Janma Geet

It is my fervent desire to publish this book as a gift to all Hindus to remind them of the importance of the human birth. As Shri Ramchandra said in Ramayan, we must use this form or body to allow ourselves to become better individuals, follow and uphold the principles of Dharma, so that we can be assured of salvation in the hereafter.

Padma Purana states that Dharma proceeds from continence, truthfulness, austerity, charity, self-control, forbearance, purity, non-violence, serenity and non stealing. These are the ten factors of Dharma. According to this Purana, bestowing gifts on deserving persons, fixing one's thoughts on God, adoration of one's parents, offering a portion of one's daily meal to all creatures and giving a morsel of food to a cow, are some characteristics of Dharma.

Respect to the parents and service to the parents are essential parts of the Hindu religion. If you do not take care of your parents and proceed to take care of the whole village, no virtue accrues to you.

Matri Devo Bhava - Mother is God

Pitri Devo Bhava - Father is God

Acharya Devo Bhava - Teacher is God

So say the scriptures.

God is all pervading and omnipresent. There is no place without the presence of God. But there are some special places, which have His special presence. This can be relative to the place, time or person. That is why a place of pilgrimage, a river, a temple, an auspicious day are very sacred and important for the spiritual upliftment of a soul. So is the presence of God - that special presence which is in your parents, which has been the karmic cause of your birth in the world and in that family. Hence, it is sacred for you. It is special for you.

It is immaterial whether your father has human weakness or mother has limitations or failings. The luminous presence of God in them will be pleased if you do your duty and serve them with unflinching devotion. Many a father, who has been a drunkard or a gambler, has changed his entire lifestyle, because of the loving adoration of his child. God blesses that family and brings peace and happiness to them.

Hindu scriptures give abundant examples of such loving and devoted children, as Sri Ram, Sri Bharath, Sri Lakshman, Arjun, Bhimsen, Bhishma, Nachiketa and others.
