Today I went out for lunch with my colleagues, as usual topics started from c++ and went to politics . After that, the discussion started regarding Politicizing religion by our great politicians. My colleague gave an example bababuddan festival in Karnataka which is celebrated by both Hindus and Muslims, because of dirty politics now this festival lost the charming of Religious Harmony. He also mentioned that this festival celebrations shown in international
Channels like BBC for representing religious integrity.
Yesterday night I watched a preaching of Swami Sukhabhodananda in one of TV Channels. His preaches are quite interesting. In yesterday’s preach he gave one beautiful example.
As we know that Buddha got enlightened under “Bodhi Vruksha” at the instance when a leaf was falling. In the similar way one person got enlightened in an incident when he was bringing water in a mud pot and it fell down. In this instance he got enlightened. He was doing lots of good things and good practices before enlightenment.
But the people observed only the broken pot and enlightenment, so the whole village started breaking the pots and started feeling they also enlightened. This is the Fun J which is happening now.
Many of us will be doing things in the similar way but not understanding the hidden facts.
As, many great people like Vivekananda told Hinduism is not a religion , it is way of life.
During my bachelor degree days I used to think about the things in Hinduism. Like Why we tell the population of Swargam is 3 Crores.
Why Shakthi Matha is the first life on earth.
Why Shiva’s wife is Parvathi Devi, Vishnu’s wife is Laxmi devi and Brahma’s wife is Saraswathi devi?
What made to do this..
What is the internal meaning!!!
I have shared with my friends, colleagues during the discussions that I had from Bachelors degree and few are convinced. I also gave a presentation regarding this during my Post Graduation days and people were interested.
Now I thought of sharing the thought processes that I can explain only from my perspective. I will share by next post.
At last you may be wondering..that.. World is taking about Buffalo and Bangalore , Obama and anti-outsourcing...But I am after something else topic
For the above things so many articles are there to cover..but for my topic you find very few which explains :)
