CULTURE

Culture is nothing but the rules and regulations that are to be followed as a human being. There are many Religions in this World and especially in India. Culture is the base for all religions. These are those rules which our Rishis found out after years of meditation. By their continuous effort through meditation & chanting of Mantras they were enlightened. With this special vision they saw the use of these rituals and they preached us what they got after many years. Since in those days people were more inclined towards religion and followed all rules strictly our Rishis preached these with the base of Dharma. Might be they thought since people are afraid of God and doing sins it is better to preach with the base of Dharma, so that people will not move away from it even in their dreams. But as the time changed the way people lead their lives changed and their way of thinking also changed. People started moving away from Dharma slowly. They started violating the rules one by one. Since the work done by man changed they could not find time to follow all the rituals and today the time has come where many people even are unaware of these basic rituals. It has gone so further that we do not believe in that. We believe it only when it is said by outsiders. In many cases the situation is people follow some of the rituals but do not know the importance of it. Since they do not know the importance they don't explain it to their children and this continuous from generation to generation. But now the generation is such that they don't believe until they are proved scientifically. So here I have tried my best to convey the scientific reasons for some of the basic rituals. Below are some of them.

Its surprising and glad to see your post on my grand father's works. Pls note that my home no. is 0821-2422550. All of my grand-father's works are in Kanadda except the book "Hindu Marriage" which is published in English.

Hari om,

Good collection of the information. Hope all the readers of the blog get the authors books and get the real knowledge which can open their eyes(inner).
I have also heard that there are still many books to be published by that author but are held due to monetary problem. Anyone interested can contribute.
