AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Till what age can a boy change clothes in front of his mother? My son is 10 and half years old and I think now he should start having some privacy but he does not listen and he is very comfortable bathing, changing in front of me. What should be the age?

The need for privacy comes strongly with onset of adolescence which is generally around 12 to 14 years of age. As biological and hormonal changes come, children grow conscious and the urge to hide comes naturally.

Affectionately,

If one is an Atheist then the right question would be not why but how this world was made. Because non-belief in a Conscious Wisdom and Force that has gone into…

What were the events that turned the following wars? Ramayana, Mahabharata, World War 1 💣and World War 2. I believe the World War 2’s turning point was Dunkirk or was it when Winston Churchill became Prime Minister or I might be wrong? Please explain.

All these three or four major wars took place during the time of the three Avatars who had come to establish dharma consistent with the dawn of a new age. Therefore these wars can very well be seen as the last ditch attempt for the forces of adharma to resist the new age being ushered by the Avatar. Therefore each war has a spiritual as well as physical turning point.

The spiritual turning point is when the forces of adharma took an extreme step that invited a strong recoil as well as a Divine Intervention. Such a point for the Ramayana war that
