Is anyone aware who is responsible for this situation??
Earlier we used to do poojas from amavasya tharpanam to vrathams with vadhiyar. Now in many houses we have replaced this custom with CDs and viradha Pooja books.
Yes. Many of us spend so much money giving thamboolam just to prove our status. Without giving bramana dhanam vratam is not completed.
Dharmam
We have to take a vow that we should not bargain with vaideegas
Dharmam
Giving Respect to Vaidheegas, doing Pujas and Homams at home with Vadyar and as many vaidheegas as possible, Dhadyaradhanam and offering them good dakshina and vastram wholeheartedly are utmost duties of everyone. Even if we do it by ourselves at home for some reason, dakshina should be offered to some vaidheega later. .
Dharmam
Even when we go to temples rather than putting money in hundi (which normally goes to goverment and then being used by politicians for various purposes), we have to offer more money to Archakas who is doing kainkaryam as per varnasrama dharma
Dharmam
Brahmana dharmam is doing vaidheegam only. When Brahmanas by birth do so many things (doing other varnasrama dharma works) other than vaidheegam, then at least, they have to take care of Vaidheegas well as per other varnasrama dharmam
Dharmam
கலியுகத்தில் குறைந்தபட்சம் வாய்மையே பேசுதல் என்ற ஒரு தர்மத்தையாவது அனைவரும் விடாமல் கடைப்பிடித்தாலே பாதி குழப்பங்கள் குறையும். With "so what attitude" - வீண்புகழ்ச்சி, to escape from something, to hide something and காரண காரியமே இல்லாமல் பொய் பேசுதல் கூட ரொம்பவும் சகஜமாகி விட்டது.
When there is no contradiction between our thinking, speaking and doing, we can experience a kind of peace within us.
Raising our children according to our culture from childhood
01/
Respect
Children should be taught to pay respects to our Acharyas and elders.
02/
Sandhyavandhanam, Shlokas and Songs
Make the boys do sandhi or at a minimum Gayatri mantra chanting daily as per varnasrama dharma after upanayanam (which is good for them as well as for lokakshema) and girls chant slokas and sing devotional songs.
03/
Festivals and Functions
Involve them in festival celebrations and functions so that they understand its significance, get to know the procedures.
04/
Truthfulness, Helping Nature, Hospitality, Tolerance
Inculcate basic good habits in them like Giving importance to others feelings, Gaining happiness by making others happy by means of helping, sharing wealth and knowledge without pride, hospitality, minimum tolerance, being truthful, etc...
If we gradually inculcate these things in our children from childhood, then it will help shape their overall personality and these habits will staty for the lifetime.
05/
Awareness
First Parents have to ensure the following and then make their Children also
Be Aware of our own Guru Parampara and trust them since they are our well-wishers
Beware of New Gurus/Spiritual leaders who make us feel that they are better than our Gurus and Bhagavan too and whose philosophies contradict with our Sanatana Dharma.
