:: KARNATAKA - RELIGION

Karnataka bears a history of about 2000 years and occupies sixth place in its extent in India. It is said that the name Karnataka is derived from 'Karu-nadu' meaning black soil, or 'Kammitthu-nadu' meaning fragrance; it also means that it is a land situated at height. Huientsang the Chinese traveller who visited Karnataka has called the land 'Moholacha' (Maharashtra). 'Karu-nadu' means Maharashtra in Sanskrit.

Hinduism : Hinduism is the most ancient religion. It gets its guidance from the vedas, Upanishads, Sutra Epics and Granthas. Hinduism incorporates all forms of belief and worships without necessitating the selection or elimination of any. The core of Hinduism does not depend on the existence or non existence of God or on whether there is one God or many.

Islam : In the Muslim religion the supreme deity is Allah and the founder and chief prophet is Mohammed.

Mohammed was an Arab, born in the city of Mecca. He taught that there is only one god and he is only a messenger. Mohammed died in 632. The largest Muslim communicates exist in the Middle East, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Central Asia, Turkey and Albania.

Mecca and Madina are sacred cities of Islam. The Muslims also built magnificent mosques and structures like the Allhambra in Spain and the Taj Mahal in India.

Christianity : Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem in the state of Israel. Like that of many other prophets, the birth of Jesus was foretold through an angelic announcement. The birth of another king within the kingdom seem to have frightened King Herod (The actual king of the Jews). So he ordered to kill all the babies born in his kingdom. Jesus was saved. Jesus is the son of Virgin Mary and foster father Joseph.

Christians believe that the eternal and unchanging nature of God was bound up in the humanity of Jesus. He was both truly God and truly human.

JAINISM : Jainism is a religion without a belief in god. The jains believe that neither perception not inference can prove the existence of God. The concept of Jainism is very extreme that they wear a Muslin cloth against their mouth to prevent any germs or insets from entering it.

Lord Mahavir is linked to Jainism. Lord Mahavir and Gautam Buddha have a remarkably similar history. Mahavir has from a royal family. He was a prince of Bihar. At the age of 30 he renounced of his family and his luxurious life and became a monk. He spent 12 years in mediation to overcome his material desires. After 12 year attained realization. Which is known as Keval Jnana.
