WHAT IS Religion?

Note: All the views expressed here is solely of mine and I do not want to hurt anybody feelings and in no way intended to insult any other religion or any Saint.

WHAT IS Religion:
Before going to know about HINDU RELIGION we must know actually what is the meaning of religion. Religion is actually the rules decided by some of the influential people of the society to run the mankind. Now question arises why only man kind is adopting different rules and all other spices like animals, birds etc. though some of them also lives in a society do not follow different rules and seem to be following the same rules throughout the word to live their life. For example the Elephant wherever it may live but will remain Vegetarian and Cane Sugar is his favorite dish and so on. But mankind has different ways of life at different places and found to be following different religions. Actually the mankind was given the responsibility by Mother Nature to run the life at the mother earth. Man(when I say man it includes man, woman both) is provided with the brain to think and create new ideas to develop the life on earth and work for the betterment and create better condition of living for himself and other spices on the earth. Man was given with two hands to work hard and that is why we said that man is given birth in a KARMA YONI(where you can do Karm or can say Action Spice). The detail of the Karm will be discussed later but the question arises here that the animal who is moving and eating or hunting for its livelihood is also Karma. No this is a very limited action provision for them. They can take the things in the shape it is provided in the nature. They can not create anything new for example a cat can drink only milk as and where it can get. She can not fetch milk from a cow. She can not cook Kheer out of it, She can not boil it for getting cream or butter. Like wise the lion can hunt for his livlihood but cannot cook the animals and has to take it in its raw condition. So that is why they are said to be in a Bhog Yoni. While the man can think, can work to fulfill his dreams and thoughts. Now from here is the biggning of religion. Using his power the man starts thinking. Now both positive and negative thinking people were present in the man kind. Again this situation is not applicable in Bhog Yoni(other spices as Lion cannot be vegetarian). Now the positive thinking people were working hard for the betterment of the mankind and others(spices). On the other side some negative thinking people were trying to harm the mankind and others for their own benefits. Here the right thinking people who were having influence in their groups did frame some rules to run the life in their groups. As at that time all the people in the group were not psychologically able to understand those rules so those influential people teach them that ALL MIGHTY GOD has given them message to run the society like this only. Here I may say that no doubt those influential people have got this power to think and lead only with the grace of the all mighty God. It was just like a Constitution to run the society and as at that time the provision of ink and printing was not available and no police force was available at that time to implement those rules so the fear of God was told to them. The society was told that if they violate the rules of the God then they will get punishment by the God and this fear was used to run the society according to those rules and organize the man kind. Now the question arises why then different religions. The answer to this question is that the earth was not so small at that time and the people were living in very small groups at very far off places. The means of communication was nil. No one did know about the people living in the other corner of the earth. As a result the people in various part of the earth frame different rules to run the society in the name of GOD. For example people living in the Cold areas of Europe did not imagine of cremating there near and dears by burning them as they were not having plenty of woods and moreover the wood were very precious for them to run their normal life. Similarly the people living in the Desert did not have plenty of wood to burn the residuals of their near and dears so they also could not think of this. As they could not tolerate that the animals or wild birds may eat the residuals of their near and dears so they decided to criminate them by Burying them. While in the Asian countries the plenty of wood was available so they adopted the way of burning the residuals. Later on with the growth of mankind the various new thoughts started originating which the new generations feels that will be helpful for the growth of their society and some daring people work for the reforms in those rules though most of them faced stiff resistance in floating those ideas but get support from a few like minded people and give rise to some more religions or Panth. What is the difference between a Panth and a religion we will discuss later. Also with the growth of mankind the man started making efforts to find out the God. He imagine various Shape, faces and some feels it is without any shape and is Nirakar, some finds God in the fire or light etc. Like this those philosophers tried and are trying to get peace says that God is like that. Like that the various religions started. Now comes the Hindu Religion.
