The Foundation of Family and Dharma

The foundation of dharma is the family, beginning with reverence for mother and father. Fulfilling this duty is the path to God. Children must emulate their parents, continuing the lineage through righteous marriage. To abandon this unity, to allow children to fall into vice, is to forsake our humanity. Even animals demonstrate loyalty, perishing when separated from their kin. If humans fail in this basic duty, they fall short of that natural standard. Upholding the family is the essence of being human.

"From the first time and at the end, first comes mother and father."

"If we humans cannot be there for our children, mothers and fathers, then it is great, very good."

O Gurudevajī, Kailāśa Virajanavāle, Oṁ Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jaya. Śrī Śrī Deveśvara Madheva Kī Jaya, Śrī Śrī Alakhpurīṣa Madheva Kī Jaya. Hindu Dharma Samrāṭ, Śrī Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān Kī Jaya. Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, Śrī Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī Gurudeva Kī Jaya. Satya Sanātana Dharma kī jai, Mātā-Pitā Gurudeva kī jai. Om śāntiḥ śāntiḥ. The last salutation taught is for our mother and our father. We worship; we are like brother and mother. So you understand, from the first time and at the end, first comes mother and father. This means we all worship, we work for our parents. So, mother and father. If we are good in that duty, we go to God. And so, after mother and father, come the children. For the children, it will be very good that they should be like the mother and the father. And they will get a child. So they should all go into the same marriage, everything. Not only that, but someone is married and then says no, and this, and this child. The child is drinking alcohol very much, and this and that, and the other doesn’t do like this, that, and children are others’ dhāras (bearers/support). Then we are not humans anymore, not humans. It is also said that many animals are the best and good when they are together. When that one child or this one animal dies, then the other, after a few days or one month or something, will also die. Because together, together. So if we humans cannot be there for our children, mothers and fathers, then it is great, very good. So, we are all good. Okay? Adió.
