Similar Spiritual and Religious Stories from All the Religions

Similar Spiritual and Religious Stories from All the Religions

Since childhood everyone listens to the stories told by seniors, it could be parents, teachers or relatives or friends or anyone.

When once I heard the story of Jesus Christ,immediately I came to know that in Hindu - Script there is story of RantiDev. Very much similarity between both sacrifices to hold high the humanity. (Story of Ranti Dev, by Geeta Press Gorakhpur). One more story all of us listen in our childhood is also, Dadhichi Rushi. He literally donated his bones to develop the weapon for Gods to over power/ kill Demons.
Another one, there was story that Grandfather of Shivaji went to Shahasharif, i.e. a Hindu went to Muslim Saint and asked for off springs/ sons. When he got two sons he named them Shahaji and Shrafji. Similar story is there for Nabab Shujauddoula's wife. She was devotee of Hanuman the Hindu god, when she got a son she constructed a Hanuman temple in Alipanja area of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. (A story in Loksatta, Monday, 6th April 1998).

Thus, FAITH HAS NO RELIGION and BHAKTI or DEVOTION has its own POWER called SHAKTI which has no barriers. In this spiritual field, any one can offer his/ her prayer to any God anywhere in the world. If some one finds a barrier, then it is an artificial barrier and many have successfully broken it many times, as an individual whenever s/he was in trouble and when even they came to final decision, that only this God/ Saint can help me/ my family/ near and dear ones.

Then there is a story of 'Noah's Arc' which is similar to the Matsyavatar (Incarnation of Lord Vishnu) and a Man, who saved the Vedas (the spiritual script along with the basic seeds of the living entities on earth) using his formidable Boat/ Arc.

There are so many similar stories we can quote here that a trillion words/ pages will not be enough. Thus, ultimately, all religions are similar and have similar foundations. Ultimately that ultimate reality is also only one, it reminds us.

Faiths are same religions are same, they differ by not more than 0.0000000000000001%. It is fact, because faith overpowers all religions. FAITH is ONE God is One the almighty and alpervading, Allah, Yehova, the anant koti brahmand nayak....
