Opiate of The Masses

While watching the religious and political drama after I became an adult I wanted to really end the discussion about faith and religion once and for all for myself. I think faith is a personal thing, and people should keep it personal and that's why I keep my faith personal. My political stand is that of an atheist though I have my personal belief system as far as faith goes. I believe in a supreme soul which you can call as Paramatma and Mother Goddesses and I derive my strength from Goddesses Chamunda and Saraswati. If you are a Hindu you have to realise that Hinduism is a syncretic belief system and anyone trying to convert it or pass it on as a monolith is mistaken. What is monolith in Hinduism is actually Brahminism and that's where all the dogma arises from. Being in the world for quite a while and a bit as an adult has made me realise that when people consolidate power the first they ensure is security of money and resources and sex. Since the control we are living in is at the neurological level and there is no way for common people to retaliate against it, especially when the manipulation is passed on as fate or religious or karmic consequences, the control has converted into exploitation and rape. You have to realise the ultimate truth is power dynamic and domination and that has been historically achieved by sheer and blunt force and deception. That's how Islam propagated in Indian subcontinent and even countries like Persia. Islam might have been a good belief system for uniting the Arabian peninsula but anywhere it went after that it just destroyed the indigenous culture, and like Brahminism it is a political philosophy and when it cannot use sheer force it employs adaptation and waiting to increase in numbers and then asserting its strength, and this modus operandi is well documented, it obliterates the remnants and evidences of existence of the culture being invaded and tries to homogenise the culture and from the perspective of those being invaded, not in a good way. After becoming an adult I realised that the India I grew up believing in only exists on books and paper, and since I belong to Purvanchal I realise that it's basically slavery, albeit at a neurological level that is being practiced in Purvanchal and I don't know about other regions, in Purvanchal and by association in Bihar too it's about retaining the right to freely exploit and rape people by those who hold power in these regions. If you are a Hindu I would suggest you choose a deity that agrees with you or let Him or Her choose you and derive strength from Him or Her. Try to preserve the rituals and traditions that agree with you. I spent my childhood in a Muslim majority area so I know that it's not about people, because majority of my childhood friends were Muslims and they were just like you and me good people trying to live their lives, it's about when a philosophy and ideology overcomes the mind of a person. Syncretic Hinduism is almost extinct by now, replaced by dogmatic Brahminism, the same kind in which you have to donate a golden cat to a Brahmin if you kill a cat by mistake. Always remember the basics, it's power, resources, money and sex and people who see these things as the basics exploit and rape people who see peace and happiness as the basics. I am a firm believer that lower castes should change their religion to some indic religion, like Buddhism. As far as Christianity goes, Christians in India support Muslims thinking that they are minority and it's mostly a survival tactic of supporting other minority community and getting support from them to avoid getting exploited and persecuted by the majority. Though truth is complex than that. The real greater establishment of this country, as far as I realise, is under control of whites, Muslims and iPhone communists and Brahmins work on their behalf to control the lower stratas according to Manusmriti, though it's basically Manusmriti only for good people and that means exploit anyone who can be exploited which basically means exploitation of good people. Hinduism, the real beautiful syncretic Hinduism that our ancient designers designed is dead, what remains is political Brahminism. You have to realise that all other religions except indic religions have their actual bases outside the country and they are well protected, except Parsis of course whose homeland as well as original religious places got consumed by Islam. The ones who got power from the British, if they got power at all, sold this country as well as Hinduism. There is not much that can be done, but the least you could do is find God within you according to the knowledge left by ancient masters of this land and try to preserve your culture and traditions in whatever little way you can.
