A religion is a guideline or discipline for a serene life in this world. God is a fear to limit us to follow the right path, and be afraid of an external power that rewards or punishes you, as per your deeds.

Hinduism is one of the oldest religions, evolved after covering one of the most tortuous paths of reforms and varied civilizations. The cult is one of the most cosmopolitan and respected race, for its technical and commercial skills, besides a unique brotherhood relationship with all fellow religions.

Recently, there have been too liberal outbursts by us Hindus, about the history of Ramayana and Mahabharata, which are the core basis of our religion. Controversies have been created through media and certain social dignitaries on some key elements including the character of our Gods itself, which have put occult de- links in the basis of Hinduism itself.

For instance, it was mentioned recently in a news channel that Hanuman was married, where as we have always praised him for Brahmacharya assimilations. How come?

Second, the Rama Setu across Lanka has been out under a deep controversy by our Hindu brothers, for their mere political benefits.

Also, there were some impressions of Ramayana being tracked in the hills of Sri Lanka. Were these not known earlier, and preached even today as a pious teerth for us?

If you go to a temple, it is your social status that will assist you for a closer darshan of God.

Sita has been told of doing lose talks with Lord Laxman, before the formation of Laxman rekha incident.

Krishna in Mahabharata has always been criticized time and again for his stance against Duryodhan, during execution. This is besides the Veer Abhimanyu incident.

 And so on…..

God is pious (if you believe), and one cannot analogize Him with the social life of mankind. This makes us lose respect, and we start even comparing with him. As Hindus, we are an example, as I personally see other religions not even thinking of such indifference and atheism. Christianity has a varied ex-pression, where it has also lost ground in some places due to similar reasons. Probably, this has been a great reason for increasing Islamism, as they respect Allah as eternity, and the faith and instructions are clear from Quran…. so more people are accepting this religion as a sacred path and discipline.

At least, no other religion would leave people live who have been challenging the religion with the above type of overtures and creating controversies.. and that no one would dare to continue life on earth. Then what is the faith left if the teachings are made controversial?

PS: The picture above.. have you ever seen any other religion depicting their God like this/ isn't this mockery?

We need to revive our great religion, and re- look at it with respect and defend all such malaise from the offenders, which is getting lost in the ongoing hybridization and din. We will keep becoming thinner like this, and the day is not far when we will be repenting on our personal short- term goals that will kill Hinduism…
