When I was a kid I was taught 'Mathru Pitgru Guru Devo Bhava'. Meaning Mother, father, Guru and then God come in that order of importance. So these living people are always more important than the god. Thats why mom and dad sacrifice so much in hindu and other families. Divorce rate among hndus by and large is low because both mom and dad know that kids get hurt with separation.Have a nice day.surya, chicagoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
