Religious mind in the technological age Venue Panhala Fort Resort, Kolhapur
Dates September 9 - September 13 , 2011 (Please note change in venue from Hyderabad to Kolhapur) ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
“A religious mind is free of the past; a religious mind is free of time, because time belongs to the positive and negative reactions. So a religious mind is a mind that is capable of thinking precisely, not in terms of negative and positive. Therefore, such a religious mind has within it the scientific mind, but the scientific mind does not have the religious mind in it. The religious mind contains the scientific mind; but the scientific mind cannot contain the religious mind, because that is based on time, on knowledge, on achievement, success, utilization.” - J. Krishnamurti Most of the major religions in the world are based on belief, faith and sentimentality. They demand faith in some concepts, ideas and are not open to investigation. They are based on fear and exploit constant human search for security. Their concept of god is more a result of faith than the actual experiencing of the reality of god. This has given rise to many foolish ideas, meaningless rituals and traditions. But by questioning all these, the science has struck at the very roots of traditional religiosity. The scientific conclusions based on accurate observations, precise measurements, constant verification through experiments, have rendered all the old religious beliefs meaningless.
