HOW TO BRING UP HINDU KIDS?

Dear SELF, Almost all of us have one or more kids. Until the age of school living (18) the kids spend most of their time with parents especially with Mother. We all tend to try to teach Hinduism in so many ways by various dedicated souls away from our Home. As they spend much of their time with us we need to be an example for them the way we think, we speak and act and we should be the best example for them to learn from us. Hinduism believes in the concept of reincarnation. What determines the state of an individual in the next existence is karma which refers to the actions undertaken by the body and the mind. In order to achieve good karma it is important to live life according to dharma. This involves doing what is right for the individual, the family, the community and also for the universe itself. Dharma is like a cosmic norm and if one goes against the norm it can result in bad karma. So, dharma affects the future according to the karma accumulated. Therefore, one's dharmic path in the next life is determined by their past karma. THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN HUMAN LIFE ARE DHARMA-KARMA. Please click the link below to know more about KARMA-DHARMA http://www.culture-4-travel.com/what-is-karma.html We all must ask ourselves how many of us are living Hindu way for our kids to follow us?

SANATANA DHARMA (HINDUISM)

Dear SELF, We, humans are considered as the highest order in the Creation out of about 84 lacks of species in this wonderful Creation. But do we know why is that? Very few of us might know some of it but not fully to understand and to behave like what we really are and by knowing this truth we do not need to born in any form and we can merge where we came from to start with which is the ultimate aim of this rare human birth.

Please click the link below to know about what is Sanatana Dharma? in the simplest manner

http://veda.wikidot.com/sanatana-dharma

Most of us know very little about anything but we act as though we know everything and boast ourselves which is rather sad. For those of us who are beginning to know and also the present day youth, our children and grand children who are almost unaware of this world's oldest phenomenon which applies to all humans around the world irrespective of where one was born, where one lives for lively hood and for various other reasons living away from our Motherland. For these souls, please click the link below to read to grasp about this universal phenomenon.

http://www.bnaiyer.com/Basic-Study/vidya-bharathi.html

The other most important thing we humans MUST do is to observe what we know daily with THOUGHT, WORD & DEED- which is MANASA, VACHA & KARMANA which is commonly known as TRIKARANA SUDHI-which are 3 phenomenon which we need to do for any planning in our daily life but how many of us really perform this , almost NIL!

But there is a real boon for TELUGUS to understand in the clearest possible way to understand easily to put in practice in our daily life which we can teach sincerely to our children & grand children and to show them we are an ideal example for them by practicing ourselves. Please click the link below to listen in TELUGU WHICH WAS GIFTED IN THIS NEW YEAR BY A NATURALLY GIFTED SOUL WHOM i CONSIDER AS AN IDEAL HUMAN TO WHOM I PRAY EVERYDAY AS MY GURU in 7 parts and lasts about 5 hours and 54 minutes of our precious time which we listened last night before going to bed and thought all Telugus should listen and try to put into practice as much as possible as soon as possible as the whole world may collapse in a fraction of a second without any notice at any time and this is the reality we all need to live our daily life.

Mantra which will bestow on the chanter the Highest Bliss of Existence.

Great God, Mahadeva; may that Rudra impel us to do so. This is the Rudra Gayatri Mantra.

I bow down to that three-eyed Lord Siva, who is full of sweet fragrance, who nourishes the
human beings. May He free me from the bondage of Samsara and death, just as a ripe cucumber
fruit is separated from the creeper. May I be fixed in Immortality! This is the Maha-Mrityunjaya
Mantra.
