OM SRI GURUPYO NAMAHA RESPECTFUL PRANAMS TO SRI KANCHI MAHA PERIVA
On the ground that free India is a secular state, the Government failed to make provision for religious and moral instruction in educational institutions.
One line of justification adopted for this failure is that India being a land of many religions, the state cannot favor any particular religion.
The mistake has now been realized. A few days back a committee appointed by the Government of India (Sri Prakasa Committee), has submitted its report.
The committee has expressed the view that “many ills in the educational world and in society as a whole today which have resulted in widespread
disturbances were mainly due to gradual disappearance of the hold of religion on the people.”
The committee wants “the inculcation of moral and spiritual values in the minds of the people from the early years”
and has emphasized “that it is most desirable that provision should be made for the teaching of moral and spiritual values in educational institutions. “
Love of God should be implanted in our people during their impressionable age. We must bring up our children with faith in God.
Then alone will get the courage to resist evil thoughts and to stand firmly by moral and spiritual values.
It is with this object in view that our ancients introduced the Pavai Nombu (<Tamil>).
It was this training that was responsible for the absence of theft in the land about which the Greek visitor has recorded.
Twelve valuable years after the attainment of freedom have been lost
. If teaching of spiritual and moral values had been introduced as soon as India became free, the Government, whichever party may be in power,
would have been saved the troubles which arose from language differences and student indiscipline.
It is only now that the Government has realized its mistake, and feels the need for religious hold (<Tamil>) on people. We have attained freedom
. We must retain it. The reason why nations have lost their freedom in the past can be traced more to the internal enemies (<Tamil>) that got established in the people’s heart, than to external enemies. The removal of mental dirt (<Tamil>) is as important as the removal of bodily dirt
. The soap that can remove internal dirt is faith in God (<Tamil>). If we keep God constantly in our heart, no internal enemy can approach us.
We have a duty to drive out our internal enemies (<Tamil>). The attempt in this direction should be made by teaching our children faith in God.
That is the significance of the Tiruppavai-Tiruvembavai movement.
