    religion is institutionalized dharma, which many times kills dynamic spiritual advancement.

    Religion (from Latin 're-ligio': re - again, legare - to connect) denotes reunion of individual living beings (jiva, atma) with supreme living being, God. In this original sense it's synonymous with 'yoga' which is beyond material dharma. Bhakti yoga = sanatana dharma.

    some say that re-ligio comes from the sanskrit word yug or yoga...
