Money or right education, what is more important for your child?

In our Vedic times it is known to be a child will be under protection of his father till death and after he will take his responsibility and carry on, this way it was understood that child is in proper discipline and following the culture. So father was not even worried about whatever he left for his child and even that times it was assumed to not to accumulate too much.

But now, we see a father think I should save so much money for my child so he will enjoy his whole life and he does so much hard work for it. He brings costly gift for him, costly clothes and many more things so that child can never think of I am in lack of something.

If you don't give your child a costly gift, he will cry only once but if you fail to give him proper culture and education he will cry for his whole life. Now it's up to us what is more suitable to make our child future to give them costly gift or right education, so they can differentiate what is right and what is wrong?

There was one person who used to work hard and keep himself always  busy for his child future. After some time suddenly he got accident and died and whatever he left it became his child's property.

His child got into a bad association and used to keep intoxicated all the times, he never do anything for his family and society. 

His only concern was I have lot's of property, now why I should do anything,  instead I must enjoy.

His mother left him alone because of his bad habit and now he was fully free to enjoy whatever he want to. He just used to drink and sleep all the time and keep himself in completely bad association.

Slowly-slowly he started losing his money in his friends, and one day he see all his friends left him alone, saying, 'Now you don't have money what is the use of our friendship now.

There is a saying, पूत कपूत तो का धन संचय, पूत सपूत तो का धन संचय . If a child is foolish then what is the use of saving money for him and if a child is wise then what is the use of saving money.

A foolish child lose everything whatever he get, and a wise child create everything even he does not get anything.

So wise people invest his money for child's education not for his future. And right education is not only material education to just earn money but moral education as well. So, child can discriminate in good and bad things.

Learning Lessons from Mother Sumitra

In this world mother and child relationship is above all the relations. The foremost responsibility of a mother is to place her child in a proper Krishna Consciousness environment by which he/she becomes pure devotee of the Lord. Often mothers blame for their children, they are not behaving well and they don't respect them at all but the reason behind this is how much we are doing for them. Being a parent means to sacrifice for children. In modern age mother has no time to care of her children and think they can give all kinds of facilities by just giving money. And when the child grows up and by the time he/she do not get the association of mother and teachings they become free to do what they want to do. Mother means to care for her children what they need and give love and teach them how to love and respect others. And if we think we just send our children to schools/colleges and they will be perfect in all so they cannot. Its the duty of the mother to give valuable time ...

Laxmana - The Hidden Hero of Ramayana

In our previous post we have already mentioned Ramayna is not an ordinary story but a complete learning lesson from each & every characters. Laxmana is one of the character of Ramayana, who was completely hide himself to glorify from others, and away from honor and dishonor. Laxmana teaches us how to maintain character, competency, selfless service, and equal in both the situation either you are praised or you are abused. If you have fixed your aim, then there is no question of disturbance what people say to you.

Laxmana represents  who carry out Laxmi with him and serve Lord Rama by his good will. Laxmana always eager to serve Lord Rama, when Lord Rama was about to go for exile for fourteen years Laxmana immediately stood up & ready to go along with Lord Rama although he was not asked to go to exile. Laxmana took vow, he will not sleep for four...

TIT for TAT OR Tolerate That

Many of the times we go through situations where we get confused what to do now? According to our Vedic Scriptures we should keep three things in our mind and accordingly react or respond on situations. If you can change it: Situations comes in your life or brought by some people and you know if it is completely against our religious principle, then you must stand against it and try to change the situations. When Hauman Ji reached in Lanka and Lankini the guard of Lanka tried to stop Him and because it was against the religious principle as his own master kidnapped others wife, Hanuman Ji punched on her mouth by His left hand and move on. Same way if you have power and know things are going against Dharma, you should change the situations else you have to suffer sinful reactions of it. If you can not change it: Sometimes situations are completely against us and we are not even able to change it then that time we must accept the situation and try to tolerate it.  You don't believe...
