Guest guest Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 PRIYA BHAGAVAT BANDUVULLARA! VOICE OF THE RISHIS: 71 COURTESY: SHRI RAPARLA JANARADHANA RAO " BHAVAA SUNEETHIHI " -RIGVEDA 6-47-7 " May you be (bhava) a person of good morals (suneethi) " . This great Vedic exhortation inspiring man to possess high morals in life is a timeless and eternal teaching on the importance of ethical values in life. A nation with its people, observing high ethical standards in their daily life, flourishes and exists long. On the other hand world history offers us lessons, how vast, great kingdoms of the world that once created history, disintegrating lack pack of cards because of its feet of clay. The Achilles heel lay in the immoral people leading to the inevitable fall from its glorious heights. History is replete with instances of kingdoms razed to the ground, as the rulers led lives of abysmal indulgence. This Vedic adage " May you keep up your morals " is relevant not only relevant rulers, statesman and politicians but also to the individual, as it is only, the individual that forms the nation. People with disciplined orderly lives, following doctrines of ethics, or state laws, form a boon to the nation leading to its glory and continued existence. It may be seen that this Vedic saying is also equivalent to every mother's exhortation to her children to follow morals. No mother would feel happy to find her children following immoral ways. Hence Vedas are also termed as Vedic Mother (Veda Matha) giving worthy guidelines leading towards a glorious life of her children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
