- Religion can curtail bad elements in society and provide a set of beliefs, but no religion represents absolute truth. - Spirituality is an alternative that involves worshipping the supreme creator without proclaiming one's own beliefs as the only truth. - One can be both scientific and spiritual by believing science and spirituality are compatible, not opposing views as perceived in the West. - It is important to spend equal time solving world problems as you do on religious prayers and rituals in order to progress rather than regress society.

2. WHY ONE SHOULD FOLLOW A RELIGION?
• There is definitely a force which is supernatural that controls all things
happening in this World.
• Religion curtails activities of bad elements in the society. (Contrary to the
belief in some religions, that all outside their religion are sinners and not
worth living in this beautiful world. It is only they who have the right to live.)
• Every religion has a Doctrine, a Holy Book or a set of religious beliefs.
Sometimes, these set of beliefs become a matter of pride, influenced by
politics and rulers.
• As long as all citizens are protected and giving them the freedom of living and
other fundamental rights, there is no harm in following any particular
religion.
• But it is to be borne in mind that no religion preaches absolute truth.

3. WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE ?
Spirituality
• Worship the Supreme, The Almighty Creator. Name him/her/it
whatever you want. But don’t brainwash the masses what you
believe in. Do not proclaim that the God you believe is the only
supreme entity.
• Understand that there is a definite difference between being
Spiritual and displaying that you are religious.
• Remember, deep thinking is conversation with God.
• Think deeply, think scientifically, think about following THE
TRUTH

4. BE SCIENTIFIC IN THINKING
Can one be scientific as well as
spiritual?
“YES”
-Unlike the western perception that being scientific is not
being religious, let us inculcate the belief that,
“We can be scientific, as well as spiritual.”

5. BE PROGRESSIVE AND NOT REGRESSIVE
BE A PROBLEM SOLVER AND
NOT A PROBLEM CREATOR FOR
THE WORLD

6. SPEND TIME TO SOLVE WORLD PROBLEMS
There are a hundreds of unsolved problems
to be solved for the society.
If you can spend one hour in religious
prayers,
Spend equal time in problem solving.

7. DON’T LET YOUR RELIGION CREATE MORE PROBLEMS FOR
THE WORLD
REMEMBER: YOU ARE NOT THE CREATOR,
THEREFORE, LET ALL OTHER CREATIONS
LIVE IN HARMONY WITH YOU.
Other than for the purpose of just enough
food (non-vegetarian people), do not kill
animals. Unless they attack you and pose a
life threat to you.

8. REVERSE INDUSTRIALIZATON
In the recent past, about 200 years, man
has exploited the minerals and natural
resources lying in the womb of mother
Earth for millions of years.
EVERYTHING NEED NOT BE MASS
PRODUCED IN INDUSTRIES.
PRESERVE SOMETHING FOR THE
FUTURE.

9. THANK
YOU
