GOD, RELIGION AND POLITICS
Middle - Thriprayar Sri Ram temple, Kerala
Bottom - Ram Mandir, Bhubaneswar, Odisha
These three subjects have created lot of problems and taken countless number of lives across the world. While the prime subject God is something beyond human brain. Most of us fail to understand that truth. Some people have some scattered thoughts about God and such ones are creating confusion in simple human minds. Hinduism and Christianity say that God Himself have appeared first and from Him everything else came into being. The Big Bang theory of the modern science also suggests that a tiny particle came into being first and from that all space, time and matter came into being. Since all these three suggest same thing about the beginning it can be safely concluded that all those in the universe have come into existence from God. In other words all these are in the universe is God Himself. Whether it is sun, moon, earth, water, stone, tree, grass, fish, bird, animal or man; all are God. As such Ram, Krishna, Lakshmi, Budha, Allah, Mary or Christ are all different forms of God. There is nothing like true God or real God. All are God and God is One. And when all these put together there is one God.
When it comes to religion it is wholly man made. It can be attributed as a path towards one form of God. Each path has constructed by different humans according to their consideration or ambition about the destination. Each of these paths have ups and downs, steps and bridges and almost full of boundary walls.
Then comes politics that is forcefully tied up with God and religion of preferences. Politics, especially in India, is a free entry gate to secure power and wealth. The key factor in politics is election. Election is done by the citizens by casting their votes. Attracting the citizens towards each party is the prime game in election. Many methods are applied towards through many ingredients and medium . Of all these, found most effective recently is none but the God Himself. God is tied up with different means. God is used as an easy way to snatch power. By doing so politicians ignore the minority. The prime truth politicians fail to understand is that there is only One God and that God is for all.
