No, I am not quoting from some Religious text.

These are the findings of Researchers on these subjects ,published in Science Daily.

Refusal to accept the fact there is a Higher principle above us,marriages are mere social contracts,preferable not to have children, Single parent under the mistaken impression that it helps the quality of Life, are some of the Modern Thoughts among others.

Under he guise of Modern Science we have started following western ideas for it sounded novel, forgetting that all these ideas have been tried before and the present views of Hinduism is based on  years of observation.

What I have been saying in posts on these subjects are now confirmed by Science.

And remember that children growing among siblings are better balanced, emotionally mature and stable in later years.

Healthy and happy Life is preferable than being called ‘Progressive’

On Religion:

“Religion helps regulate behavior and health habits, while spirituality regulates your emotions, how you feel,” said Carolyn Aldwin, a gerontology professor in the College of Public Health and Human Sciences at OSU.

Aldwin and colleagues have been working to understand and distinguish the beneficial connections between health, religion and spirituality. The result is a new theoretical model that defines two distinct pathways.

Religiousness, including formal religious affiliation and service attendance, is associated with better health habits, such as lower smoking rates and reduced alcohol consumption. Spirituality, including meditation and private prayer, helps regulate emotions, which aids physiological effects such as blood pressure.

The findings were published recently in the journal Psychology of Religion and Spirituality. Co-authors were Crystal L. Park of the University of Connecticut, and Yu-Jin Jeong and Ritwik Nath of OSU. The research was supported by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation“.
