Recently there has been a controversy regarding the movie Pk.Many got offended by that movie ,especially Hindus.I am a Hindu and I personally felt that it's an awakening call for all Hindus.All the scenes that were shown in the movie regarding the exploitation of religion in the name of God were true.A simple question regarding the size of idols that Amir Khan asks,made me to think.Its actually happening.Simple example is during Ganesh chaturthi people compete to put big idols. It should be bigger than the idol in the next colony.Does having a bigger idol makes god happier?I wonder if people really has bhakthi. Its Ganesh chaturthi and people put movie songs in loud speakers and dance in the name of God.They do collect funds(ganesh chanda) to do all that.It has become a dadagiri. People actually force you to give funds in some cities. Are they really devotees?No.They are rowdies trying to steal your money in the name of God.
What is a religion? It's a system created by man for a better way of life. The base for this religion is our creator.. The God, call him what ever you want. One thing you need to remember is,god might have created us but religion is created by man.Every rule is created by man.He is the one who suppressed women in the name of religion, he is the one who is doing terrorism in the name of God.
No system is perfect.Things should get updated with time.Today something you might feel correct might be a mistake tomorrow and vice versa.
I work in a maritime industry. They Design things and enforce regulations regarding safety.Still accidents happen. They do research on those accidents and make new changes accordingly. Such should be a religion because it's a system and should get updated and shouldn't get blinded in the name of God.According to Nava Graham stotra..the sun and moon are considered as planets. It has been proved scientifically false. Its not a mistake if we change the stotra and include any new planets. We should not forget that all the Vedas of holy scriptures were written by humans and no one is perfect.We should not forget that this perfect religion you think had a lot of evils that were created by man.A women dying after her husband dies "sati sahagamanam",a young girl getting married to very old guy, dowry,untouchability were considered today a Sin.Why because you considered those evils were faults of society.Actually if you realise those evils were faults in a religion.. again created by man. The same way if you realise an exploitation of human fear by another man in the name of God as a fault in society rather than considering it as fault in religion.Then it will be easy for us to update our religion.
Coming to the movie Pk there are a lot of incidents covered how people are making money taking advantage of human fears in the name of God.A few more were covered in the movie "oh my god".But there are many.We have seen many fake Babas stealing money.If he is accepting or expecting some money please don't go to him.A real baba gives everything.He doesn't need anything from you. Instead there are still people who support fake babas like nityananda. You can understand from this how foolish people are when it comes to religion. Its time to wake up. Think understand and take your decision. No religion is perfect.Accept what ever you feel good from all religions and omit what ever you feel might be bad.
Strive for a better society.
