    Why are men denied sexual pleasures by religions?

    Why religions proscribe sexual pleasures? Is it not one of the reasons why there are rapists all over the world? Are there rapists in the animal kingdom? People rape to satiate their suppressed urges and rapists are not always accountable for their acts and the society he belongs to must...

    Self effacement

    Some religious gurus stresses the significance of self effacement. They say one should have complete surrender to God. I am unsure they are right or wrong. All we do is for achievement whether it is spiritual or material or if one totally effaces oneself what is the use of getting spiritual...

Life is somewhat mysterious and despite we have so many biological or anatomical unfoldings on some of the...

    Do you believe in personal God?

    I believe in God or in consciousness. Or to put it a little differently I believe that there is something universality about all of us. We all are directly related to each other and there is something that ties up us,k that invisible thread. Enlightenment or Nirvana is something the realization...

    Can we invent a new religion?

    That we need a religion and it in fact keeps us in harmony is an unspoken truth. People become charitable when they are under the sway of religious sentiments. These are really good signals. Despite some dastardly incidents overall religion has integrated people. Personally I do not follow a...
