The God Funda

Religions are harmless, to say the least.

But the ones who act as their Guardian Angels are not.

It is time to save the Religions from their Protagonists

who seek political mileage with a hidden agenda.

Save Religions from Protoganists...

In a country where we have to save Students from teachers,

the Patients from Doctors, Children from Parents

and Public from the Police, it is not surprising to see

that Religions need tobe saved from these Protagonists.

Our little or No knowledge of God helps them.

They leverage on our ignorance .

They declare a war pushing us to save our respective Gods.

And we get Paranoid perceiving our Gods tobe in danger! And rush to save.

Even if it means demolishing rivals' place of worship!

...demolish others' places of worship.

Rushing to save their Gods in danger!

Gods save us or we save our Gods?

Its true - All Gods are one. All names are His.

But it seems a long way to reach that.

Firstly we have to see the same Gods in same names.

Then we have to see same God in different names.

And then see all Gods and all names as only one.

Ha…Ha…Confused?
Then you are close to discovering the Confucius in you!!

First things first. Seeing Same God in Same names.

Lord Ganpathi round your street corner in a small temple

is not seen as the same Ganpathi- Siddhi Vinayak of Prabhadevi.

The neighbourhood Church is not the same as in Bandra.

and so on….

(The reason why we trek long distance to visit the other shrines

bypassing the local ones of the same deity ....)

Then only comes seeing Jesus and Ganpathi as same.

After that only comes seeing Jesus in all .

Ganpathi in everything around.

And all names as His etc.

For the fierce consumers that we are,

even same-generic-name Gods in different temples

are not the same, but different brands .

Even if the look and feel are nearly the same

each one has a different History and in different Geography.

Hence possess different Brand Equity.

Otherwise why Tirupathi and Vatican rake in so much moolah,

when there are so many Balaji Mandirs and Churches nearshore.

We are great brand loyalists.

Whether it is our Newspaper,tobacco or our Personal Gods in specific temples-

we don't change our brands that easily .Unless they fail us repeatedly.

Because-

We nurture God as our Product! Forgetting that we are His products!!

This is the same nation which discovered the great Truth -Advaita.(without duality)

Oh! How far we have moved away from that great Desi Wisdom..

Shortly you will see how some yankee scientists claim IPR on this (Advaita)registering over there..like our Basmathi rice, Margosa and Baitak before Ganpathi Bapa.(click on the video link below to see how our own :Baitak is claimed as their discovery and this version copied from our Ganesh Mandirs is copyrighted as Super brain yoga by the Americans)...
