Belief in creation and the creator

      All along this 4 decades of my life, many times, many people have questioned me; 
Do you believe in God ?

Me: I believe in creation and Creator force, yes, 
I believe in God
I had doubts like everyone else who is the real God or Gods or creator of the universe.

I did venture to study the scriptures of various religions, attended various spiritual and philosophy session whenever possible.

   I got an appropriate answer to my quest, after studying physics during pre-university / college education, plus the travel trip around Bharat / India in 2011 and 2012.

   I grew in a traditional Hindu family. we, in the family follow Lingayat religious teachings. Hence, I followed the tradition and worship, almighty God: Shiva, ( Shivashanker ).

     But, I questioned all around me for each and every steps of religious rituals and practices. These questions, irritated many people around me both in family and outside family.

   Are you atheist?

Me: No, absolutely not !

Almighty God and God's creation is real.

   Many times people thought, may be, he is influenced by other religions.

Me: Not true, yes, I did study many religious texts and ventured in philosophy and theology quest. In some occasion, seeing my interest to know more about other faiths, people of other religion thought, I was attracted to their beliefs.

No, That is illogical.

I am happy and well content being as a follower of this great religious belief , as vast as creation itself, in this belief there is enormous tolerance for self realization, non interference in your path of spiritual quest.
This faith, shelters people with all dimensions of spiritual quest, at the same time protects all followers. Even those, who disown this creation itself as Maya. It has room for all thoughts.

    It is like a great universal umbrella for all  eternal quest of self realization. 

   Society and people tends to accumulate power and perks in all feild of life, so this religion is also not an exception, there will be rules, breaking of rules, corruption etc .. as usual.

  Worship method: I prefer the simplest way of worship, the one in which you just pray as casually as like a little child calling its parents. 

      No need for rituals, unwanted show of power, wealth or knowledge of unknown language hymn etc ... just pray ..

      God, have already granted a lot to us all, we shall have the blessings , what is mine and ours.
