Q : What is the role of religion in day to day life?
Guruji : Religion is supposed to provide much-needed inner strength, hope, courage and an insight to the life hereafter. Also, religion is a binding force which cuts across geographicaland racial boundaries.
Usually religion is by birth and continues to influence till the end. Your name and all the ceremonies until your burial or cremation are determined by your religion. The communist effort of keeping religion away has not worked well either. Religion by itself is not bad - contrary to communist thinking. It is the fanaticism and extremism that religion has given birth to that is dangerous to human society. You cannot avoid religion, but in spirituality you rise above and become a good human being.
Om Namah Shivay
