Glimpse of Authentic Indian culture and traditions. ( અધિકૃત ભારતીય સંસ્કૃતિ અને પરંપરાઓની ઝલક)

Do technology and telecommunication lowering down the sacraments and traditions in toddlers and adolescents?

We all know about global increment based on technology & development, along with it we are too, developing ourselves. Moreover, it is undeniable that it should get to its peak. However, somewhere and somehow it feels like as the pages of the calendar change and years pass, our beautiful traditions of India and authentic customs, sacraments get extinct. It is nearly 75 years since India got independent or Britishers pushed back to their native place, but their thoughts and rules, rituals are still living in our motherland. We should forget those (riti/ rivaj). In fact, we are living with them and teaching our loved ones to follow. The sacraments (sanskar) & culture which India used to follow and practice in prehistoric times (before the British came to India); The festivals which have been celebrated in those eras have expired.

This 21st century has overwhelming inventions of every problem but some of them are depleting our knowledge of Indian divinity. eg: we can observe adolescents today, they live in the world of social media, the internet, and mobile phones. In ancient years, the very first thing a child learned was how to speak Mummy or Papa and take their life's first baby steps, which was the greatest joyful moment of their parents, whereas now they learn how to chat with someone or use social media, and watch videos on YouTube. They are unaware of our Indian divine books which we call "ગ્રંથ", religion, the glamour of Indian festivals.

People nowadays don't celebrate the festival by meeting each other or by gathering and enjoying themselves. They find their joy and go for a trip to the countryside or resort, for their self leisure, not by celebrating it with their relatives, peers, families. As in Diwali, it is the festival of lights and conjugations of people, where there are delightful get-to gatherings, people take gifts and sweets to one's peer's home and elate. Likewise plenty of reasons which is a fact that slowly and subsequently Indian customs will be diminished.

This depletion of our customs can be prevented if parents spread awareness to their children. Instead of giving them a machine to learn, give them the real knowledge of books, that we are having, teach them customs and sacraments of our great volume Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. (" Our Indian Holy books are more famous in western countries than in India). They would be knowing the invention of the airplane by the Wright Brothers. However, they must not be knowing that it was first invented in India. The car which we say autopilot today is also mentioned in those books, but not as a car, it was an airplane, which is also called "pushpak viman" which was operated directly by the brain. Apart from this, there are plenty of things we should know about our ancestors.

In our knowledge, we see them as gods and think that they have that kind of extreme powers, which make them do this. But think in another way that they were scientists and from where and how they got such great power. In addition, we don't have to research anything to get to those ancient teachings, they have already been written in the books we just have to refer to them. One of the books which give the complete detail of our body related problems and exercise, eight fundamental stages of human life and body which if one truly follows can get incredible abilities we can't even imagine. This is called Ashtanga yoga, it has eight stages which we should follow in life: Yam, Niyam, Aasan, Pranayam, Pratyahar, Dharana, Dhyan, and Samadhi. This should be practiced in kindergarten and schools. Teach them how to speak the truth and let them face the situation. Introduce them to our rituals and customs. If this is taught to them at this age then there is no need to make them learn the education they will get the habit of reading and learning.

India is the only country which has a great number of and kind of scientists (God). Even though we are still developing. Let's unite together and make our India, "The India".

After all, we are the children of very powerful nature energy (we say, God). Who can maintain the entire world with their qualified spirit
