RADHANATH SWAMI made me think what actually religion is !!! What is the meaning of religion? On referring to Oxford dictionary, i came to know that RELIGION means the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods, and one more meaning is “a particular system of faith and worship”. I did some further research of how many religions exist in today’s world. And when i found out the list, i was like stunned. There are more than 4000 religions. A reference to my search is as below:

Same one GOD and myriad paths to approach HIM. Why so? If we analyze, we understand that all the major faiths were raised at different time, place and circumstance and it was such that it was perfectly suited to that group. But everyone knows that TIME’S one important function is to eradicate by adulteration. Hence we find many religions having adaptations and so called rectifications in its tenets just to make things convenient for their pleasure. But that is not solving the conflicts. Everyone thinks that their faith is the best and others faith is not faith but some sort of sentimentalism.
Herein RADHANATH SWAMI explains what exactly is the cause of conflict between the so-called adherents of religion. Radhanath Swami explains how is it that all religions actually have one goal. The swami also explains why people cant see through this and still fight over their religion as best. Examples given by RADHANATH SWAMI in this video is superb and can make any sane being understand that the culprit is not actually religion but something else…Find out here and if the video enters your heart, let us change ourselves one by one so that no religion is tainted with the blood of its children. We have had enough of bloodshed in the name of religion. Let us stop it…We can, by changing our own selves.
