamentary constituency in March 2019, with an aim to restore the "lost glory" of the spiritual centre.

During the inauguration ceremony, Modi has termed Kashi as avinashi (indestructible) and asserted that a "new history" was being created and "we are fortunate to have witnessed it"

Even though Kashi has witnessed destruction, it has also witnessed the valour of brave warriors, the Prime Minister said.

They said "When you come here, you will not see only faith. You will also feel the glory of your past here. You will see how ‘prachenta’ (ancient) and ‘naventa’ (modern) come alive together. This whole new complex of Vishwanath Dham is not just a grand building. This is a symbol of the Sanatan culture of our India."

This ancient city still enjoys the distinction of being the cultural capital of India.

Religion and way

Religion does not mean religion, it means rules.

Primarily, dharma means certain rules that are relevant for us to function in this existence.

Sanatan Dharma is the eternal law. There are certain elements or fundamental aspects of life that will always apply. Sanatan Dharma means that we have an insight into how life always works.

Sanatan Dharma refers to that dimension of life which never changes, which is the basis of our existence. Whether it is a germ, a worm, a bird, an animal, a plant, all are governed by Sanatan Dharma, they follow it. 

Sanatan Dharma is the basic law which governs the whole existence. This is not a punishment imposed by human beings on each other, so that the society should be kept under control. The practical rules which keep on changing from generation to generation are different. 

Sanatan Dharma is not a religion of practice, it is a religion of existence.

If you can understand the Shruti of life, then only you can find the rhythm. Shruti is already decided by the universe. Now it is up to you to find the right rhythm, so that life can go on beautifully like wonderful music. 

If you do not find the right rhythm then the same Shruti which is the helper of life will destroy you.

You cannot become a tree or a dog, a cat, a cow, an elephant...etc. The source is the same for all, but the manifestation is of many types. 

So it is clear that there is some legislation which is running this system, whatever it may be.

Basically, the whole system of yoga is so that we live in harmony with existence, so that our life is blissful, full of gaiety and according to our full potential. There is only one thing that can go wrong with our life and that is - does our life find its full expression or not? 

What can go wrong with a tree? That is, whether he will grow to his full potential or not, will he die in the half-grown stage? It is the same with a human being.

If you are in tune with the law of creation, you will grow to your full potential. If you are not in the rhythm then your progress will not be complete, your growth will stop in the middle.

If you want to have a fully developed life, it is very important that you understand the laws that are the basis of your life.

Sanatan Dharma is neither yours nor mine, it is created by the universe. It's your job, and mine, to be in tune with this.

Religion

What is religion .... That which can be adopted is religion.

“Dharyate iti dharmaah” means that what is to be worn is dharma. According to Hindu religion, for the fulfillment of the pleasures of the world, it is religion to hold and consume the holy qualities and deeds of the public.

The natural qualities of any object are called its dharma, just as the dharma of fire is its heat and radiance. There is no power of fire without heat and intensity. Therefore, the natural quality of man is humanity. ... But the Vedas say - Manurbhava means become a human being (Rigveda 10-53-6).

Religion is a mystery, a feeling, a dialogue, and a search for the soul. Religion is self-discovery. The 'sound' of the word dharma suggests that there is something that needs to be known, that there is some power or there is some mystery. It is infinite and unknown.

Greeting Guru Drona, Shri Krishna said, 'Your life has always been a source of inspiration for others. But when the time came to choose religion, you did not choose religion but characters (people) by falling in love with your son. You gave skillful education to your disciples but did not give knowledge of character and religion.

And finally the same question..What is religion?
