    Mysticism in World Religions
    Status: Member
    Description: Every religion is made up of two wings, the orthodoxy and mysticism. The word orthodox from the Greek means “having the right opinion” from orthos = right, true or staight, and doxa =opinion, praise, related to dokein which means thinking. Accordingly the word orthodoxy typically means adhering to the accepted or traditional and established faith, especially in religion. The word mysticism (from the Greek mystikos, an initiate of a mystry religion). This initiate is in the pursuit of communion with, identity with or conscious awareness of an ultimate Reality, Divinity, Spiritual Truth or God through direct experience, intuition, or insight. Mysticism usually centers on a practice or practices intended to nurture that experience or awareness. Mystic traditions generally form sub-currents within larger religious traditions - such as Kabbalah within Judaism , Sufism, within Islam, Vedanta within Hinduism, Christian mysticism within Christianity, Zen (Ch’an) within mainstream Buddhism and Taoism. The term '"mysticism'" is used to refer to beliefs and practices which go beyond the liturgical and devotional forms of worship of mainstream faith, often by seeking out inner or esoteric meanings of conventional religious doctrine. For example, Kabbalah (based in Judaism) seeks out deeper interpretations of the Torah, Sufism (in Islam) extends and amplifies the teachings of the Quran in the spirit of universal love, Vedanta reaches for the inner teachings of Hindu philosophy encapsulated in the Vedas. Mystics hold that there is a deeper or more fundamental state of existence beneath the observable, day-to day world of phenomena, and that in fact the ordinary world is superficial or epiphenomenal. This group, is for the mystics from every religion in order to reach this One and Universal fundamental state of existence in All the religions of the World.

Who am I – why am I, where I came from –what is the ultimate truth of ‘I’ existence, how and why the great universe came into existence, how the creatures came into existence and what is the end of all––??? In reality, what is happened after death, what is the God’s own reality, is it possible to pay a visit of God, is God really become incarnated ––??? ––True answers of these questions are obtainable in ‘MahaVad’.

There are two ways of practice in ‘MahaVad’, one is ‘MahaManan’–the way of true Spiritual knowledge and true self-development. Other is ‘MahaSadhana’ –the way of devotion–the way of pure love – eternal love. Be dignified –being a follower of ‘MahaVad’ and ‘MahaDharma’. Thank you. MahaDharma A new religion has been introduced at the beginning of 21st century. Name of this religion is ‘MahaDharma’ and its religious doctrine is ‘MahaVad’. ‘MahaDharma’ is introduced by MahaManas alias (MahaAnand) –the great sage of the modern age. ‘MahaDharma is spreading widely everyday through internet. Now the question, –is it a new religion or eternal religion? MahaDharma is the Religion of human being, that is to say humanity. MahaDhrama is the eternal religion of human being –the natural religion of mankind. Actually, ‘MahaDharma’ is not a new religion, ‘MahaDharama’ is the eternal religion which has revealed newly from the abyss of oblivion, or which was hide for our ignorance so long. ‘MahaDharma’ is made by human being and made for human welfare. That is ‘MahaDharma’ which helps to bloom the Mind and also consciousness, that which is free from all bad sides like superstition, malice, hatred, cruelty, malpractice, and which does not give us any false promise. That is true religion. Humanitarianism is our 'ism', it is 'MahaVad' --the great doctrine of the modern times, taught by MahaManas. The main subject of the true religion is, True self-development (Maha Atma-Vikash education) -that which directly helps to develop our mind, that which teaches the method of better living and that which helps and incite or insist to get true knowledge. The great religion ‘MahaDharma’ is formed by some students and devotees of MahaManas alias MahaAnand. ‘MahaDharma’ is formed on the base of ‘MahaVad’. ‘MahaVad’ is a true spiritual and true self-developmental doctrine & teachings of MahaManas. Making us proper human being –is the chief object of ‘MahaDharma’. This religion chiefly consists with virtues and duties of human beings, not with any blind-faith and inhuman activities. Our chief Religious duty is to belong to the true self-development education of 'Mahavad'. The bounden duty of human beings is our Religious practice. The main duty is to advance to be complete human being –to get true development of conscious mind. The continuous study of that is our Worship. ‘MahaDharma’ is not like other religions. The differences here are more pronounced than the similarities with other religions. Worship of God is not main object of this religion. The main object of this religion is to make us proper human being. Development of mind and also blooming of consciousness is the fundamental tune of ‘MahaDharma’ –and that is the natural quality of human beings. In reality, ‘MahaDharma’ is our natural–fundamental religion, that which we forgot so long. We –self-oblivious men, forgetting our aim of life, are living in an ecstatic state. By practicing which religion with great devotion, one can become a proper human being, is ‘MahaDharma’. ‘MahaDharma’ is your own religion–natural religion. When you will be aware or conscious about it –about aim of life, and also will be desirous to practice it –to be advanced towards the aim of life, then you will be initiated in your own religion– ‘MahaDharma’. Proud to be associated with ‘MahaDharma’, for construction of a true spiritual world, for a better life.
