21st Century Religion - Page 12

Religions basically are great and inspirational, but when in this 21st Century, the Age of Technology, we are still plagued by religious beliefs that may be a contributing cause of terrorism, killings and wars between nations, then intellectuals should attempt to find solutions for these problems; hence I submit Transcendology.

people use religion as an excuse when they wanna go violent. I believe no religion ever encourages violence.It's happening since ages.Age of technology cannot change how evil works.

It is easier to conceptualise in a human form. Those that do not restrict it to a human form still take refuge in attributing human qualities to God.

What about atheists? can they ever attain spiritual enlightenment?

BTW Hinduism accepts people who don't believe in god,so atheists born into Hinduism are...still hindus.

hmm that's weird😔
didn't believe you at first so checked it for myself and you're right.
That was a surprise to me since I amnt familiar with the Quran.I agree with your point about Transcendology.Hinduism does deal with it and hence it accepts atheism.

Indeed,Transcendentalism is just an English name given to one of the Geeta's philosophies so that the Westerners understand it.Hinduism is the oldest and hence the most evolved religion IMO.

I did see god in human form once when I was 6 years old and suffering from pneumonia. In front of my bed there was a poster of Lord Krishna with slokas written on it.I used to see my mother weep seeing my consistent ill health.
At night I heard a song,found Lord Krishna singing and sort of dancing, blowing balloons pink in color made of threads.I was amazed.Something disturbed my mom in her sleep,I assumed it's the song.
.

Years later am still amazed.I was curious and researched.Turned out that a lot of patients with pneumonia hallucinate due to lack of oxygen. :(

All this discussion about god made me want to share the experience.

Hindus believe in one Supreme Being. The most prevalent expression of worship for the Hindu comes as devotion to God and the Gods. The plurality of Gods are perceived as divine creations of that one Being. So, Hinduism has one supreme God, but it has an extensive hierarchy of Gods. Devotion to God and the Gods of Hinduism is known as Bhakti. It is an entire realm of knowledge and practice unto itself, ranging from the childlike wonder of the unknown and the mysterious to the deep reverence which comes with understanding of esoteric interworkings of the three worlds. Hinduism views existence as composed of three worlds. The First World is the physical universe; the Second World is the subtle astral or mental plane of existence in which the devas, angels and spirits live; and the Third World is the spiritual universe of the Mahadevas, "great shining beings," our Hindu Gods. Hinduism is the harmonious working together of these three worlds.

worshipping means praying to god.How can it have any other form?
