Radhe Krishna To All,

 

On the occasion of Guru Poornima, kindly advise us on how parents can impart

good moral values to their children.

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

In days yonder, joint family system was in vogue. The elders in the house

imparted moral values to the younger generation that lived with them and made

them spiritually sound. The very family surroundings and the elders provided a

good learning environment for the children.

 

In today's fast-paced life, the joint-family system is no more prevalent. In

such a life-style, there are few opportunities to impart moral values to

children. But, whatever is implanted in the hearts of the little ones remain

with them until the end. It is the values that are taught to children that keep

them on the right path. Even if the surroundings and situations may distract the

youth from his right path, he will eventually come back to the right track,

thanks to the values he had imbibed in his childhood.

 

So it is the responsibility of the parents to inculcate good values in the

youngsters right from childhood. They should tell them the stories of great

Mahans like Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Ramana Maharshi, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and

so on. They should include them in all the religious and spiritual activities

that they conduct and participate in.

 

They should always pray to the Guru for their children.

 

Regards
