There was never a change in time when we were never curious. We have always sought to know more, and ask more.

There was never a change in time when we were never curious. We have always sought to know more, and ask more.

The problem lies when the person answering the question does not have the answer, and enforces that we just need to be obedient and follow blind faith.

Worse is when people cover explanations that have good logical and scientific backing with superstitions and stories.

This, I am saying, because Shaivism is all about asking questions, being curious, and discovering the answers.

I do not believe in blind faith, I do not encourage blind faith, because it has hindered many people from discovering more.

I do not believe in superstitions, because people become dependent to them rather than going out there and understanding the situation for themselves.

We seek to marry what we have learned in scriptures to what we have learned in our experience. We will find that in their union we can better appreciate both realities.

This we share every day.

Om Namah Shiva
