Religion declines when people talk about religion but do not practice it,or when
people use it for their own selfish motives.
Religion becomes polluted when hypocricy and dishonesty,lust and greed,jealousy and
hatered, ego and fanatiscm are rampant in peoples mind.
Krishna declared in the bhagavad gita: 'When religion declines and irreligion
prevails, I incarnate myself in every ago to establish religion.' As the same moon
rises in the sky again and agian,so the same god descends to the earth as a human
being in different places and in different times to fulfill the need of the age and
to point out the goal of human life. This is not a myth:the lives of
Rama,Krishna,Buddha,Moses,Christ,Muhammad,and Ramakrishna attest to the gita's
statement.
