Worshiping thousands of gods but lost common sense

 The major problem with the present Hindu mass is that their present language is different to what was preached and spoken in the past. There were large number of languages and dialectics, they changed with the time and now it is hard to understand those meanings without a great research in etymology. There is not a single real literature that stated the Hindu philosophy for present common mass.

There are actually thousands of translations of ancient literature of Hindu race and mostly these translations were made by religious people and not by philosophers. At present, the aim is to establish god by the ancient Hindu literature and not to advance reasonable society. These story tellers took the responsibility to spread the meaning of these translated literatures to common mass and came out with their own meanings.

They know in reality that if they talk about reasoning and logic and common sense as the part of Hindu philosophy, people will not accept them as wise. The base of religion is important to explore faith of people and to allow them to follow their words. On the name of religion everything cooked is accepted to serve to the mass. The identification of learned and reverend wise is long beard, long hairs and wearing saffron clothes. But fortunately, the Gita Press Gorakhpur remained active for long years in translating Hindu literature and philosophy and ethics in Hindi and in English for common mass to understand some meaning of ancient literature.

 Visit any city of India and one can found that people are worshiping dozens of gods at one time and when they came to know that their neighbor recently is worshiping another god and blessed by that god in his profession or in business, he will certainly add that god in his team of gods and start worshiping one more god. Religion is prevailing and flourishing in this land, no doubt limitless like Vedic age where dozens of gods were worshipped at a time but what are lacking in present situation are the values of life and society. 

People are more superstitious, more religious but with less moral and ethical towards society. “Aryans have superior belief of spirituality and the concept was positive as the perceived god in all, animate and inanimate. The consciousness is there in every animal and even in plants” states India through the Ages page 9. And undoubtedly, even peace seekers from different countries are rushing to this place.

Practicing religion means money and religion is one of the largest business sector in this country where directly and indirectly helping the economy by providing employment and business to thousands of people here. Directly the large temples are getting offering of millions of rupees which are tax free and indirectly thousands of people are involved in preparing accessories like caps, flags, idols, photo frames, threads, clothes, parsada (sweet) and many more products. One of the emerging fields in this sector is music and CDs. The Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisty of Ajmer fought his whole life against superstitions and worked for brotherhood and harmony in society is now shown doing miracles in CDs and in movies by helping a child who dropped from the lap of his mother and rolling down from the hill.
