INDIA is one of the oldest civilizations with a kaleidoscopic variety and rich cultural heritage. It has achieved multifaceted socio-economic progress during the last 60 years of its Independence
Even since I have come to this world I am trying to find the meaning of a religion which has created so much of havoc across the globe. I am global citizen from India and still searching for a meaning of religion. The reason why I am searching is because of too many things that are happening in front of our eyes in the name of religion.
I will list some of the following incidents that I have seen & heard in the last few months.
- Someone is creating hatred against their own country men
- One religious group burnt churches & rapes servants of god & burns people alive
- Across many states (Gujarat, Orissa, Assam, Karnataka, Kerala & many many more.) in
India people have targeted churches & burnt people alive - Religion has become political agenda and people of India have fallen to this trap and
allowed politicians to divide the country into pieces - A ghastly terrorist attack in the city of Mumbai on 26-Nov-08 which killed more than
180 people and left 300 wounded. - Politics did not even spare the war zone; while our real hero’s were fighting the enemy
tirelessly, politicians were busy making their allegations to gain mileage.
If you pay close attention to what is causing all these mayhems in our country, you will soon realize that there are no direct answers. You start probing deeper then you start getting some answers such as political parties, politicians, racial divide etc. Still this is not the correct reason.. you really have to dive deep into your inner heart and mind to find the real answer. According to me it’s WE THE PEOPLE who are responsible for this mess.
As a country we are able to eradicate illiteracy to large extent in a true sense, but we have become complete real illiterates when it comes to understanding our self consciousness.
No religion has ever taught us hateredness, be it Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Jainism, Buddhism etc. We have become intelligent enough to twist the pages of holy scripts in our favor to score points and spread the divide & rule philosophy.
I am not sure by when & how we will be ever wake up to realize these simple tricks of some so called leaders who do not know the meaning of LEADER. They are completely illogical, uneducated directionless & does not posses any professionalism to be called a real leader.
Let’s see things around us and see is there any religion exists. When Sun shines every day he does not look at a Muslim or a Hindu house, but selflessly shies all through the day to provide direction to make the right moves in life. Look at Jasmine flower that spreads fragrance, aroma all across and creates such a wonderful atmosphere to live and so on. I can give 100’s of examples which does not have any religion, caste or a community.
Look at our own lifeline; I do not think a Christian’s blood colour is different from a Hindu or a Muslim. When god has not made any difference, why create temporary boundaries and ruin our lives. We have only one life to live and I think we all should make use of this golden opportunity to develop universal brotherhood and lead a very meaningful life.
I firmly believe that mother earth is a large family (Vasudhaivakutumbakam) has only one religion which is humanity. I am proud to belong to the religion called INDIAN which has sheltered and is still fostering hundreds of different religions, languages, cultures, traditions and still able to present a bold face to the world.
I think it’s essential that we erase all these tiny boundaries which are creating so much of hatred amongst all of us. We need take the ctarter of creating harmony, love, peace & brotherhood among the fellow countrymen to change the way we lead our life forever.
We have a very limited life to battle many wars which needs to be won and we should not waste our time to prove each other who is better & stronger. We need to prove to everyone that INDIA is a country of billion people who speak many languages and present diverse cultures but still can live as one nation. I think we have a chance of a lifetime to prove to the world at large on our Unity in Diversity.
I pray to all Mighty Gods of all religions in this world to shower enormous Strength, Courage & Will to spread PEACE, HARMONY and LOVE among all Citizens of this world.
"As fellow countrymen we need to understand and appreciate diversity. We need to bow our Head in MOSQUE's, Kneel in our TEMPLE's and Pray in CHURCH's. You & I are the sons of ONE RELIGION and that's the SPIRIT of ONE NATION, Dear fellow country men, the time has come to get united and fight for universal brotherhood. "
AWAKE, ARISE and STOP NOT till we achieve UNITY … Jai Hind…
