Maatraa bhavatu summanaahaa I
Jaaya patyemadhumatim
Vaachum vadathu shantivaam II" (Atharvaved 3/30/2)
Meaning: In an ideal home, children are obedient to their parents. The parents are well-wishers of their children. The husband and wife's mutual relationship is sweet and happy. Only such families always thrive and are happy.
This is what the tradition of India says. A family is not just comprised of a couple and their child (as in a nuclear family), but it is a wide web connected, interconnected an
d transposed to many others. It is always a strong family bond that moulds the character of a person. Family bonds are a link to our beginning and a guide to our future. The single most precious obesession in our life for all of us is to be loved. A sense of belonging is derived from the strong bond of family. Family is where our roots are and it is from there that we grow.Family is the unit within which we are molded and it prepares us for what is in store for us in this world and how we have to face those experiences. Families embed a strong value base in us and these values are carried with us throughout our life.
Thus "family" really matters...
