Father- A non thankful Role

Hi Friends,
Today I want to bring a topic which i was thinking of putting to discussion from long time. Whenever you ask anybody everybody talks about mothers love, her hardships etc. But friends the love and affection the father brings never comes to front, nor his hardships just go unnoticed. I want to touch upon from the past and put it to the thought of your intelligent brains. I am told Ramayana and saw it on TV also. There used to be a king called Dasaratha. He married Kausalya, but the couple could not be blessed with Kid. So he married Sumitra and then Kaika. But there was no luck of kids to the King. So he did putrakameshti yagam to have kids. That trial was a successful one and he was blessed with a bowl of sweet rice which is shared between the three wives of king. Kausalya was blessed with Sri Rama, Sumitra with Lakshmana and Kaika with Bharatha and Shatrughna. The kids were closed to their mothers and were looked after well by all the three. Kaika was very close to Sri Rama. The day of declaring the prince for throne has come and Dasaratha wanted Ram to be the next person as he is the eldest son. Kaika for her selfish desires wanted Bharat as King and she pressed Dasarath to fulfill her wish as she has a word from Dasaratha long time ago. Dasaratha accepted and Ram went to Jungle. It was Dasaratha who died thinking of Ram and being depressed of Ram's love and affection. It should be noted that neither kausala,sumitra nor Kaika died for the love and affection of Ram.

Next comes the thing of Ravan. The Emperor Ravana had a son by name Meghanath. After Meghanath has won the war against Indra, the king of gods, Ravana conferred the title of 'INDRA JIT' to Meghanath and was proud of his sons accomplishment. When the war was on its full swing Indrajit seeks the blessings of his father and enters war. He brings down Laxman who was saved by Hanuman by getting the herbs from Himalayas. The next day was a different and Indrajit is killed. Ravan has lost battle at that time, when he says winning this war has no use and it is only for records. The words Ravan uses for Indrajit shows that as father his love was above everything.

Next let me come to Mahabharat, devaki was married to vasudev and Kansa comes to know of the eighth kid who will kill him. When the eigth kid(krishna) was born, it was the father Vasudev who takes the boy and dares to cross yamuna and go out to save his kid.
Friends there can be n number of examples that can be given. But the truth is father is a person who loves you more as he makes your career, he creates your future and for that he puts everything at stake. What does a father expect a smile from his son/daughter bas. Today in this era of emails we are forgetting the importance of relations.

Please make sure you write( hand write) a letter once in a week to your father about any aspect. Believe me a father is very happy receiving it. Please dont use emails for it does not show the stroke of alphabet which is ur unique. Please think of it and keep writing atleast a letter to your father on weekend as it will not take more than 10 min to respect the person who has put everything at stake for your/our future. please think on this and pen your views.

May lord vishnu bless u all with a happy and peaceful life.
