Dear all The world is going at a fast pace .we declare we r modern but as an elderly person what alarms me most is levels of stress and insecurity which has risen among the people . I feel very sad and dismayed to follow kamal hasans career graph . Long ago we visited his family at their eldams road residence .his mama shri jaganathan and my fatherinlaw were colleagues in the IB . His mother a very beautiful saintly iyengar lady who was quite ill replied to my fatherinlaw s query in a shocking way He told her to get him.married and her reply I don't want to spoil a girls life .he has very different views . This callous statement about ur own son set me thinking of parenting . Religion teaches us how to live and teaches us to endure rejection sufferings and gives us strength to deal with life Our Hindu religion is not a religion it is a way of life .The Muslim religious teachings are praiseworthy as they stress on protecting the women .the meher system and the widow remarriage and the dowry system is very well organised. Christianity we know teaches us about peace love and and endurance . It is terrible to note how all these teachings who give us the ability to commune with our inner strength has been reduced to rituals and blind fundamentalism . The Sikhs r the ideal bridge of spiritualty which has combined all faiths in their guru Grantha saab. We have the so called gutless broadminded Hindus condemning their religion. I feel very sorry for them . They have not understood the ancient texts and fail to understand the strength it gives us .it is a pathetic bid to gain popularity with the other faiths ,believe me no one is going to respect u . Family and parents have a vital role to play moulding a child's life during the formative years . Let us not confuse rituals and caste based blind orthodoxy with religion .Rituals r personal belief systems . We have raja ram.mohan Roy and rabindranath tagore who started the brahma samaj . We have dayananda saraswathi who started the arya samaj .life should be based on efforts regularity and discipline. Secularism is a misunderstood term only applies to Hindus. The other faiths merrily continue their lives . Kamal hasan is a brilliant actor has reduced himself to a puppet and feel very sad for himI guess the orthodoxy put him of . Hatred and condemning and using prejudiced statements never give us a status . The Hindus have their sanathana dharma which tells us about our different duties stresses on the fact life is temporary .It is not the fault of the religion we have become buffoons and object of derision . It is the duty of every parent to instill religious spiritual values and encourage their children to pray be friendly be equal and relaxed that is all.Do ur best and leave it to the God to do the rest .The Hindus revere all the natural elements and express thanks giving .the fact it is been reduced to a money making pathetic circus .is not the fault of the religion. my humble appeal don't expose ur children to blind superstition rituals and black magic and stupid orthodoxy and term it religion . Don't overprotect them .teach them to be good strong human beings .learn to be a good human being and the kids will follow Regards jayshree venkatraman Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
