Early Christians created a dogmatic religion to control people and gain power and riches. Christ was not a real person - it's a myth that was around for millennium before Christianity was created. That said - there is true power in the original Christos myth if you go to the origin and ignore the dogmatic, authoritarian manmade Christian religion. If you'd like more insight on this, let me know.

He said He came to give us an abundant life. And He stands at the center of man's history, unlike these obscure, self-proclaimed god-men of India.<br />I am an Indian by birth and I have seen Hindu thought and its effects, on culture and day-to-day life and choices, close-up. The Hindu way of life has left India worse for wear and it is clear for even a visitor to see.<br />So why not look further and with an open mind.

However, any rigid structure of any religion, or spiritual path, or ideology boxes us in and diminishes us, instead of doing the one thing it needs to do: Free us to truly transform."<br><br>Very well said!

One of my best friend took me to this place where i saw a Bald man in Saffron outfit and he was talking stuff about the Maharaj Ji. And i was not surprised coz all have a Maharaj Ji of their own. <br><br>He asked me, "what did u think about me when u first saw me?"<br>I replied; "what??? what makes u think i would think about you????"<br><br>He said, "Because u need something from my master!!!"<br>I replied, "Yes Brother. I do want it, but i know what i want, so i expect nothing more and obviously nothing less........."<br><br>He offered me gyan, and he asked me to practice sadhana.............i did it, but when i felt it was enough, I stopped...........thats how you should go close to something, when u feel u have had enough, u have to take a U turn and Go back............<br><br>God Bless...............Ramanathan V Shttp://thebigcancerian@blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
