In our Vedantam, we never impose anything on anybody.
In the Bhagawad Geeta also, Lord Krishna taught Arjuna everything and then said, :-

“I have told you everything. Now, Yatechhasi tathaa kuru – You do as you please.”

  "READ CAREFULLY, WHAT SWAMI SIVANANDA SAYS" :

*All Members,
         *Respected family members of this great holy Nation.

The question of how to live the values of life is not a new one faced only in modern times. It is as old as our scriptures. This is a weakness that every person faces in his life - the contradiction between his knowledge and his living.

**VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE PRESENT DAY PARENTS : - to direct their children - Follow Sincerely :

Your child is not different from you and you are not different from your child. Therefore, what you are, your child will be. Now you have to decide what you want yourself to be and your child to be, because the choice is yours.

*** VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE PRESENT DAY TEACHERS :- to direct your students

A spiritual teacher plays a significant and indelible role in the life of a human being. If you are privileged enough to have such a teacher, you are assured of success in all spheres – worldly and spiritual.

SUB : - O YOUTH! O STUDENTS! READ THIS NOW -3.

REF :  - DRUG PREVENTION IS EASIER, CURE IS DIFFICULT.

Listen to Swami Sivananda :

3.WHAT LEADS TO DRUG ADDICTION?

1. Emotional. Insecurity, Lack of Love:

Nobody takes to drugs in order to become an addict. They are usually taken in order to escape from problems that are either real or imaginary. Lack of parental love at home, impaired and tense relationships between parents and dictatorial handling of children have been traced out as significant root causes.

2. Misuse of Money-Lack of Guidance:

Easy availability of and access to money are equally dangerous. They lead to habits such as cigarette-smoking the first step to drug addiction. The next stage, hash-smoking sets in easily. The 'culture mix' you belong to, will make you try more and more 'harmless' experiments. Proper guidance is required.

3. Curiosity of Experimentation is the most common cause.

4. Peer Pressure.

To be continued ...

Note :-

Practical application of the values explained in the Bhagwad Gita in our daily lives can be very rewarding.  When knowledge sinks in and is really absorbed, then it automatically comes into play in our life. There is no gap between knowledge and its practical application.

When knowledge is comprehended intellectually, but not assimilated or internalised,  then this contradiction becomes evident — I know something,  but do not know how to apply it to my life.

The Bhagwad Gita teaches us how to live with things, beings and experiences that we come across in our daily life. If we really understand what is taught,  we will be able to use it.
Knowledge is meant for practical use.  If it is not used, then such knowledge is useless for us.

It is said in the Gita: "Jnatva sastravidhanoktam karma kartumiharhasi" —

‘Having understood what is stated in the scriptures,  act accordingly. ’

The sentence appears simple; let us see its implications. All of us suffer in life at some time or other. There are many reasons for this, but one key factor is our thoughtless action. All of us know it.  The flip side of it is actionless thought,  when thought is there,  but no follow up in action.

OPINION :-

1. In Kerala, communists and Congress student unions with political support almost degraded the Teacher-Student relationship;

2. Today children have no "Guruthvam" which is highly regarded in Bharatham since ancient days, now parents aw well as students do not know the meaning of " Guruthvam"!

3. Literates, media, and the so called maths simply keep away from this delicate subject;

4. Money is regarded as divine in kerala with politics, to protect themselves from the laws of the land;

5. So for many education means not knowledge, but a sheet of paper, known as degree, graduation, post graduation, PhD and so on, these things are available in the market for money, so where is the need for education, then the question " knowledge" How much a kilo?
