what is religion and what is spirituality?

Hai all....lot is spoken about RELIGION and SPIRITUALITY...every one has his own opinion...i also have my own...

Generally religion and spirituality are defined based on God and beliefs based on god ('God Centric').
I think they should be based on Human beings ('Human Centric').

God centric definition leads to fear, low self confidence, parasitic dependence on god, obsession, division of human beings, emotional attachment to god leading to fights between different sects/religions etc.
Human centric definition removes all these negatives and leads to happiness, peace, good physical-mental-social health and self actualisation.


The center of any definition related to HUMAN BEINGS should be PHYSICAL-MENTAL-SOCIAL well-being of ALL human beings.


so, my definitions are as follows...

Religion - A way of life. This will define the way we live. The activities, beliefs, rituals, hobbies, way we relate to others and social systems around, dress, food, all mind related issues etc. This will be different for different people living at different places in the world with some commonalities. Any religion which is based on 'love and care for ALL human beings' only will survive and prosper naturally.

Spirituality - Any physical act or mental act, place, person, item, life event, social situation, belief that gives life long physical-mental-social health to that individual. So, this also will differ from person to person with some commonalities. Being in the present, enjoying what we do, accepting people and realities as they are, having a physical and mental exercise regime is Spiritual living.

Spiritually yours
