Religion Vs Rationality

Hello Friends ,

 How are you? 

            Here I want to share my points about the Rationality Vs religion which I found in the most famous temple of Gujarat – “ Akshardham Gandhinagar.”

              I don’t want to criticise any religion or religious matter in which India is stand & how we all are governed and controlled by the name of religious. But I want to throw some lights on my thoughts which I thought during my picnic.So please friends, if you have any counter points, adding points or any comments then you all free to give.

                        When I entered into the gate of the temple Akshardham ,I found the huge building of it. No doubt it is very wonderful place but for me it is not temple because I believe when we enter into any temple , you have to feel the peace of your heart. For some while or some moment you have the positive vibrations and that things I missed there. We will see the fountain in the path of temple , if you notice. I observed that in fountain had full of coins & I thought there was myth behind it. It was that if you want to fulfill your wishes , you will take your coin remember your wish & throw it into fountain ?  how is it possible? How can we believe in such silly things so easily?  Does the coin  symbol of desire ?if ii is possible for everyone , no one poor  and no one have  social conflicts also.


            Don’t you think it is started by their own people to get more  money?& it becomes the part of culture and do all things which is happening for last so many years.No doubt people do it willingly.They don’t force them but first they create the fear in mind of people and then all things are going on. Though we live in 21st  century , I think we all are governed by religious & superstition.The  same thing was happening besides the fountain there was the 'Charan Paduka' of God. Religious become the business .


                                                “ What is the purpose of golden statue of God ?”


Only because of the golden statue , there is the need of tight security .  Religious matter connect with our emotions or feelings of heart not such material things.From where we saw God , it just looked like royal place. i personally believe that no one did worship of God from that that temple because each and every one only saw the golden statue of God and its glittering & hugeness of it. I think all saints are played with people’ Astha , Shadhdhra ,etc…..


                        There was the museum , in which they collected all that things which was used by that Saint. There was the description of way of living life by that Saint. So many small things were there still now ?like…. Teeth , hair ,Asthi ,etc…



I and Priti saw one clothes. it might be just like “ Zabhbha”- its shinning and pattern appealed us that it was not so much old or it was not used by Saint also. So, then how and why we all are convinced very easily for any religious matter? And surprising thing that many people bow down or worshiped those all things than statue of God. So, we can say that in India everywhere we find religious culture no one have questions about either they are educated or uneducated.



One more thing that , there I found only elite people and middle class people.


“Have you ever seen the poor people in whole temple while are you visited?”


Just see the plan of temple .if you want to go only for seeing God and wants to come back within 5 minutes , it is impossible . because you have to follow the path which is planed by them and it is profitable for them and business also. You have to go mall and then canteen and then you can take exist . on the other side there was also the enjoyments and lots of things which I liked but….



            If we remove only the portion of temple and the name of temple , I have no objection of anything because this type of religious describe the partiality - & poor people can’t even afford the religion ?


        So, I think that this kind of places are only for making money . They invested cores & cores rupees and then it will  convert into Abaj and more than it. Please friends, must start thinking rationally .help those who really needed and can’t get food once in a day or more than days  rather than the putting temple or such other places.

Thank you….

અખેપાતર

અનુભવોનું અકળ પાત્ર - અખેપાતર Bindu Bhatt is well known Gujarati writer. 'Akhepatar' (1999) have awarded the 'Sahitya Akademi Award' for the 2003. Novel has the  female  protagonist Kanchanba.  આમ તો આખીયે વાત કાંચનબા ના જીવન ની જ છે ને તેમ છતાંય એમાં ઘણું છે જે એક સ્ત્રી ને જ નહીં આખાય માનવજગત ને લાગું પડે છે.  Chandrakant Topiwala said that...... "સામાજીક ચેતનાની આધારભુત ભારત ના ભગલાંના વિષયની છે ને તેમછતા ભારતના વિભાજન કરતા એ વિભાજન ને કારણે પાત્રોની બદલાતી આવતી નિયતિ નિરૂપનનો વિષય છે."  કંચનબા ની પીડા,દુઃખો ને વેદના ને   ભુતકાળ માંથી એ વર્તમાન ને  નવો અર્થ આપે છે. This is story of journey not only from Outside but the most necessary from the 'inside' also. નવલકથા માં કંચન થી લઇને કાંચનબા સુધી ની સફર છે.

મરણટીપ

                                              મરણટીપ                                                           - માય ડીયર જયુ            My Dear Jayu is well known writer of Gujarati literature. One has to read his works to understand the meaning of pain and suffering.  "Marantip" is small  Navlika. While reading and  after  reading, one can't get much pleasure or aesthetic delight but some how it reflects the reality of life and human beings. One must be thought about it after reading.                 It starts with smoothly conversation  between husband and wife. then it moves with flashback technique. What is the meaning of life ? we have to find out. but Luckily  people have their own and different answers. Life is meant to be journey only. I found the anxiety  of Existentialism in story.  Sometimes, Characters are not able to understand their own voices which come from within as sometimes we also fail to understand. મરણટીપમાં .........
