Blessings , love , peace and harmony are always flowing continuously from God, Gods and Gurus to You and Your family.
This is a special message on this auspicious day Ponggal.
Please take time and read very carefully this message.
Please take it to your heart and implement it from now on.
Matha Pitha Guru Deivam.
As the saying goes , the first Guru and second Guru are the Parents. For those who are married and have children , please take note of that you are the examples for your children. Both of You must resolve and be faithful to each other. Lots of "affair" are going on at work. This affects the growth and development of the children.You can't hide from your children. They know and observe what is going on in the family. What you do at home and your behaviour , your children will follow and do in future. If you have to discuss anything, do it privately when your kids are asleep or not around. Get your relationship organized. "Give and Take " and "Resolving before Sleep " are important principles that you can practice and will help solve many of the problems in a family. Respect each other and don't put each other down in front of others. When both the parents are on good terms, that itself gives strength to the family and the community become strong. Those days marriage use to be" You listen to me and do it. don't question". it worked at that time because the women don't have much education and the husband was the bread winner. But now the marriage is more like a "Partnership". Discussion needs to take place before decisions are taken. When there is no discussions is going on, the silence will lead to divorce. Just so you know I'm not talking as a single man I have been married to a wonderful woman for the past almost 20 years and have 2 kids aged 13 and 10 this is not just my theory but what has worked to keep our marriage stable and happy for all these years. As you can see, the divorce rate is the high in our community.
Many of our parents are so focused on the education of their children that they are forgotten to educate and teach responsibility to them. Parents please take some serious action to put them to learn , Bharatanatyam , Sangeetam , Indian Music instrument , Yoga or Indian Martial. This will instil our culture in them and build confidence in them. This characteristic will be in them for life. Many parents stop this activity because of major exam. They forgotten that these activities improve their studies too. The life must be balanced between education – academic vocational and cultural activities - non academic vocational.Send the children for religious classes too so that they learn their own heritage. Parents , You are the first Gurus and You are the Pillar of Our community.
Many of our young people are very focus on career. That is very good. Life must be balance between Career and Spiritual Life. Spiritual life is not something that is very different or difficult to follow. Those are the life principles that build and develop yourself , personality and character. When you are fully aware of yourself , you will achieve success in your career business and whatever you undertake in this world. Spend time and learn about our heritage and religion. Take time and attend talks or classes that teach us the values that are found in our scriptures like Tirukural Tirumantiram Tiruvasagam Bhagavatgeetha Vedas Agamas Upanishads etc.Check out our blog for more on how to lead a spiritual life and at the same time lead our normal life http://arthadharma.blogspot.com/. All of us have 24 hours. You have to make up the time , time never wait for you.
Also noticing that our younger generation seems to be scared to get married because of divorce rate which is very high in our community. So they don't want to get married .Unnecessary problem to take on.Well true progress will happen only when you take on responsibility. You need to decide that if you don't want to get married , then you need to serve the God by spending your valuable time in serving community. since you have more time as compare with those who got married. Our future of our community depends on our younger people and children. If nobody wants to get married, very soon our Indian Community will in DLL category . Build your career your daily life and spiritual life together. They are some individuals are sacrificing their life for the development our culture music and dance to bring up our children who are the asset of our community.
I personally encourage everyone to take time and be grateful to God Gods and Gurus for what you have. I personally encourage everyone to take action to contribute you TIME and MONEY for the development of our children, young people and teenagers. Make a pledge to contribute whatever percentage you decide and do it every month. Choose where you want to contribute. If you need help , email to me artha.dharma@gmail.com and give you some suggestions. Don't worry about what other people or organization are not doing, what You do matters.
Matha Pitha Guru Deivam.
Pongal Valtukal
Om Shanti.
