Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 PRIYA BHAGAVAT BANDUVULLARA! VOICE OF THE RISHIS: 99 COURTESY: SHRI RAPARLA JANARADHANA RAO " SWASTHI PANDHAA MANUSARAAMA " RIGVEDA 5-11-7 " Let us all follow the ideal good path " . This Vedic text teaches us how important the life style of an individual should be from the point of view of the community. Let us follow the ideal path (swathi pandhaa). The ways of people that follow bear a deep impact on society. If a person may be a single individual, goes astray from the well chosen social laws binding a society. And leads a philistine way, it will have a deleterious effect on the society, and not merely on the individual. Hence every person has a social obligation in the discharge of his duties. If people in a society follow ideal ways, the society will be strong and the generations that follow will also be strong. The word " Swasti " in Sanskrit signifies more than the word good. It comes near to ideally good. Let people adopt the good ways' is a wish signifying the ideal state of the individual as well the community. In these days of drug addiction, sex, alcoholism, murder, rape, arson and other crimes, this Vedic text warns people, not to stray from good socials tenets which hold great importance.
