UNITY BETWEEN RELIGIONS

Unity between different religions is essential for modern living. All religions accept that God/Creator is the same for the entire humanity. But each religion has given a specific name to their own religious God. Hindus called him as Vishnu, Christians as Jehovah, and Muslims as Allah. Their are people in every religion who worship their religious God and achieved their desires. What is common behind these different religious prayers is to be understood.
As a simple answer , it is the thought force behind every religious prayer. It is the thought power that reaches God/Creator (common to all religions) where from the response comes. If so why the religious clashes?
These religious clashes are mainly due to lack of understanding of their own religion . No religion encourages fights between religions. Since all religions lead to the same destiny (God/ Creator) there should be some common aspects between different religions. Several eminent men and saints of India tried their best to bring unity between different religions. One such effort is given below for the sake of better understanding.
The book Kaivalya Darsanam , THE HOLY SCIENCE by Jnanavatar Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri
is one such attempt to bring unity between Christianity and Hinduism and all other religions. I quote below a paragraph of the foreword of Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda on this book.
"Prophets of all lands and ages have succeeded in their God-quest. Entering a state of true illumination, NIRBIKALPA SAMADHI, these saints have realised the Supreme Reality behind all names and forms. Their wisdom and spiritual counsel have become the scriptures of the world. These, although outwardly differing by the reason of the variegated cloaks of words, all are expressions --- some open and clear, others hidden or symbolic --- of the same basic truths of Spirit."
This book brings out several aspects that are common between Christianity and Hinduism as in their religious books, and attempts to establish a fundamental harmony between the religions. It is worth reading for those who are interested in unity between religions.
We are endowed with some spiritual resources. Our life is the resultant action of application of these spritual resources and the planetary vibrations. The position of the planets at the time of birth are so adjusted that they represent the resultant action of our Karma in our past birth. Indirectly we are responsible for the planets position at birth. Any evils in the planets position at birth can be nullified by utilizing our spiritual resources,  by meditation and by doing good deeds that can nullify the evil of our past birth. Utilising correct Astrology we can calculate the good and evil timings. We can enhance good and nullify evil by our spiritual resouces. That is where the utility of astrology comes. The ultimate principle of operation behind every religion is thought force. It is behind every religious prayer. It is common to all religions. It is where all religions coincide.
It may be surprising to say that there are people who worship the idols of COCK and get their wishes fulfilled. Thought power is behind their worship. If this simple principle can be understood properly there can be unity between all religions. The creation is like that. THOUGHT POWER IS THE OPERATING SYSTEM OF HUMAN LIFE.
Behind every religious prayer by any person some thought power is generated. In case the same person criticises other religions, he is indirectly criticising the principle (thought power) common to all religious prayers. Thereby he is bound to loose the thought power generated by him. Most of the religious prayers are getting nullified as they have not understood the principle behind all religious prayers. If he wants to achieve something by his own religious prayers, he should not criticise other religions. There lies the correct utility of prayer.
