Does God Really Exist?

Hello all.
I am just going to share my own views about God and Religion.I do not have motive to hurt anyone's feelings ,beliefs.So be calm and relax when you are reading this article.
God is a idea of psychologically sick people and religion is a crutch for the psychologically crippled people.The very questions that comes to my mind when i think about God and religion are:
Who is God? Who Created him? Did anyone ever see him,ever meet him,ever communicated with him?The answer would be No.Actually all the religions of the world are against the integrated men because integrated men does not need God,does not need priest,does not need church.

Who created God?
God is a theological hypothesis.They needed the God to create the world-without even bothering about who created God.Their fundamental idea is that without somebody creating ,nothing can be created that's why they have accepted God as the creator of the world.But why stop with God?
The thesis was that nothing can be created without a creator.Then the question arises who created God?According to all religions question has remained unanswered.They know if they say God A was created by God B they will get into more trouble-then God C and God D,and the whole alphabet,still,when reach X,Y,Z,nothing will be solved,who created God Z?

Devil and God are a married couple.
if God can be dropped ,there is no need for the devil.They are like a married couple because nobody has seen either of them.It is very difficult to say who is man and who is woman.But devil seems to a male because he has working all along and God must be a housewife-that's why you don't see her any more at market place.But devil you will find everywhere.You don't have to look for him,his is looking of you!
The sinners are the servants of Devil and saints are servants of God.

Religious people are not even ready to listen your argument.
It may seems funny but its a fact.I tell you a real story about it.When Galileo wrote that the Sun does not go around the earth but earth goes around the sun.He was called by the Pope to his court and asked "you have to change your book because it goes against the Bible.In Bible the statement is that the sun goes around the earth and we are not ready to listen to any argument.You simply change it otherwise ,death will be your punishment.
Similarly when Copernicus found that the earth is not flat as it is said in the Bible ,but round ,he was immediately in trouble.He said to Pope,"its my lifelong work and i have proof for it and moreover it does not effect your religion."The Pope said "you do not understand,the question is not whether it affect our religiousness or not,the question is that Bible is God's book,the holy book,God cannot be wrong,we cannot accept it."Secondly if one statement is proved wrong then what is the Grantee about other statements?it create the suspicion.It destroys the very foundation of belief and faith."So we cannot accept anything in the Bible as Wrong."
They just blindly believe in the holy books .Everything written over there is true for them and they are even not ready to listen anything against it even it is right,proved.It seems funny and Non-sense to Me!!

Who keeps the God alive?
Now if God really does not exist ,still why people believe in him?Who keeps this hypothesis alive?Our priest,holy men are major culprits ,they keeps God alive.God is a hypothesis,but still it helps the people to get rid of their guilt.The priest is the beneficiary.He keeps the hypothesis alive,he fights for it.Because all that comes to God as offerings to erase the guilt of people reaches the priests.So the priest's whole work is to make more and more people guilty.This is a business,make people guilty about everything.And guilt is the whole foundation of your religion.The priest needs you to be guilty,because of guilt you need God-who is going to forgive you.
Here i tell you a another story about this fact.In India,Krishna had Sixteen thousand wives.Now what about 15999 men who lost their wives?Those wives were Stolen,forcibly taken away.They were mother ,they are wives,sisters.Now how to prevent those 15999 men?if they all joined they could kill Krishna ,they could easily get back their wives.So they had to be prevented and priests had to invent the ways to prevent them.Here the priests played their role.
Priest said "Krishna is no ordinary man.He is God's creation."You should be happy that he has chosen your wife ,not anybody else's.You are fortunate and blessed.you will get the great joys in Paradise.So do not be angry,rather take it easily and happily.
So our priest and holy men are major culprits for a organized crime called religion.

Greatest harm of the religion to humanity.
The greatest harm of the religion to humanity is to prevent the humanity from finding a true religion.All the religions of the world have conditioned the human mind from the very childhood to believe that religion in which you are born is the true religion.A Hindu believes his religion is the only true religion in the world,all other religions are false.They all are in agreement at one point that is there is no need to find a true religion.It is already available to you-you are born in it.
Be honest and tell ,do not you think the same?

Who goes to Churches,temples and other holy places?
The most crowd in the temples,churches and Guradwaras is of old people,who are close to their death.Younger will be least there. When people come close to their graves ,when they feel that their one foot is in grave ,they put their other foot in the church! Who knows ,may be all the stories that have been told in the church are true,and any why their is no harm-why take a chance? It seems funny!
Moreover all the religions of world are death oriented.They are more interested in the stuff after death(Hell and Heaven).

What is religion and who is God?
The art of Consciousness is a true religion.There is no Hindu religion,no Christian,no Mohammedan,there is only one religion ,that is religion of consciousness.You must be so aware ,so enlightened and awakened that you can see clearly and can respond according to the reality.
This nature is your God,this Universe is your God,your conscious mind is your God.

What is religiousness?
I do not call a man irreligious who does not believe in God.I do not call a man irreligious who does not go to temple or churches.I do not call a man irreligious if he denies heaven and hell and all the non sense.But i call a man irreligious if he does not fell unworthy of all that he has received and is receiving every moment,with every breath,with every heartbeat.Life is continuously giving to you.
The things that are called prayers are just false.Millions of temples and churches and million of people continuously praying but their prayers are false because they are always asking for something.They are never thanking for what they have already received.In their prayers if you look you will find the beggar,ungrateful beggar.And you will find in all the prayers of all the religions ,there is a certain complaint that things are not as they should be ,that other are getting more ,i am not getting that much.

What is aim of Life?

Life has no aim other than itself.God is name given to life by theologians,Priests,Pops and it has danger in it because it can be argued against.Almost half of the earth does not believe in the God.Not only communists but the Buddhists,Jains and there are million of free thinkers who are atheists. The name "God" is not much defensible because it is given by man and there is no evidence,no proof ,no argument for it.
Millions have denied God,but how can you deny life? It is beating in your heart.It is in your breathing,its is showing in your eyes.It is expressing in your love.
All your religions are worshippers of death.They worship only the dead saints.When they are alive,you crucify them,when they are alive you condemn them,when they are alive you stone them to death.But when they are dead ,you worship them.A sudden change occurs.Why?
I want to know, Why are the dead saints worshipped and living are condemned?Because dead saints full-fill all the conditions of being religious-they do not laugh,they do not enjoy,they do not love,they do not dance and moreover they do not have any kind of relationship with existence.Do not you see the stupidity of all this,that the living are worshipping the dead,the present is worshipping the past.Life is being forced to worship death.What is all this Non-Sense!!
Look around,animals do not have any religion except life.Trees do not have any religion except life and similarly stars do not have any religion except life.Except man,the whole existence trusts in life,there is no other god and there is no other temple.
Every religion uses the argument that it is very old,very ancient.For example Hinduism.Religions which are not very old naturally they have to try the opposite argument.For example,Sikhism ,which is only 500 years old,their argument is that older religions are older versions of God's messages to man,we are bringing the latest message of God to man.

Drop the Chains.
We are born free but we are living in chains.Those chains which we accepted and we have accepted them more willingly because those chains are made of Gold.Those chains are made of prestige ,power and moreover they are cover with the beautiful flowers.So not only we accepted them but we go on desiring more and more because we think they are made of ornaments.Freedom is not a problem that how to achieve it,the problem is how to get rid of those chains.So first thing is to recognize those chains as chains not as ornaments,a prison as prison not as a home,a marriage as a bondage not as a love.Only then you can get freedom.
Freedom is not a problem so do not ask how to get it.Think about,you are born free then how did you become a slave?You are born just human being then how did you become a Mohammedan or a Hindu or a Christian? As long as there is God,man cannot be at peace because it is a God who is dividing a man,otherwise what is the difference between a Hindu and a Mohammedan and a Christian and a Jew?Just their idea of God.
God is your chain,religion is your chain,the idea of sin ,the idea of virtue are your chains.
I am not a agnostic but my idea of God is different.For me ,God does not exist in temples,Churches.

After reading it ,some people might think that Amrit is gone mad,insane.He is condemning the whole system,religions,priest,pops.He is a type of insane.Whatever you guys think about me,I do not mind.But I have no intention to condemn anything,your religion,your beliefs.I Just couldn't stop myself to press random keys on keyword on express my random thoughts.You are free to say anything. Please do not take it all personally.I just placed my views.You all are most welcome to place your own views as comments.

Cheers!

My Experience with TCS(Tata Consultancy services)

Hello Friends.
I am going to share my experience with TCS.TCS had to visit our college on 5-6th september,2011.The selection procedure had 3 rounds.
1)Aptitude test
2)Technical interview
3)HR interview
I prepared myself for aptitude test .I solved the previous TCS papers and followed R.S agarwal.It had to be done on 5th september.I was placed in the 4th group for the test.TCS aptitude test is a online test which consist of 35 questions which you have to solve in 80 mintues.Certainly negative marking is there.1/3 marks for the every wrong question would be deducted.So never try to attempt more and more questions because they need a quality rather than quantity.The test started at 3pm.Out of first 7 questions i could not attempt a single one.Out of 35 questions i just attempted 19 questions.Perhaps i was the only one who attempted just 19 questions but still i opted quality over the quantity.Only GOD knows how i was feeling in the test.Heartbeat was on the peak.Test wasn't going as per the expectations.So after the test for the results i was sure that i am out.Before the announcement of it I had declared it to my parents,friends that i would be fail in the aptitude test.Reluctantly i came back to home and even didn't think about the Technical/HR interview so didn't touch any technical stuff for the 2nd round.In the evening i was totally desperate and was talking with my friend and  was being console bye her.Then with in 10 mintues result declared out.With the grace of GOD I had done it.My name was in the list.I was in the cloud 9 then .I thanked to GOD.
It was proved that accuracy matter not the quantity.Next day i had the technical and HR interview.I went through the technical stuff that i had mentioned in my resume.Be prepare what you have written in resume because they ask more question from there.

He:Any quesion you want to ask?
Me:No sir .Thank you.
He:ok amrit .Thank you.
Me:Thank you very much sir.
                                                                             I came out with a smiling face.I was pretty sure and confident about the results.With in 15 mintues i got to know that i had cleared it.Now i had the HR interview.The interviewer was a madam.I entered in the room with a smiling face.

a fight against corruption and blackmoney!

INDIA:World's 4th largest economy.Growing very rapidly,developing more and more professionals ,engineers,scientist and has become the first choice of foreign companies to invest and almost ahead in every field .Sorry,i forgot to tell we stand at 2nd position in corruption too.Are we waiting now to be at 1st in corruption too??The answer might be YES because what type of scams took place in recent past and response given by the government to yoga guru baba Ramdev for his indefinite fast against corruption and blackmoney nothing else can be expected from india's "democratic" government.Corruption is like epidemic in india.
I am a common man living in india ,love to my country as every indian do.But desperate by what is happening in india these days.scams and corruption are almost in every country of the world but india dominates in it.
In the recent past number of scams took place in india ,most popular were 2G scam(1.76 million crore) and CWG(common wealth games) scam.The main issues here today are 'corruption and blackmoney' and framing of 'Jan Lokpal bill' raised by baba ramdev and Anna Hazare(Social activist) respectively.About Jan Lokpal bill the final decision is yet not made by government and some demands are still unaccpted.So we cannot assure whether the agreement will take place and all the demands will be accpted between Anna Hanare's team and government.But about the issue 'blackmoney and corruption' which was raised by baba ramdev ,i have definately something to say.
India having more than 1.4 trillion(400 lakh crore) blackmoeny in foreign banks leads the world.Definately owner of this moeny are our "democratic" politicians ,bureaucrats,bussinessmans,industralists etc who are not taintless.They are looting india,'richer becoming more rich and poorer becoming more poor'.I would like to thanks A Raja (former telecom minister) due to whom we are today at 2nd position in the world having the biggest scam ever.
How long we can allow them to do so.Should someone take the initiative to fight against it?Expected answer would be Yes.But who will take the initiative and If someone take then should we support it?
Baba Ramdev took the initiative and went on a indefinite fast on 4 june 2011 against blackmoney and corruption but unfortunately the fight couldn't be successful and government and baba could not reach on any agreement.Issues raised by the baba were genuine and vivid as:

a)The blackmoney should be get back from foreign banks and must be declare as national property=>Yes it should be such as

b)The corrupted one should be hardly punished=>Why not?

c)There should be deadline for the government affiars

d)a lot more

But what was expected from his fast nothing happened like that.After 7 days protest he was hospitalised.Desperately he ended his nine-day fast heeding the appeals of various spiritual and religious leaders.
There are lot of reason why fight could not be successful.I don't know whether i am right here or wrong.But one reason was the Non-support of Us(indian) to baba's protest.Indians just can fight with each other over their religion,culture and for it we can go on hunger strikes,stirs and rampage.We will do everthing here to win over each other.Bur we cannot support a person who is fighting for us against the government.Governement didn't give importance and didn't worry about his protest beacause they knew that indians are slepping soundly against these issues so they tried to gag the baba.Before 1947 we were slave to British and now we are slave to our democratic government who are cultivating our country with corruption.
In india it is common whenever anybody has tried to a raise a voice ,to protest against disablility , misdeeds of government the democratic government tried to gag them.is it call democracy? on ramdev's fast rather than taking appropriate decision on his demands government tried to gag him too and tried to divert the issue to put allegations on him.Government tried to prove that baba is playing a game,he is doing so just for his political career,he has illicit assests etc.Here i want to ask a question from government.OK,we agree all the allegation put by you on him are true but if you were aware to all this then why you did not take a action against him before his fast against corruption and blackmoney.For what you were waiting? it is your disability that you could not do anything before.Secondly if baba have been found corrupted then your have power to take a action against him but why are you diverting a issue from "blackmoeny corruption" to prove "Baba Ramdev is a corrupted yoga guru".you might go ahead on his issue and might take a legal action against him if he would found guilty in any case.wasn't is right choice?
But you just tried to gag him and to budge from the real issue.Every indian knows what had happened at Ram Lila ground in delhi on 4-5 june midnight.Government tried to forcible disperse the agitating mob and became violent when government found itself in predicament.The reason why government had not agree upon to get back blackmoeny proves they are owner of that and they think that is their "Personal" assest.They are all of dubious character who can't be trust upon.
Corruption is like epidemic in india.This is the right time for creating a legal framework for tacking the menance of corruption .We are still snoring against these serious issues so it is the high time to awake otherwise they will sell our india one day.
