AN IDEAL HUSBAND AND A RIGHTIOUS WIFE

AN IDEAL HUSBAND AND A RIGHTIOUS WIFE


According to ancient Indian philosophy ,Culture and  heritage  AN IDEAL HUSBAND AND A RIGHTIOUS WIFE (In Indian divine language i.e. in Sanskrit it is referred to as Uthmapurushan and Dharma Pathni) makes a perfect couple paving way for a healthy living and prosperous family. I find no reason and justification why this concept cannot be accepted and followed by ROW (No doubt many a country has begun to follow the system in a snail’s pace).The end result would be an ideal, prosperous, healthy and a unique family on its path to progress, prosperity and phenomenal growth.

A man (husband) has to lead and live a life filled with love, ethics, cleanliness, faith, trust, good understanding and care for the good cause and sake of his family. Have concern for each and every member of his family without discrimination and perform his duties with care and caution to reach the pinnacle of peace, prosperity and contentment Being the head of the family he is responsible and accountable for the overall development and growth of the family in an IDEAL manner. Ideal is a sober word with soft meanings and man has to remain sober and soft at all times during the course of his living.

The woman (wife) on the other hand is expected to assist the man in performance of his duties as mentioned above, apart from performing her duties in a rightful and righteous manner without causing even an iota of damages to the sentiments and thoughts of one and all in the family-herein ethics, love and divinity plays a vital role, to be borne in mind at all times.

As a matter of fact, wife plays a lead role in the well being and prosperity of the whole family (a traditionally accepted truth) but of course in necessity in consultation and consent of the husband as she is considered and accepted as Goddess of wealth and prosperity (known as MAHALASHMI) and by following the traditionally prescribed way of living (as mentioned above) nothing in the world can prevent her from attaining the prosperity and well being of the family. The husband being an ideal man should always extend his whole hearted support to the wife to achieve her ultimate goal for the welfare and well being of the family. In a nutshell it’s a team effort and work, mixed with ideal and righteous by the husband and wife.

How do you build and maintain an excellent future generation? The wife (mother for children) plays an important role in this respect. As a mother she holds more responsibility in bringing up the children in the right manner with high values of Love higher values of Ethics and highest values Living It should be begun at grass root level so that the edifice of moral values, ethical values, values of dignity, self respect, respect for others etc are instilled in the children from early child-hood itself. It’s not a short term assignment but a duty extends for long time, and at all times she seeks the man’s support and guidance, it must be extended and accorded with out a second thought. Righteous is a powerful word and to fulfill the powerful task the woman has to be righteously powerful to perform and fulfill her duties towards the family.

The relationship of man and woman (husband and wife) is so close knit if not handled with duty bound, devotion and dedication ,will loosen the close knit strings of relationship causing deterioration. Let the purpose of living together of man and woman be fulfilled the way it should be in accordance with the tradition, heritage and culture surrounded by ethics and elegance always and let man and woman together pave way for their own perfect living and to build an excellent and exciting future generation.

May God bless all couples and their children for an exciting and excellent living and future?

SPIRITUALITY NOW ON SALE

SPIRITUALITY NOW ON SALE: BE ON ALERT

Have you ever heard of this? Will you ever believe it? Yes it is indeed quite true-Spirituality is now available for buying and only the thing is its DESIRED EFFECTS and GOOD RESULTS are unguaranteed as these are suppressed and unrevealed to the prospective buyers. May be for many of the readers it sounds funny and unbelievable and for a few, it may not be even be acceptable-but one thing is sure, at the end of this reading you will agree with me and accept all the facts contained in this article to be accepted in its totality- Real scenario linked personal experience is the best master than what you hear otherwise and through other unreliable sources.

I had been keenly observing this sale trend for quite some time, under different attractive names, banners, terminologies etc and it truly appears that market is picking up very well globally. It will not be surprising that if some of these banners (with brand image & equity) might even opt for an IPO with premium to lure number of IDIOTS (I mean):-

Ignorant ones
Deluded ones
Innocent ones
Obstinate ones
Timid ones
Stagnant ones
It’s all just because people are loosing faith in themselves, their ability, capacity, strength, will power and confidence, instead relying on the so called spiritual Icons, may be called as spiritual vendors assisted by spiritual brokers.

While God worship is universally accepted by all faiths according to the faiths rituals and principles, it should not be misused under the banners and influence of spiritual icons & vendors. While one has every right to pray and worship God, it necessarily doesn’t require directions and instructions from spiritual vendors and brokers- herein I don’t deny spiritual guidance from right sources for gratis and not be traded for monitory gains from the seekers by those who guide . As a matter of fact seekers of spiritual guidance should approach the guidance providers on their own and what we see today is wide publicity from the so called spiritual leaders through print and visual media luring people to multiply their business and amass fortune. There is a saying and firm belief that at the appropriate time a true spiritual master will come to your life (need not be physically) rightly for guidance and teachings and one has to patiently wait and follow the right and righteous path of living, rather than wandering behind above referred icons..

Kindly be very clear in your mind. You have to worship and pray to yield benefit and if some one else does it on your behalf it will have zero effect- as you have to eat when you feel hungry and you have to drink water to quench your thirst and no one else can do these for you to satisfy your hunger and quench your thirst. For the so called spiritual leaders attracting and luring people, please bear in mind- it’s their way of living and lively hood and many of them make it so luxurious at the cost of spiritual seekers. Truly speaking and as per ancient writings and theories, spiritual knowledge and guidance is to be imparted to the seekers free of charge without anticipating anything in return and the seeker in turn has to render services to the master, upkeep of the hermitage and its surroundings. whereas in today’s scenario one has to cough up hefty sums to to the spiritual leaders and shell out in kind expensively. What an agony and innocence to the seeker and boon and gain to the so called spiritual leaders.

In ancient times, Rishis, Yogis & saints who used to impart spiritual guidance and teachings used to live in hermitage and lead a most simple life with barest minimum needs. On the contrary to-day the spiritual leader’s hermitages have been made with luxurious infrastructure with cozy and comfortable living and dining facilities with star ratings. The spiritual leaders being caught and booked under various offences and crimes, following unethical practices and misconduct, need not be emphasized as many of you must be reading through print media and watching through visual media of these happenings. These lots put us to shame and indignity-Think for a mom what a fate (we only can, jointly, change this trend not to grow any further.)

My dear friends every one of you, by the grace of God, have with in you lot of potential, initiative, drive, enthusiasm, energy and divinity embedded with in you when you came to this world and do not depend on some else to tap these to bring it out, Do it by yourself to bring out all these righteous qualities embedded in you and be a divine master by yourself one day and impart the values of spirituality free to the seekers. Let’s not encourage spirituality to become a tradable and marketable commodity.

My dear friends & readers BEWARE, AWARE and be CAUTIOUS and do not get trapped yourself into the spirituality buying stream in the name of learning and knowing spirituality-please do not try to buy what you have already within you , instead bring it out in the right manner and righteous way, and never ever try to BUY SPIRITUALITY.

This article is no way intended to hurt any ones sentiments or inner feelings and being written without any prejudice whatsoever.


May God be with you all, to protect, grace and bless you all always?
