=======================
Q:  Should  there  be  many Religions   or   only    one ?
A : Should there  be  only  one set  of  flower  in a  flower Garden  
      or  as many ?
Q :  But what about  Ritualism ? 
A : Ritualistic Practices  often  help religious  Growth.  Only excesses  or  blind  practices  have  no meaning . Even    sportsmen  and Musicians   have  their    own  way of  ritualistic  practices  that  help  their skill.
Q :  Do  you  believe in  Idol  worship ? 
A :  Even  if  I  don't,  I  under  stand  and  do  not  dis-respect  it .
      Do  You  believe  in  the CROSS  of Christianity  or don't you  believe  in  pictures  of your  dear ones  in  your Drawing room . Or do  not  you believe  in   the  wooden  toys  of  your   children  that give them  joy   and help  in  growth ?
Q  Why   Hindus  have   so  many  god-s ?
Ans:  Hindus  have  not  only  so  many  god-s  but  to  a  good  Hindu  every  one  everything  is  God  or  divine -gift  and  even  the planetary  gods  and  Galaxies  are  Divine's  agents and within  the SUPREME  GOD  or  PURUSHOTTAMA.
      To  a  good  Hindu  every  thing  is  Divine  ; from  stone  to  trees  to  insects  , animals  unto the  Godly man; as  every  thing is part  of  God or  extension  of  GOD. SANATAN  DHARMA ( Hinduism )  means  ABSOLUTE  Monism with  Pantheistic  faith.
To  a  good Hindu  men  of  other  Religions  are  not Enemies  but   other  expressions  of    Single  DIVINE .
That is  how  Ramakrishna  in  his  one -life practiced  all  Religions  ;  Hinduism , Islam   and  Christianity and   REALIZED     GOD !
