FAQs
Q1. What is the purpose of a religious book?
The very purpose of a religious book is to describe the relationship between a soul (Jivatma) and God (Paramatma), and how to establish that relationship. This spiritual knowledge helps one to transcend the three modes of material nature (Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas) and be freed from the pangs of threefold miseries (Adi-Daivik, Adi-Bhautik, and Adi-Adhyatmik Klesh).
It is believed that those who read and understand the subject matter of a religious book every day, remain in the light of knowledge and are not bewildered even by slight changes and difficulties in life.
Q2. What is called a religious book?
A religious book, as the name suggests, is any book that talks about religion (Dharma). Religion refers to the constitutional position or nature of the living entities. Thus, a religious book describes what is the identity of an individual, their relationship with God, and how to build it.
It may sometimes also mention God’s names, paraphernalia, pastimes, and characteristics. This knowledge is called the Absolute Truth because it describes the source of everything (God) from which everything is emanated.
Q3. What are the books of God called?
Books of God are called scriptures that talk about the science of God, and elaborately explain how to achieve the love of Godhead. The Scriptures deal with all aspects of knowledge, both material and spiritual. They may also mention the qualities of God, His names, paraphernalia, activities, and pastimes.
This knowledge sets one free from material perplexities and elevates his consciousness to a higher platform (spiritual platform) after which, he is not affected by the pangs of material existence.
