***** Happy Deepavali to All !!! ****.
On this happy day, thought of writing about Hinduism. It is one of the very few religions where prayers are offered to god directly.
Religion and Spirituality can be interesting and would provide solace to many points of time, if one start understanding it better and believe the same.
At times, questions are raised about trueness of a religion. Every happening in life may not have answer and but religion can provide support to overcome difficulty and challenges.
Hinduism is often called the "one of the oldest living religion'. No one knows, when, how it was started. The starting place was Asian subcontinent and more particularly India
According to Hindu Philosophy, there are four ages. These are Satya Yuga, Thretha Yuga, Dvapara Yuga and Kali Yuga.
Each of the yuga is said to close to million years.
Satya Yuga : Virtue was supreme, human life span 10s of 1000 years. Truth, Dharma and spirituality of human being close to 70% (near to saint).
Thretha Yuga: Reduced virtue. Truth, Dharma and spirituality of human being close to 50 to 60%. Human being size for much bigger than current size of Human being, at least by 3 or 4 times.
Dwapara Yuga: Truth, Dharma and spirituality of human being closed to 30 to 50 %. Life span was 1000 years.
Kali Yuga: Truth, Dharma and spirituality in range of 10 to 30%. Life span max of 100 years.
The ten famous incarnation of Vishnu is said to happen over all four yugas.
Lord Rama said to belong to Threta Yuga and Krishna is said to be in Dwapara yuga. Once Krishna Era was over Kali Yuga is said to be born. With Kali yuga the distance between human being and god said have increased.
Some times there are questions are raised. In the last few years, some of the finding proves the above to be true.
There are evidence of about Ramar Bridge (which belonged to Thretha Yuga).
There are evidence about, humongous sized Human being of previous Yuga.
Also, there is evidence about Dwaraka city ruins where Krishna ruled (which belonged to Dwapara Yuga).
Human being life is so very short. Every religion preaches peace for self and towards others. It is said currently, we are living in "Kaliyuga" (reduced dharma and spirituality) , where prominence is given to self and selfish motive. However, one needs to keep in mind "What we sow in mind is what we get".
