Do I have to change my religion?
No. How Master Within understands the relationship between Thakur and other traditions.
No. People of different faiths, and of none, read and practise here, and nobody is asked to give up their roots.
In Master Within’s understanding, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, Chaitanya, Ramakrishna and Thakur are expressions of the same underlying truth in different times and circumstances. His followers understand him to have spoken of fulfilling the prophets who came before him, not of replacing them. Both are our interpretation; other traditions describe themselves in their own words, and we do not claim they would agree.
What we do ask is sincerity: bring your real questions, and test what you find here against your own life.
