A Marxist in the Temple

                                                             A Marxist in the Temple
Long time back when I was child, I read a book “why iam an atheist”. As we know the book was written by the the noted Freedom fighter and staunch Marxist, “Bhagath Singh”. From there onwards my Journey started to think about the Existence of God. From Child hood on wards I have a habit to search the answers for my Questions, So as my journey goes I got the answer for the question regarding the existence of God from the book “Ancient History of India” from Kosambi ,Translated in telugu by  Late Prof K.Bala Gopal.
Whether God Exists or not that is secondary, but before that we should know whether we are doing good work in the name of the god. Lot of things have Changed from the  Past , in the life style and the reforms in our culture just like abolishing of “SATI” and saveing innocent lifes of women. Like that why can’t we look at some of the other issues which still being practiced in present society? if we take the example still people discriminate other people who are from weaker sections. if we really worship or follow the steps of the God as said “Madhava sevye Manava Seva” Which says if you “serve people, it will treated as Service to God”.Yet many of so called literate people, will not agree for this and people of weaker sections still struggle.Yet we say we are children of god.how can this can be justified.there are some couple of things that come in my mind when we say we are the children of Vedas
1.We pray women goddess and we find women godess as most power  ful , yet we have lot of female foeticide.But we should remember it is not women who decides the birth of the child but we men hormones decides , if we not going to stop this the female ratio will be dropped drastically and yet we have to face the problem which indirectly effects the society just we have problem in Haryana , two men marrying one women , a simple understanding but we as a people cant digest the fact and system of analysis, yet  we see the more cases of female Foeticide.
2. All these years I come to know that Education means not only earning money our education should also help us to solve the problem of the people of masses, it may not be 100% but at least 1% from Each individual yet, we say the more you educate the more you earn but does it able to solve the problem I don’t think so.
Since I have kept the title of this page as Marxist in the temple, it is just because what ever happens in name of the god whether it is good or bad just have a analysis of things and decide whether it is good or bad because we can’t blindly follow the reforms on behalf of God.
The same was been said by the famous monk of India Vivekananda, “if you want to go to heaven play football rather than reading Bhagavath Gita “
Defnately a good Eye opener if we come to know the real meaning of the above quotation 
Similary, lot of Dogmas and reforms have to be changed through proper study.
Finally which leads to proper development and awareness among the people

  1. Hi There,

    Its very well said. The only thing that will save us from these dogmas is education and to educate the masses we will have to have a stronger economy.

    Hope our politicians realize this.
