One of the most followed religions in the world today is Christianity.  While there are different doctrines that separate most sects of this religion, it is purely because the Holy Bible is open to interpretation.

While some people believe that eternal security is obtained once you accept Jesus into your heart, there are some who believe that you have to work out your own salvation until the day that you die.  But the truth is that we will continue to sin for the rest of our lives.

Perhaps one of the most unique things about Christianity is the fact that it is evangelical in nature ever since Jesus commanded his disciples to go and spread the good news.   No matter how the message of love and hope are presented, these two will always remain as some of the pillars of Christianity.

Since the Internet has become a medium to spread information, you can find information regarding faith and Christianity on websites over the Internet regardless if you have been recently saved, have been a practicing Christian for a long time now, or a nonbeliever.

While these sites also talk about the Word and God, and interpret the former in today’s scenario, you can also find interpretations from the Bible about important events such as the antichrist conspiracy among other events as well.

Let us accept the fact that while we might always think of ways on how we would get our wants by making more money, there are some instances when no matter how much money we are able to generate, the need simply does not end.

One of these instances would be that of a charity.  Since it is all about helping the underprivileged, you can find fun and very easy ways to actually raise money.

No, the manner in raising the money does not have to be a serious one even though the cause is.  Here is a list of easy ideas that can help raise money:

#1: Book Sale

One of the easiest ways to raise money for a charity is to ask around if people have unused books at their homes. Collect the said books and hold a garage sale.  You can then give the proceedings to the charity.

#2: Offering services that are needed

You can also offer some of the most basic services, which people do not have time for, such as mowing lawns, washing cars, watering gardens, and so on.  People pay well to get these menial tasks completed.

#3: Food for a cause

It is one of the most common ways to raise money since all you have to do is make simple foods such as burgers and pancakes, sell them at a stand at the park or the church, and do not forget to mention that you are raising funds for charity.

While there are several charities that accept money depending on the cause that they are pooling all their efforts and resources towards, one of the best ways by which one can ensure that their donation is safe is by donating their used car.

Not only will you be able to get a tax rebate when you do something like this, the charities that offer this service will be more than happy to do the paperwork as well as pick up the car from a location and time of your choice.

And if you haven’t considered this kind of charity before, you will just when you realize that the effort involved in getting a buyer for your car will be much more than donating it to a charity of your choice.

What you have to keep in mind is to have the legal documents that prove you own the car in order before contacting such as agency. Most people think that it is better to contact charities that you are familiar with to see if they do offer this kind of service before contacting other charities that you are not so familiar with, and who do offer this kind of service. This will ensure that your donation will go to a cause that you support wholeheartedly.

If they do not support such a charity, then another thing you can do is ask them to recommend a charity that does so, and if they don’t, then you can try your luck with Google.

While most people will associate a monk to be serious and aggrieved, nothing can be further from the truth when it came to Osho, the man who is considered to be one of the greatest spiritualists of all time.

Of course, he has had his fair share of controversies, but in taking up Osho sannyas one would have noticed a sea of change that his teachings brought to their lives.

If there’s anything that characterizes Osho’s stay here on earth, it was his ability to simplify seemingly complex religious texts so that the common man could understand it in the way it was meant to be understood.

And there wasn’t a subject that he left out as one will discover when they listen to the Osho discourses that are now available literally anywhere in the world. Yes, even though he is gone today, his work in regards to spirituality has been immortalized in the hearts and minds of people everywhere.

And just because he isn’t around, this doesn’t mean that one cannot get to know him and his teachings better because there are several Osho books that have been written and have benefited millions of people around the world today.

All in all, the impact that this man has had on New Age religion (for lack of a better word!) cannot be understated, and while people continue to go against his teachings, his life and teachings still continue to thrive in the world today.

Perhaps one of the most remarkable statements that anyone would have heard from a spiritual teacher (in this case, Osho) was that he never lost any sleep despite the way the world misunderstood him. Yes, this is literally one of his lesser known quotes that are a little different from the Tantra books that have found acceptance from people all over the world after he left us not so long ago.

Right off the bat, when one makes an attempt to understand Osho and his teachings, one thing is certain – he didn’t intend to invent another religion but sought to use the wisdom of both the East and the West for the benefit of humans from every part of the world.

And profit they have – whether it is the most popular Osho dynamic meditation method or even the various discourses that he wrote now and again.

And since his apparent distaste for religious authorities, political leaders and so on and so forth was rather obvious to all, Osho wasn’t necessarily the most loved but what most of his teachings today form the basis for the spiritual teachings now known as “New Age Religion”.

And there is no doubt that almost every person who has taken up the proverbial osho sannyas (as opposed to the conventional Hindu sannyas) has benefited immensely from his teachings, and will remain forever touched for the rest of their lives.

It’s only when you read what Osho stood for, it is only then that you will truly understand Osho.
