Slokam 1

Prithu’s grand son, Pracheta Barhis, and his wife Shatadruti are said to have borne ten children, with the blessings of the Paramathma.  The children were collectively called Prachetas. 

The emphasis was on propagating the human race in a dharmic manner. So the Paramathma’s primary objective of intervention is always to root out and destroy the evil spirits among us and allow the righteous among us to flourish and grow.

Prithu’s teachings were imparted to and followed immaculately by his descendants. This is the key to ensuring that the society as a whole is always on the correct path.

The family will not be able to maintain the rigors of the spiritual path,  unless firm guidance is provided by the elders of the family.  We see a lot of the youngsters astray and lost to the temptations of this world in modern families. 

May we not only adhere to the spiritual path,  but more importantly, provide firm guidance to the family and endeavor to stop them from being led astray by the temptations of this world.
