Keep your child rooted in the soil of culture

We live in the digital world, where our career is more important than anything in our life. We too want to be with our family whenever possible. Festivals give us this opportunity to be with our beloved ones. Festivals give us chance to relive the old days. We must accept this fact that we lived our childhood much better than our children. We had our grandparents and our extended family with us to teach us the rituals and make us understand our culture. 

            Festivals play an important role when it comes to understanding our traditions and culture. But do we really know the adverse effect of changing lifestyle and progressive mind-set on our next generation? They are going away from their roots. Our life should be like trees, rather we should live it like trees. 
            No matter how much our branches grow in various directions but we should be rooted deep down in the soil because that is the place where we belong.

In nurturing children, we should make sure that we are giving them the gift of values and ethics. We are teaching them to be more modern but we should give them the sense of being more cultured. We cannot make them sit and tell them the meaning behind every festival, and each tradition but we can make them see the rituals we follow through our behavior. 

            As a parent, it is our responsibility to raise the cultured and mannered citizen of our country, after all they are the future of our country. Make sure that you do the things daily at home which will impact their mind and soul ( It could be reciting shubham karoti, ram raksha, or lightening of diyas, celebrating each and every festival by following the right rituals) so they will be able to follow your footprints in the journey of their life.
