ebooks A Brief Account of the Rise and Progress of the People Called Quakers by William Penn in History

Description

Vasudaiva Kutumbakam; the world is my family. Indian culture teacher us this motto; i.e. to treat all beings; animate and inanimate; in the world as our family members. Our small family is run by a father and a mother. The father works and earns money; and with it the mother runs the household. Both look after the children in the best way possible. In the Hindu pantheon there is a famous family or Parivaar; that of Lord Shiva comprising his consort Parvati and children Ganesh and Kartik. If we look at the vehicles or vahanas used by this family; we find each one is an enemy or prey of the other; but the composite picture shows a unified family without any sign of animosity. We should take Lord Shivas family as an example. A family togetherness depends upon the role each member plays; and the members? sacrifices; devotion to ideals and respect to family values form the ladder to success. The Kogatas have also seen Lord Shiva?s family as the ideal; and have beautified this book with pleasing illustrations of the divine parents and children in different activities and moods; followed by charming and delightful verses.
