Religion existed to control society, to monitor those without the capacity to think things through for themselves, to provide promises and shimmering images in the sky, so that the urges of the masses could be calmed and regulated. - The Death of Vishnu by Manil Suri.
It may be true that this was the original purpose of religion. But, what is happening now is just the opposite. Religion is making even those with the capacity to think, lose their intellect. It is making them lose their hope. It is creating waves of urges in the masses which, instead of calming them, is igniting them to frenzy. It is making them believe in the fake - look at the scene at Nityananda Ashram on Guru Poornima day. What is causing such madness? It is a disgrace to religion. Whatever Kundalini power may have meant, it surely was not that.
