Sadaji, pranAms..
I can share from my my own personal
experience..
Though I was born in a family and also got
married to a family, where religious traditions were
followed to a large extent, I was not a highly religious
person (of there is such a term). I used to visit temples
almost on a daily basis , believed in God and has a lot of
questions (to which I sometimes got answers but also did not
at other times).. My gravitation towers vedAntA a little
more than half a decade back, made me to understand Hinduism
as a religion better.. To me hence, one does not need to be
religious to become spiritual.. But when one becomes
spiritual, one understands religion better :-)

Thanks - Pertaining to the last sentence - Does one have to
be religious (whatever that means) to be spiritual.

To me, religion is confining oneself to a form,
applicable to groups of people..
Spirituality is a way of living and hence encompasses
every
sphere of our life.. Applicable to anyone and everyone,
irrespective of gender and religion..
One can be religious and not be spiritual..
When one is spiritual, one is religious also..
PranAms..

What is the difference between Religion vs Spirituality?
Are
the complimentary or sometime contradictory. Should one
has
to be Religious (whatever that means?) to be spiritual
and
for one to follow spirituality should one has to be
religious.
The question is raised since I see in some posts in
facebook
that Religion is a problem or is causing lot of problem
in
the very practice and can even be obstruction for
spirituality. I have also seen many who spend lot of time
in
daily religions practices and not interested in Vedantic
study.
Hari Om!
