Guest guest Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 PRIYA BHAGAVAT BANDUVULLARA! VOICE OF THE RISHIS: 56 COURTESY: SHRI RAPARLA JANARADHANA RAO NA ASLEELAM KEERTAYET --YAJURVEDA SWADHYAYA BRAHAMANAM " Speak no evil words " is the dictum which is of eternal and universal importance. To speak ill of others is to suffer from an ego problem, and want of proper understanding or empathy towards other's point of view. It is a basic social attitude that one should cultivate assiduously. We get ready to criticize others, with several outbursts of temper, we make during our conversations. Here's a warning. `Na Asleelam Keerayet'. " Never resort to deriding others " . This is important in the modern life and Yajurveda centuries ago, ordains that we should always exercise a control over our tongue. We come across modern terms " loudmouthed " , " foul mouthed " , " Wagging tongue " , " Word bites " , blasphemous " words from a radical a maverick. And in support of this ancient addict, we have several quotes in " Satyam brooyath, Priyam Brooyath, Na Broooyath Satyam apriyam (Never say truth unpleasantly). " Speak truth but speak sweetly " . Anudwega Karam Vaakyam Satyam Priya Hitamchayet " , in Gita Lord Krishna advises us that our words be " free from emotional outbursts (anudvegakaram) truthful (Satyam) and polite and Sweet (Priyahitamchayat)—it is out experience that a single slip of tongue, a blurt a prattle leads to several social troubles. Dale Carnegie in his world famous books " The Art of Public Speaking " and " How to Win Friends " emphasizes this controlled and careful expression in our social life.
