FROM THE BLESSINGS OF H.H. SHRI
GADIWALA ‘WOMAN CAN DO WHAT
SHE DETERMINES’
- Compiled by Kotak Varsha Natvarlal,
Ghodasar)
Before marriage a girl remains under the
parental care of her father; and after marriage
she remains under the care and directions of
her husband and yet the whole atmosphere
of home depends upon woman. An
unmarried girl dreams and imagines so many
things about her marriage life. But when the
circumstances are found quite different than
what she has thought about, she adjusts
herself as per the circumstances and adopts
herself accordingly. Thus, she has the
capacity to adjust, adaptability to any
situation and circumstances. Thus, there are
so many things in the hands of a girl or
woman. She takes birth to a child, she cares
and brings up the child and inculcates good
qualities and virtues in the child right from the
early age. Every mother wants her child to be
happy. Now what is real happiness for the
child? The answer is that, a mother should
bring up her child in a such a way that he gets
emancipation in this life and he does not have
to take birth again.

So Samskaras are the real wealth. A seed
which you sow in the fertile land is a dry seed.
But then also you are confident about what
you are sowing and what you are going to
reap as a crop. Similarly, you will find your
child as a man by virtue of Samskaras you
give to him. It will do if you do not give your
child wealth and money but if you would have
inculcated Samskaras in him then that child
as a grown up man will earn money on the
basis of the noble qualities and Samskaras.
Therefore, it is essential to ensure that, your
children are leading a righteous path in their
life. Teenagers of the age group of 14-19
years are curious to know so many things and
this is the crucial period of their life and
therefore, parents should be more vigilant
and should take extra care in such a period
and should give them real understanding

about this world as well as the spiritual
world. It is necessary to guide them
appropriately and help them understand
what is right and what is wrong. Why the
parents do not fulfil all the demands of
children when they are very young?
Because it will spoil their child. Thus, the role
of parents for their children is like Guru and
whenever they try to remember their Guru,
they should remember their parents. So a
woman can become an ideal because
woman can do anything as such capacity is
granted by Bhagwan to the woman.

KATHA-VARTA SHRAVAN
- Sankhya Yogi Kokilaba, Ushaba
(Surendranagar)
Tulsidasji has said that, one should listen
to Katha in order to control one’s own mind.
“sLkLke sLkf çktÄw Mkwík Ëkhk,
íkLkw ÄLkw ¼ðLk MkwnËT Ãkrhðkhk,
Mkçkfu {{íkk íkkøkk çkxkuhe,
{{ ÃkË {Lkrn çkktÄe çkhe zkuhe.”
In the great scripture ‘Ramayana’
Tulsidasji has said that, if one keeps ardent
faith and affection towards Bhagwan, he
would get ardent love and affection from
Bhagwan and ultimately he would also get
Bhagwan. So listening to Katha is the best
means to get rid of all worldly bondages.
When a person starts performing Darshan of
Bhagwan in his dream it is called ‘Sadharan
Darshan’. Then he starts performing
Darshan of Bhagwan in temple and in the
idol images of the deities. This is called
‘Madhyam Darshan’. And then he starts
performing Darshan of Bhagwan directly.
This is called ‘Uttam Darshan’. Then he
starts performing Darshan of Bhagwan in all
the things, birds, animals and human beings
