prayer verse

Today in temple heard the following verse being recited -

Kuputro jaayate kadapi kumata na bhavate

This means --There can be born a bad son, but there can never be a bad mother.

This got me thinking---
--How can some people be insensitive to their parents?
--Even in todays times, can there never be a bad mother? Probably yes, no mentally sane mother can think or do anything bad for her sons/daughters.

Today after a v long time i missed being fluent in sanskrit. when the beautiful prayer recital was going in the temple..

Why we disagree

Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda

A beautiful story by swami viekananda just says beautifully on how and why we disagree. It is very important that even though people may disgree they both may be right. How important it is to understand this basic truth..

Hinduism

Hindus welcome a new era of Self-realization and God-realization beyond the boundaries of dogma and institution, honoring all individuals, all cultures and all spiritual aspiration. Let us honor that Self in all beings regardless of religious affiliation, ethnicity or culture. This will not only lead us to a truly new millennium but also allow us to transcend time and karma altogether, which is the real goal of our eternal striving.

I will be devoting time in the coming time in trying to read about hinduism and get my thoughts on it..The hinduism i see around me..The religion beyong fanaticism,, I feel hinduism has been put in a bad light gloabally by india-pakistan conflicts, Ayodhya and few other things. The whole good gets ignored because of this....

A hindu goes to a gurudwara and prays and a sikh prays in a temple and the whole world wants to see these people as separate....we all are separate and as one..The beauty of hinduism is in its amazing sponge like absorbing power to absorb all influence..
