How to deal with children with regard to the digital world📱?

The way forward is to educate them early even as a child. Children need to understand the right use as well as disadvantages of the digital world just as they have to be taught the right use of fire or of knife.

Secondly, while they are growing up certain red lines have to be drawn by parents and teachers until the higher secondary school.

Thirdly, refinement of the vital and the awakening of the sense of the true and the beautiful so that they spontaneously discern and reject whatever is ugly.

Finally, the parents and teachers must set an example themselves with regard to the children and younger generation.

Affectionately,

Just as the seed is fed by the manure as well as sunlight so too the soul within us grows through all the experiences of life. But a time comes when we quite naturally begin to seek the Divine consciously. Until then we remain under the law of desires and…

Is there any relevance to all these rites and rituals (karmkand) performed in Pitra Paksha? 🪔🌿🙏🏼

It has no meaning for the departed one’s of the individual since they would have certainly taken birth. 

But when large masses of men engage in prayers for the departed it would clear the earth atmosphere of the vital entities hanging around near the earth atmosphere. But it can be better done without any of these rituals, by the practice of meditation, chanting, even lighting lamp and agarbatti with a prayer for everyone, taking the..
