I am not a religious or a spiritual person in the strict sense of the term. I never had the habit of going to temple on my own. I have had more quarrels with God for all the atrocities unleashed on the weak and the deprived. Despite my school friends’ attempt to goad me towards God worship ping it was only short lived.Nevertheless, over the years, there has been a feeling of faith enveloping me that there is some super power and that all the events have been programmed and that it is all destiny written already and nothing can be done about it. Buddha and Osho  are appealing to me now. My current state is that my anguished anger against the creator continues. It is a kind of love –hate relationship.

I was never an atheist.But I am against  the instutionalis ation  and commercialization of  religion .I hate  all kinds of fundamentalists who interfere into the personal freedom  of worship.worship. Exploiting religion for political agenda is the most cruelest and crudest crime as the corrupt politician is a terror to society cutting into the vitals of the system. Instead of celebrating the diversity and oneness of God, there is more violence and vandalism in the name of religion, caste and creed.

 I am A Hindu by birth.It was just an accident. This does not imply that  I should undermine other  faith.It is only those who are ignorant of The supreme and also  intoxicated with outmoded custom and aggrandizement of power are tending towards religious warfare as if there is no real work to do.


A truly religious person or a Marxist is a humanist –a compassionate one, and he or she will work for the welfare of the poor and the weak. Stumbling upon such a true communist or a spiritualist is a rare phenomenon as the atomic particles of the human society have been hijacked by money making madness.V R Krishna Iyer or Ramana or vallalar or swamy vivekanda to name a few are only illustrative examples an the number is diminishing How the Govt could allow the political p-arties and religious intuitions  roll in billions of dollars escaping from both accountability and taxes.
