Appeal to Parents and Teachers! Protect Your Childern from the Harmful Effects of TV, Mobile and Net

The Text 'Benefits and harm of TV, Mobile & Internet' in the 'Balsanskar' Text series is as useful for the parents and teachers as it is for the children. Despite this, some people may ask why have a booklet on the same subject. Following are the reasons for this.

It was due to these sanskars that Shivaji, at the young age of 15 awarded punishment to a Patil from Ranjha (for raping a woman) that his hands and legs be severed. The same Shivaji later established the `Hindavi Swarajya', which was similar to Rarnrajya. The purpose of this booklet is that the present-day parents and teachers realise deeply that it is their moral duty and responsibility unto the Nation to mould a morally sound, patriotic and Dharma-abiding future generation. 2.

From this perspective, this booklet also elaborates on the do's and don'ts on the behaviour of parents. 3. Today, TV, Mobile and Internet, etc. mediums mostly have Raja-Tama-predominant tendencies such as being anti-culture, perverse, vulgar This is causing great harm to Hindu Dharma and Hindu culture. Hindus are not provided education on Dharma; consequently, the future generations have fallen prey to materialism to the extent that they have forgotten their Dharma. Remember, Dharma is the foundation of a Nation. If Dharma is harmed, the Protect your children from the harmful effects.
