SURYAKSHETRA- 76

Hindu Religious Festivals – Spiritual Medication & Healthy Family, Social life

What this little man speaks…

In Hindu religious system different festivals are observed at different intervals in a year, like when agricultural produce reach home; when season changes; when people are at free time; when plantations take place; and so on. The festivals are so designed in a scientific manner that they do not interfere in normal routine but exclusively help people to gear up themselves instead of making them idle. Some creative activity is pumped and as a result an opportunity is created for different people or people in a particular family to join and share their views and experiences. This has created a healthy atmosphere and bringing a kind of oneness into the families and into the society too. Elders are respected at such meeting occasions and their contributions to the society are praised.

Besides this, the masters are respected and their efforts are taking into cognizance so that the children and boys continue to respect their teachers to gain knowledge. In Festivals like Radha Saptami, Vinayak Chaturdhi – holy herbal bath has become part and parcel of the worship. For that matter even Dasara (Dasa Hara) and Deepaavali are also of spiritual medicated values only. The Makara Sankranti festival is celebrated when produce reach home. Thus by and large each festival is designed in such a manner that it helps to develop a KIND OF ONENESS and helps the people to upkeep their health. Each festival is being examined at each different place in the country to find out the motive of the ancient people. Though it is a big exercise, an effort is being put forth so that this can continue further through such of those like-minded persons who can spare their time and energy in future.

In some other foreign countries where such systems are not observed, when the matter is examined, we have noticed people – particularly the younger generation with different psychological ailments causing damage to the society and alarming themselves as anti social elements. It is mostly due to the reason that they have no caretaker in times of their need. In a Hindu system, either the religious head or the grand fathers in the joint family system were readily available to the young. Some counseling was immediately available to the mentally ill person so as to enable him to regain his normal strength. The absence of joint family system due to various socio-economic factors has already started contributing to the Indian Society in an adverse manner due to various anti social groups coming up and threatening the peace loving nature.

In the recent days films are being produced abusing the teacher and making the teacher a laughing stock. Either the teacher misbehaves with the students or the students make fun of the teacher. This is on increase and cheap humor is going to cost the society heavily over a period of time. The responsible parents should take some steps in the best interest of their school/college going children. A student who does not care his teacher, how he can gain knowledge and what is that he is going to achieve through his studies?

Animals are highly sensitive and they possess reasonable knowledge for their peaceful existence. They know what to eat, when and where to rest and where to give birth to their generations. Even plant life indicates super natural powers of plants to sense a human brain and this is according to a recent scientific study. Now IS IT THE APPROPRIATE TIME FOR US TO THINK OUR STAND BEFORE ANIMALS AND HIGHLY SENSITIVE PLANTS. IN THE CONTEXT OF ACQUIRING KNOWLEDGE ARE WE HARMFUL TO OURSELVES ……………?
