IT IS OUR FAMILY CONCERN

The family life, or what is called as the householder’s life, when executed sincerely and honestly, is considered as devotional service to the Supreme Being.  There cannot be any other example of this story from our mythology.

Saint Narada was not very happy within himself when he found that the average householders do not pray to God, leave alone taking His name at least once a day.  He went to Shri Hari and expressed his anguish.  He requested for a solution to this is
