Youth Should Not Let Themselves Be Bid For Dowry-Bapu

Bapu Chinmayananda, Shiv Puran

Sagar Watch/ On the sixth day of Shri Shiv Mahapuran Katha, Bapu Chinmayanand narrated the story of the farewell incident of Mother Parvati.

While speaking on the dowry system during the story, he said that there are some people in the society who do not have confidence in their muscle power. 

Instead of doing anything with their muscle power, they are simply selling their children in the society and collecting lakhs of rupees as dowry from the daughter's family during their marriage.

Bapuji urged the daughters to never marry in such houses which are full of greed and which rob their fathers by demanding dowry. Never accept such a groom. He said that relationships built with money do not last long.

Bapu also appealed to the youth to earn money with their muscle power and to give the message of their duty and karma to those whose daughter they marry, and not to let their family members do their bidding.

In this sequence, he narrated the story of the appearance of Shiva-Pavatis' sons Kartikeya and Ganesha. Also advised to learn from the lives of both of them to protect religion and use wisdom and prudence in life. He said that tomorrow this Katha-event will be concluded with the story of the twelve Jyotirlingas.
