  Chapter 11 : Upbringing of Children

SITA’s aim of life was now to develop Lav and Kush to such a level of excellence that anytime in future , if they came in front of their father RAMA , He will realise that the children are really an asset to their Royal family.

The Sakhis (lady friends) also acknowledge the experience and superior knowledge of SITA and often consult her on various issues in life. On one such occasion, the Sakhis ask SITA:
"How should one give a good upbringing to children?"


|| Upbringing ||

SITA:
( addressing her “Sakhis”, lady friends in the forest.)

Knowledge, devotion and truth
Be this tonic for your infant
Love, strength, industriousness,
Feed this recipe to it.

At every step good values
Give to your darling child
Oh! Mothers, but do remember
The good Lord in your mind.

May they grow from strength to strength,
Your loving daughter or son,
This upbringing will make her or him,
A deserving world citizen.
