Social behavior : reality vs scriptures

[Guest guest]

Namo Narayana!

 

I am writing from Saudi Arabia where I spend

half my time and other half in Madras. I am a

Tamil Iyengar.

 

I am studying our scriptures so that I may

get a correct idea about the philosphy and

doctrine of our Dharma and work my way to

Moksha. I have started with advaitin and with-

Baghvat Kainkarya Roopam - Grace of Lord, will

get to learn VishistAdwaitam also in the same

way.

 

I have a question for our community. If there

is a member of the community and, he or she or

they together, violate some basic human

obligations, then what we as a community should

do?

 

It can be a) Keep quiet and behave as if we do

not know b) Take note of it analyse and make

rules for future, for approved communal behavior

c) Intercept the problem and help find a solution

amicably.

 

The reason for this question is that I have just

come to know about a Young Iyengar Girl landing

up in Boston -USA this week on a dependent O3

Visa and her husbund refusing to meet her and

provide for her. They were married in January

this year in a week's notice and then she went

with in-laws and the boy to Dubai. The boy left

for US after a week and then she stayed with

her in-laws in Dubai for 2 months. Then she went

to Madras to pick up her Visa which she did. Her

husbund is a MD and alsoa PHD in Nurology. She

is a ME. How can such things happen in our educated

middle-class community. What will happen to our

society if these things continue?

 

If any one wants to know the details or e-mails

of the affected parties please send me a personal

e-mail as I do not want to bother the whole list.

 

 

But this question of difference between what we are

learning as good and how the world works in real

life, is troubling me and I hope to read your

reactions.

 

Pranams.
