Sage of Kanchi –
Pranams at the lotus feet
of Sri Paramacharya !
Sri Paramacharya highly
speaks about the indisputable truth, that women are the beacon for
righteousness, our scriptures and Veda highly admire the contributions of a
woman in various Dharmic rites, woman is the initiator to all fire sacrifices,
she protects the family rituals with her attentiveness, dedication and faith,
she is over and over compares with the Mother Universe for her forbearance,
mental strength and physical abilities. Her husband
shares equal half of the results of her sinful deeds, in the same manner she
would be the beneficiary of half of the pious deeds of her husband. A woman in the
family holds vital position in carrying out all the Dharmic rites, she should have
thorough knowledge of her family traditions, rites and customs, and so that she
can pass it on to younger generation and in this way the family traditions can
be kept intact. Families where women are treated with respect
and kindness will be the permanent dwelling place of Goddess Durga, Goddess
Lakshmi, and Goddess Saraswathi, even the five essential elements would wait for her
command. Acharya was a walking University, he kept
travelling from one place to another by foot and seldom in the palanquin, so
that he can educate the people of remote villages like a mother who affectionately
feed her bosom milk to her child; he was always concerned about the well-being of his attendants while moving through the toughest routes from villages to villages, those days devotion
to preceptor was intense and pure.
Acharya’s compassionate grace was enough to cure the distress and afflictions
of the people; wherever he goes a large crowd would be patiently waiting
to get a glimpse of this Godly saint.
