The ORIGIN of RELIGIONS

[OPVerma]

In the beginning about 1.97 billion years ago, humans had airy body and they did nothing except moving around the Globe. It was very nice and pleasant even though the Earth's atmosphere was filled with methane and ammonia like gases.

Subsequently when human body become gross, they needed terrestrial and marine dwelling abodes. They drank water soup, and now being confined to some place they began to think as to who they were? what they were supposed to do? and who was the owner of the earth and sky?

Their leader Proto human Brahma, meditated and seemed to hear 4 verses meaning that God is the Master and everything has emanated from Him. These 4 slokas mark the BEGINNING of the RELIGION. People then began to think about GOD and various ways to please HIM.

Brahma prayed for audience so God appeared in form of SWAN and preached. That became the First Religion -Swan Religion.

Later on god incarnated in many forms like Hayagriva, Matsya and Kurma and His preaching were recorded and added to the religion.

During Jurassic Era , Many sages began to worship natural forces like wind, fire, sun, with chants and hymns that subsequently took shape of VEDAS.

Those who were living around Caspian Shore ( at that time a part of Tethys sea) were called as ASHURS. They considered Ahur Mazda ( Ashur Maya Danav) to be their GOD. And those who were living in Europe and India Considered VISHNU ( who lived in Iceland) as their God. Hence there arose a great conflict called as Devashur War that continues till date.

Vishnu Religion became SANATAN DHARMA. Though During the great Cretaceous Flood (approx. 100 million years) Europe and India became cut off yet India continued to follow the Sanatan Dharma. and worshiped other incarnations of Vishnu like Vaman etc. During this time Rishav Deva intiated the Jain Dharma.

When the great flood receded 99.3 million years) Vaivaswat Manu came to India and Rama was born (19.4 million) adding another god in the List of Sanatan Dharma. Mean while the Vedic Gods of Natural Forces too continued
to be worshiped Along with the followers of SHIVA in the Sanatan Dharma.

So called Hinduism has developed in 4 phases. The first Vedic Phase in which the Nature's Forces were worshiped. The second began around 1500BC. with the advent of Krishna. the third phase around Christian Era with Monistic ( Buddhist ) influence, and the Forth phase dating 9th century in which monotheistic cults were developed by fervent personal devotion to a particular deity.

In Europe, the initial Sanatan Dharma was replaced during the Ice Age by Buddhism that too was displaced by Christianity.
