"I'm devastated, I feel like I've gone mad," Premananda Maharaj Delivers A Heartfelt Message On Parenting
After encountering a distressed man who felt like he is defeated by life, Premananda Maharaj shared some valuable lessons with every parent and child.
New Delhi: Premananda Maharaj is approached by many people to get suggestions for their life problems. All believe that his guidance could show them the right path, whether it is regarding careers, business, addictions, relationships, or any other difficulties.
Recently, a young man shared his problem about how his thoughts have made his life difficult. He also explained that these fears haunt him, as if he is going to be mad. After hearing all his sorrows, Premananda Maharaj responded to him and also shared a heartfelt message for parents.
What did the young man say?
The young man sent a letter to Maharaj about his difficulties, in which he wrote, "My mind has made life difficult. I am broken, I am defeated. Please be kind." After hearing this, Premanand Maharaj quickly responded, saying, "Why are you destroying celibacy? You will go mad."
Reading his letter further carefully, he got to know what the actual issue behind his thoughts was.
How did Premananda Maharaj respond?
Premananda Maharaj understood what he was going through and said, "How will your mind be righteous when you are indulging in filthy behavior? If you have no awareness in your mind, how will you behave? Today's children need discipline the most. Now, when parents scold them, the children say, 'I will do this, I will do that.' This is why parents are also scared. If the teacher scolds them, they attack them, asking, 'Why did you scold our child?'"
He not only tried to teach how children should see their life and how they should behave, but he also spoke about how parenting should be done, stating, "But keep in mind that a child cannot be reformed without scolding. Today, even small children have mobile phones in their hands. They are learning vulgar things and behaving indecently. We are already telling you that if you don't control yourself, you will become like a mad person. How can we explain this to people?"
How will chanting Radha Radha help?
Chanting the Radha Radha name gives peace and makes our mind stable. Premananda Maharaj also mentioned in his message, "There are some movies and serials that encourage children to engage in such vulgar behavior. This needs to be corrected." The saint then concluded by advising the man, "Chant Radha Radha. I firmly believe that chanting the name will make everything alright."
