Description
Summary:Why do patterns of worship change? Or rather do the forms of cult change according to the change of time? It is an undeniable fact that transformations of old forms of worship are taking place in almost all the major World Religions. Many are the reasons scholars advance to account for this phenomenon of change. The intimate relation between creed, cult and culture is certainly one among the foremost reasons for this religious reality. Major universal religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism; Christianity arid Islam, in their course of earthly expansion, came in contact with cultures alien to the culture of their birth-place, and they voluntarily made an adaptation of themselves, taking care all the time to be faithful to their original creed, indispensable in their new-found cultural situation.
