Pitru Yajna - for parents and ancestors



 

                 It is our duty and moral responsibility to keep our parents and ancestors happy. Fulfilling their needs, caring for them and devoting time and most importantly, being the reason for their happiness, are our primary duties towards our parents. Today, we find quite a number of young people in a hurry to volunteer at old- age homes but find it difficult to take care of their parents. Family which is the basic unit of society has been playing a pivotal role in our country in sustaining our socio- cultural fabric intact. 

               We are less dependent  the government for welfare programs unlike the developed nations of the west. This is because our lives are entwined with those of our parents and the onus is on us to take care of the elderly and not sideline this as the responsibility of the establishment.
