Beyond Da Vinci Code

The best seller of Dan brown’s work Da Vinci code ,no doubt, turned to be the favourite of so many ardent mystery book lovers. I am no exception. The book caught me in clutches when I read it first. Still when i read it, it keeps me from getting distracted.

After reading the book, I started exploring more and more on the Templars, Constantine, Roman and Jewish Practices. Any book shop I go, these books catch my attention and end up in my book shelf at home. One such book is ‘Beyond the Da Vinci Code’.

When Dan brown confirmedly declares Jesus would have got married, this book focuses on all the Practices, rituals of the Jews at that timeline and concludes saying Jesus may or may not have got married. I would not term it interesting; it was a big hard bound book full of facts. It changed my complete view on Leonardo of Vinci.

But what intended me to share in this blog is not about Dan brown or his works. When I was pondering over all these, something struck hard in my thoughts. Being a Christian and grown in beliefs, virtues and values of Christianity, with faith in Christ, why do I show much interest on something that defames my root of faith and that too not proven anywhere. But meagre interest I have on the realism.

There are so many silent achievers in my surrounding and family which I am not aware of. And the history of India is the richest in the world. I never had the urge to know about all that till now. Is it human tendency? Are we following whatever he has said, the good virtues, and the life of a perfect Samaritan? The answer is big no. Then why feel betrayed that our root of faith is misled?

There are so many intrusions of other cultures in our lives today. Are we satisfied with any Indian brand for any product we use? We always look out for an international brand. When the life of a common man is deeply influenced by other cultures, imagine the impact of the contemporary cultures on Christianity.

It is best to explore Bible and learn to live on its discourses rather than trying to find the family life of Jesus Christ. I don’t care a thing if Jesus is married, had a kid or any sort. I had, have, and will have faith on the man who walked the very earth I am living now, and gave excellent principles for human beings to live ethically, and shed his blood to save the lot from their sins.
