Answer 1

The four principles of religion are
1.Truthfulness
2.Cleanliness
3.Austerity
4.Compassion.

Vaishnavism or Krishna Consciousness upholds these religious principles by abstaining from the four irreligious impious acts. The four vices viz., meat eating, intoxication, gambling and illicit sex, which destroy the four pillars of religion mentioned above.

These principles can be practiced all over the world by reestablishing the principles of Sanatana Dharma (eternal religion) or Varnashrama Dharma. These principles are based on the Vedas which literally means knowledge.
The Vedas teach the four goals of human life,
1.Dharma -Practice of religion
2.Artha - Economic development,
3.Kama - Sense gratification and
4.Moksha - Liberation or Salvation by which one is reinstated in one's constitutional position in the spiritual world.

In order to achieve the goal of life the Vedas give the Varnashrama Dharma which classifies the human beings accoording to one's nature of work and quality. All these can be reestablished if Vaishnavism or krishna Consciousness is accepted as state religion all over the world. Actually it is not artificial since Lord Ramachandra as ideal King, King Prithu, King Ambarish, King Yudhisthira, King Parikshit etc. . . all showed how it can be practiced all over the world. In fact, people still like to have Rama Rajya.

Below is the purport to (Srimad Bhagavatam 4.29.81 by A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,
Founder-Acharya of ISKCON
(International Society for Krishna Consciousness)

It was the responsibility of the royal order to see that the citizens were following the regulative principles of the four varëas (namely brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya and sudra) and the asramas (namely brahmacarya, grihastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa). It is very difficult to rule citizens in a kingdom without organizing this varnasrama-dharma. To rule the mass of citizens in a state and keep them in a complete progressive order is not possible simply by passing laws every year in a legislative assembly. The varnarama-dharma is essential in a good government. One class of men (the brahmanas) must be intelligent and brahminically qualified, another class must be trained in administrative work (ksatriya), another in mercantile business (vaisya) and another simply in labor (sudra). These four classes of men are already there according to nature, but it is the government's duty to see that all four of these classes follow the principles of their varnas methodically. This is called abhiraksana, or protection.

Answer 2

1. I can hang with that.
2. Vegatarians are some of the most unhealthy people on the planet and that will not end world hunger.
3.I can hang with organic farming but that will not stop pollution.
4.I can hang with nature, but that won't stop pollution either.
5.Totally dangerous ground you tread here.(Vaisnavism (Lord Krishna) will have to banned as it is not the true relligion (I told ya you were treading on dangerous ground).
6.There will still be miseries.
7. There will still be prostitution.
8. ganbling and suicides, I'm not quite getting the connection between the two, uuummm I suppose on occasion they could go together.
9.End of Drug Companies, Are you out of your flippin mind, Do you not realize how many cures and preventive measures there are. Also they don't cause disease.

Answer 3

No....we need only look at Nepal where the State religion is Hinduism to see how it is abused there. I think that seperation of religion and State is very important. I am not saying that politicians aren't entitled to religious beliefs, I just think that it's best that no one religion be imposed upon others. Not that I have any complaints with Vaisnavism since it is a large denomination within Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma) and I know that as a Ganapatyas I'd have no problem living in a world with Vaisnavism as the State religion....however having seen how those with ill intentions have abused so many religions throughout history (and even today), I fear that Vaisnavism would be abused by those with ill intentions, corrupted by power, etc and thus those very people would sour the great beauty of Vaisnavism itself.

Answer 4

There should be no mandatory state religion. All human beings have the right to believe what they want.

(P.S. some of your ideas are pretty illogical--no gambling = no suicides? What about depression. Illegal prostitution = no prostitution? Wrong--it's illegal lots of places anyway, and still happens. No drug companies = no disease? Right...you need to read up on these things called "bacteria" and "viruses" and "genetic disorders," k punkin? And don't even get me started on the "TRUE religion" part of the program...)

Answer 5

I Should answer this, Sadly with a disagreement to your nice thought, It would be really nice to have it as per your thoughts but Think of it this way. This world is inside the domain of time and in equilibrium, Thus IF THERE IS GOOD THEN THERE SHOULD BE BAD then only differentiation is of any meaning. IF EVERY THING BECAME GOOD, Then We did not require to call it so with any name, as there would not be any necessity for differentiation.

SHALL WE LEAVE THE WORLD TO BE AS IT IS WE HAVE MADE ENOUGH DISTURBANCE, thinking that we want to change the world to a better place SEE WHERE WE HAVE BROUGHT THE WORLD TO.

Religion can only take us to a limit in the process of enlightenment, After that it is left to you and the dawn of pure knowledge to take us beyond ( The manifested world ).

i like it except I can't give up chicken! and 2ndly Hinduisms is not at large any more. Christianity is # 1 in the world then Islam is #2 and Judaism is #3 i think Buddhism is #4 then Hinduism # 5. I don't see alot of people being happy about that. beside Declaration of Rights of Men says FREEDOM OF RELIGION

Answer 7

Hinduism is the worlds oldest and strongest religion, it has survived attacks from christians, muslims for two millenium, Hindus never force their religion on others like buddhism or christians do, Hindus are most secular and tolerant and that itself is the weakness of the Hinduism because muslims exploit that good nature of Hindus.

Answer 8

The world has got variety of people. The mental state of each one can not be the same. People have variety of taste. For instance sweet contains sugar as the main ingredient. But no body would like to consume raw sugar as it is. They prepare sweets of different tastes but all contain sugar only. All can not relish 'laddu' or zelebi. Some people crave for milk sweets, some ghee sweets, some like sweets with pulses etc. some consume in solid form, some like liquid form. Hence we can not have a straight jacket for all irrespective of their shape and size. No doubt Vaishnavism may cater to the taste of several, but all may not get the same satisfaction as you get. nagarajan.

Answer 9

Mr.Praveen is greater advantageous than a Praveen. I agree if Mr.praveen is greater advantageous than a praveen. i be responsive to basically one praveen, wherefrom yet another praveen comes? Krishna is Narayana, Mahavishnu. he's worshipped as a God. God is often with divine state of being simply by fact he's god. I agree Krishna is a God.
