MODERN’ PARENTS PLEASE THINK:

MODERN’ PARENTS PLEASE THINK:

It is very much heartening to note that most of the present day parents do not have any iota of compunction in their minds, of what they are doing by taking away their children far away from this 'Sanatana Dharma'. My request to the present day parents is to spare a little time to ruminate on

1. What they have to do and what they are doing a lot can be learnt and thus make their children learn what is good and what is bad.

2. Any little opportunity they get to tell or teach their children they should grab it and infuse in their mind so many things that can remove the stumbling blocks and pave a smooth path for their children's movement towards the real treasure of knowledge of our Dharma. See this fact which I obtained from Google regarding the Christians. Most Christians belong to denominations that practice infant baptism. Denominational families that practice infant baptism include Catholics, Eastern and Oriental Orthodox, Anglicans, Lutherans, Presbyterians and other Reformed denominations, Methodists and some Nazarenes, and the Moravian Church. Are we nowadays inculcating the children to have trust in our Paramatma of any form.

3. Parents who teach English before/without teaching their children their Mother Tongue, parents who treat pilgrimages as tourist activities, parents who prefer to buy a cake instead of making ‘kheer’ on their children’s birthdays (just to avoid the extra work), parents who do think that feeding their children ‘eggs and/or meat, beef’ on a regular basis will make them strong (as against eating as per their natural diet), parents who feel that teaching about Sanatana Dharma, culture and heritage is a waste of time and money, all are the enemies of Sanatana Dharma though they don’t realize it yet.

4. Let anything good from anywhere be allowed by their children to be subsumed and in the process making them full-fledged or a complete personality and not a complicate personality.

5. It should not be forgotten that the biggest enemies of Sanatana Dharma are the leftists who have instilled or injected the media, education, temple administration, politics, unions, etc. They do not let any modern educational institutes teach about our ancient knowledge systems, they will not let any history books be altered, they insist on having only Islamic rulers in our school History books, they use our temple monies for purposes other than promoting Sanatana Dharma, they keep talking about ‘intolerance’ of the majority religion, want our country to be split into a hundred pieces and God know what else. All this is in the open and still nobody is seemingly able to stop them. A failed system which is now trying to destroy our heritage and culture.

6. Some pseudo scholars teach or preach that past is past and look at the present. Let us see one thing. Any corporate organisation draws its inferences from the past performance and the impediments that came across to abstruct the growth. Taking care of those things the organisation marches ahead. If not so the history repeats.

7. Valmiki and Vyasa exhorted abut forbearance. They said 'Kshamaya nishtitaam jagath'. But they never condemned slaying Ravana and Duryodhana. Hence we should know about the past to pave path for the future with due precautions lest we are making ourselves instrumental to allow the foreign bodies into our Sanathana Dharma.

8. If children are the peas and beans the parents are the pods. They should first learn to protect their children from the menace expected to be caused by the so called religions who more trust in Jihad and Crusades.

Though 'Offence is best course of defense' we need not go for it but we should be equipped with all the arms and ammunition to confront such delinquent and  reprobate organisations who always feel that what all they think or do is correct.
