Passage 1

In English

EMBODIMENTS of the Divine Atma! From ancient times, the culture of Bharath has been upholding high ideals. Foremost among its teachings was the concept of reverence for the mother and the father as embodiments of the Divine. "Ma thru Dhevo Bhava! Pithru Dhevo Bhava!" (Esteem the mother as Divine, adore the father as Divine). Human life is indeed extremely sweet. Without this sweetness, life will be worthless. Man struggles in a myriad ways to secure sensual enjoyment, but there is sweetness which transcends these physical pleasures. This is the precious fruit of Bharatheeya culture.
