Keep cleanliness for the sake of happiness of your family. Insanitory Condition is a great problem of us all. Recently, I had to attend a function in which many powerful leaders of state and central government were present there. I requested them all to do only two things i.e., Addiction free Rajasthan and the other, Neat and Clean, Beautiful Rajasthan" and told them to get these two things done till they are in power. Let it be matter of any govt. of any party, we want only addiction free and neat and clean beautiful Rajasthan.
If the streets are full of dirt, the diseases will certainly break out. How can we support for vote to the leaders or parties who can not provide us healthy atmosphere? Sometimes, we get ashamed of thinking that the India which we should be proud of contains such an empire of dirt! It is our moral duty to keep our surroundings neat and clean. I have heard that Gandhiji used to broom the streets of Harijan colonies. Saint Vinobha Bhave used to broom on roads and Ramkrishan Paramhans used to plant the plants any where in order to increase aforestation awareness. When these great fellows did not ashmae of doing noble deeds, why shouldn't we help in keeping our surrounding neat and clean? Keeping useless things at home is inauspicious matter. It remains heaped up either in the corners or at the roof of the houses. We should destroy and throw away such useless things in order to let the prosperity enter your houses. It will help you in avoiding an inauspicious hint of poverty and progress. Cleanliness is the mother of heaven. It gives relaxation and peace of mind. It will help you in having the grace of your deities at your home as it is said that cleanliness is next to Godliness.
The other factor of happiness for maintaining family is co-operation. Help and support each-other. Share your helping hand in your domestic chores. Do not assign all the
