the ground of our growing life so that the puberty and the old age might become happy, peaceful and prosperous. We, who have become adult today, have passed the days of our childhood. May be, we are not able to bring back our childhood but we should behave with our children in such a proper way that they might not repeat the mistakes of our 55yrs age. Childhood appeals to all. When a lady becomes a mother, a surprise of world takes place that her blood turns into milk. A grinning of a child echoes in her lap. A lady becomes grateful when she gives birth to the virtuous children.
A lady kneels down her devotions for the birth of a child. A child is a grinning (kilkari) of family, a pious urn of the motherhood of a mother, a grace of society and future of a nation. May we be keeping on worshipping Lord Krishna Kanhaiya in the form of a child in the temples or celebrate the birthday ceremony of Lord Rama or Mahavira, but God appears only as a child in the lap of parents when he has to appear. Therefore, a child who takes birth in a family is not only a child but also an incarnation of God. The day when we begin enjoying God in the child, our attitude and behaviour will totally change towards the child right from that day. then he will not learn 'A' for Apple but will learn 'A' for etiquettes, 'B' for Bravery, 'C' for Courtesy and will also learn the greatness of devotion from 'D'. The A.B.C. of his life will totally get changed. His every movement will makes us feel and realise the incense of Godly grace.
There may be a dialogue, or argumentative debate based on the characters of great personalities but the childhood age of all of them is very charming and attractive. There are so many kinds of thieves in the world and they steal many things but only a child is the person who doesn't steal any thing except stealing the inner heart of anyone. An
