RELIGION Vs SPIRITUALITY - View Point

Image
Religion Vs Spirituality -  Point of view... The terms   religion   and   spirituality   are often confusing; disputed but still cannot be differentiated. Both go together; complement each other; cannot be separated. Historically, the words   religious   and   spiritual   have been synonymously used to describe the various aspects of the concept of religion. Both religion and spirituality can involve belief in a deity, spiritual or mystical experiences, rituals, as well as value systems and beliefs, about morality and ethics and an understanding of how the world works.

Holi festival is also associated with the story of Holika (the demoness sister...

There are several historical and pouranic references to the worship of Lord Shiva and we find several divine personalities having worshiped Lord Shiva on different occasions for various reasons. Lord Vishnu in his incarnations (human form) also worshiped Lord Shiva for Loka Kalyana; welfare of the mankind and to maintain the loka-reeti (local conventions). Without delving into scriptural intricacies let us try to understand Lord Shiva the modest God in modest form.     Who is Lord Shiva? Shiva is son of Lord Brahma ( Virinchi ), instantly emerged out ( Sadhyojatha ) from centre of his eye brows at the time of creation. Soon after His birth Shiva started crying/roaring fiercely ( Roudra ) hence called Rudra ( Rodanaat-Rudra ).  One of the Trinity Lords (Brahma-Vishnu-Maheshwara) ruling Thamasa guna (Ahankaara Tattva); Shiva is entru...
