In English
What was the nature of convocation in olden days? After completing their studies, the pupils made appropriate offerings to the preceptor and prayed for his parting advice. Then, the preceptor used to advise them, “My children, now you are ready to go back to your families. Support your parents, get married and lead a righteous life.” What is the state of affairs today? When children get back home from the educational institutions, they do not treat their parents properly. But the parents still take care of their children, putting up with all their misbehavior. Modern students do not have even an iota of our culture. What a sacred tradition it is! (May the entire world enjoy bliss) is the prayer that our culture enjoins us to utter each day.
