Now Ganeshji on a tree: Faith or Blind Faith

Home / Blogs Saturday, October 14, 2006 Now Ganeshji On A tree: Faith or Blind Faith? Recently there have been any instant to start the question of Faith and blind faith..People in India are very emotional and have deep rooted cultures and traditions.So whenever incident like God Drinking Milk,or Something like this come up, They Immediately react and start believing on that as Blessing of God.I have been watching debates on TV channels, and articles in magazine and news paper. Discussing this, they project Indian as backward thinking people, who are still far away from modern logical way of thinking, they try to project these kind of incident as a very old fashioned thinking and raise question on the way people react on the such incident. The so called Buddhijivi who try to be very modern and forward looking man don't really understand the Indian religion and culture.They don't understand Indian values and tradition.They are more like Western thinker impressed by scientific way of thinking which look at the matter logically,and test authenticity and validity of anything with reasoning.They dint understand the real meaning of Faith/Vishwas.. Let me ask them a question., Do they their believe are really based on reasoning and logic. do they follow the same path way they ask people to follow. don't they believe on God.. Don't they believe on Various religious rituals and social laws..Arent all that based on Faith or is that i should call Blind Faith.. Faith and blind Faith is synonymous with each other.Certain thing in the life don't justify logic.If it would have been so there would have been no religion, there would have not been worship god, their would have not been any Jesus.If all that is not Blind_faith then how come when a Hindu express there Faith and believe in God and alway es shows his devotion toward his god then why is their this criticism.This has become fashion among so called opinion makers and so called intellectual to term Ashtha of Hindu as ANDHVISHWAS(Blind faith)..They have their own complex that make them believe that so called Western thoughts are superior then us..This is the time foe all of us to understand Faith is based on blind belive..like we respect ours mother and father without any question..Like we believe there is God in everything that is on this nature.. And all this is not Faith this mis something that make this world saver place. This is what that make the diff between the animal and Human.. I will be writing more on it and invite your opinion in this matter 11:51:10 AM Posted By manoj singhania Comments (4) Society Comments sonia venugopal Saturday, October 14, 2006 6:49:48 PM I dont believe in these things though i am a haidu.

The Muslim would say, God is what the Quran says He is. But the Hindu goes beyond the scriptures. He seeks to experience God, not just stop at believing in Him. Which is why there are so many expressions of God in the Hindu culture whereas the Muslims’ expression begins and ends in parroting that there is only one God.
