Where are we erring?
Dr. Santosh, a highly intelligent individual, has made a remarkable transition from being an Ayurvedic doctor to a revered Swamiji. Hailing originally from Shimoga, he now runs the esteemed Ayur Ashram in Bangalore, where he manufactures and sells authentic Ayurvedic products.
As a devout follower of Brahmanism, Dr. Santosh has left a heartfelt message for the community, urging all Brahmins to come forward and contribute to the growth and preservation of their heritage. He emphasises the importance of upholding their traditions while also empowering underprivileged Brahmins to improve their socio-economic standing.
Who has to do the development of our ancient tradition?
The Brahmin community's lack of unity stems from its unique characteristics. Given the community's high literacy rates and analytical prowess, the solution is straightforward. To foster a stronger sense of unity and identity, EVERY FAMILY should:
- Encourage children to study the Vedas alongside their regular curriculum.
- Educate children on the significance and sanctity of Brahmanism.
- Prioritise devotional and religious performances, ensuring they are never skipped.
- Engage in community activities and involve children in them.
It is essential to focus on these core values, even if it means sacrificing other extracurricular activities like karate, judo, or drawing. Most important is that we should put a cap on accumulation of wealth.
Rethink your priorities, and you will eventually realise that accumulating wealth serves no meaningful purpose. In fact, this accumulation can have detrimental effects on your children, fostering laziness and incompetence. Moreover, it may encourage them to take reckless risks in financial matters, ultimately leading to unstable and insecure lives. By reevaluating your values and focusing on spiritual growth, you can create a more lasting legacy for your children. Ultimately, this shift in perspective will bring greater fulfillment and harmony to your family.
