Bridge Building

According to Prof. F. Maxmuller, Vedas are the most ancient books in

the library of the world. it is Devine Revelation as though a manual as to

how to lead life & from Cradle to grave. The Holy Vedas enjoin upon

mankind “Matrimaan Pitrimaan Acharyavaan purusho ved.” i.e. it is the

mother, father & the teacher only by whom man’s character is molded.

Rather, you can be rest assured that those who are devoted to mother, father

and teacher blossom forth in the right direction. Many a times the firing by

them hurt children but they forget, that such a timely firing goes a long way

in their larger interest and character building.

It is the mutual relations existing between the parents and their

children which plays the most decisive role in the ultimate making of

children. Parents pass on to their children the first hand experience through

because of this, they indulge in many social offences e.g. sexual relations,

drugs, drinking, smoking and so on. But a close relation with parents

definitely helps the children to refrain from the aforesaid vices. Loneliness

often generates in children a type of mental debility as a result of which they

fall an easy prey to tension, stress, suicide or criminal tendencies.

When we talk about finding a solution to all these maladies, then there

is no alternative but to surrender at the feet of our ancient religious

scriptures. If only today the younger generation turns their highly intelligent

mind to find out solution to its problems from these scriptures full of

wisdom! They can transform this world into a veritable heaven. I quote
