There is no such thing as a new religion.
Could there ever be a new numerical system for counting?..........no.
The numerical system we have is as old as man himself and works perfectly and is accepted by all people.
Could a person have a dream about numbers and wake up in the morning and start a new numerical system?................Yes they could - and it would be so troublesome and difficult to work with - and if they didn't borrow any mathematical truths from the existing system then their system would be full of error.
This is what happened a few thousand years ago with Judaism Christianity and Islam.
Someone had a dream and thought that they were talking to God and started their new religion.
These days they are called schizophrenic and are given medication.
But when they had their dream .....religion was already existing at the time and had been existing for hundreds of thousands of years before - but because they were delusional they invented their own religion and also discarded all the difficult rules that true religion demands of its adherents and that are absolutely necessary to progress in spirituality.
They thought if they are going to invent a new religion then they must make it as attractive as possible and dismiss many of those annoying austere requirements that people need to adopt to advance in spiritual consciousness.
People didn't take to the new religion at first- but after the founder of the religion had the backing of the troops to persuade the people to adopt it - they soon accepted it.
After a while those people had children and taught this new religion to their children and because the children accept anything that their parent teach them even Santa clause and the tooth fairy - then the religion really took off because theses children grew up and totally and fully accepted the religion without question to be the one and only.
The person who had the dream in the first place had died by then - and after his death he was called a saint or saviour or redeemer or prophet without question even though he was an animal killer and had no knowledge of God or the spiritual life at all - but fabricated anything and everything from his vivid imagination. however( he had the gift of poetry) and was well read and well travelled and this was his only asset for compiling anything.
True religion cannot be new ........(a few thousand years old is new)
True religion must be as old a God himself and go back to the beginning of creation itself --- otherwise it has been fabricated by someone.
True religion cannot be fabricated from mundane man -and must come in line starting with the Supreme Personality of Godhead himself and be passed on from Spiritual Master to Spiritual Master to the present day.
The Vedas are that original true religion.......always were and always will be.
False religion will be full of error and falsity......and support cruelty to animals.
True religion shall be perfect.
No one can properly understand true religion/spirituality/God..... by going on-line and Googling.
The bonafide Spiritual Master must be approached when the student is ready.
The bonafide Spiritual Master shall be a Vaisnava.
In India and the world...... pseudo/fake spiritual masters are a dime a dozen.
