When the purpose of religion fails.




From a scientific standpoint , there is no existence of God. But what does it make the religions to subsist for centuries?

Mind is always mysterious.Man worshipped everything that remained unknown to his knowledge, and scary. Right from natural / atmospheric entities. Until he started reasoning and questioning.

Religions evolved with a purpose of making life simple and easier for mankind. It teaches us simple thoughts on love and happiness. With my views on Hinduism , it is simply a fictional proposal to make people live a healthy life , both physical and mental. Hinduism is interlinked with ayurveda and yoga which can take care of your body.

 A mind which cannot be controlled can become the most lethal weapon. Powerful minds have made and marred civilizations. Religion aims to control your mind and regulate it for better purposes. Visiting old age temples can give the solace you need. It helps to relieve you from bad thoughts . Though religion can be illogical often ,the Hindu mythology is splendid. Some people say that there is science and reason behind many aspects in Hinduism , which can be interesting if unravelled.
What is the best way to impart good qualities, perfect ideals , cleanliness + hygiene , peaceful thoughts along with music and art to the lives of millions? Religion with the help of mythology. It depends whether you choose the way of knowledge or you choose the way of ignorance in following Hinduism.  Knowledge is trying to understand the reason behind every aspect while ignorance is paving way for inane practices .

A young lad of this gen can feel cool to call himself an atheist. Seriously ,one does not need religion , if he has learnt to appreciate fellow lives of others. But an egoistic mind with no self control and apathy will never be helpful to anyone.

Then why do we need religion? Why cannot we move on the path of science and out of this illusion? It may be easy when things go smooth life. But majority of mankind need some strength to rest on at some point of their lives. Some faith to cling on. With hope that this mysterious being will get rid of their tough times. Hope is a beautiful thing. Despair can end lives. While hanging on to the last piece of hope will definitely help.

This is the age of Science. Where we have chosen to understand how everything happens and not to remain nescient. Let us aim to prevent the mistakes our forefathers have committed , like fighting and killing each other due to religions.  When you look at these religions, they are simply collections of ideals and thoughts. Why should one fight with another over something, which was intended to make lives peaceful?
Let there be two religions in our life.
1.       A religion to regulate our minds . Many options available.
2.       A religion which actually aims to understand nature and life , makes us question everything and improve lives of mankind . Science.

If you still feel the religions to appear complicated? Then go with Buddhism for saving time which teaches you principles in the most simplest way
But remember- Ideals and principles  + amazing mythology + music + art + a little science gives you Hinduism .
To my contemporaries. Let us spend more time with science while giving importance to the principles our forefathers passed us. Religion aims only for unity , peace and to make our mind regulated so that we can spend time how to deal with science and other wonderful things in life. It is illogical to get our life and time totally meddled with religion alone. And totally pointless to fight and argue among religions . 

P.S: This is just me and my thoughts , I don't want a religious argument to pop out.
