Radhekrishna to one and all!

We wish all our Readers a very happy Independence Day! We are celebrating the 60th year of Independence this year! Bharath Maata ki jai!!

Coming to our topic, we mentioned some features of the Hindu dharma in our previous post. We will continue the same in this post. Let us take a look at a few shlokas from our Hindu scriptures related to Aachaaraas or customs:


Achaaryaath paadam aadatthe
paadam sishya swamedhyaa
paadam sa brahmachaaribhya
sesham kaala kramena cha

Meaning:

This is an important advice given in the smruthies. It means a person can get only one quarter of knowledge from Achaarya – the teacher, another quarter by analyzing the self, one quarter by discussing with others and the last quarter during the process of living by method addition, deletion, correction and modification or already known aachaaraas or new aachaaraas.

Aachaaraath labhathe hi ayu:
Aachaaraath dhanamakshayam
Aachaaraath labhathe suprajaa:
Aachaaro abhyanthya lakshanam

Meaning:

Aachaaraas are followed for the psychological and physiological health and long life; Aachaaraas are followed for prosperity and wealth; Aachaaraas are followed for strong family and social bondage and following the Aachaaraas give a fine personality, dharmic outlook and vision, says our Dharmasaastra.

In India, everyone followed Aachaaraas for the above mentioned psychological, physiological, family relation, social benefits and national integration based benefits. It is your right and duty to understand scientifically, rationally and logically the meaning of each and every Aachaaraas and follow the same in your life systematically.

Section II: Information about Indian herbs

Let us know about the herb called as Akol, known as sage-leaved Alangium (Alangium Lamarki) in Latin.

1. It is a large tree, the fruit of which resembles a rose apple
2. Insipid in taste it is an antidote for opium
3. It is also a remedy for infantile tuberculosis

That concludes our post for the forthnight. Till the next post, keep chanting the holy name Radhekrishna Radhekrishna, Radhekrishna….

Sarvam Guruvaarpanam
