Pt. Vijay Shankar Mehta's column: Learn the sweetness of conversation from Shiva and Parvati

How a husband and wife interact with each other has an impact on the family and society. When the episode of Kakbhushundi came up in the Ram Katha - Parvati ji was asking questions, Shiva ji was answering and this is the Ram story - then the way Parvati ji asked questions in that episode was such that Shiva was impressed. Tulsidas ji wrote – Gauri Gira Suni Saral Suhai. He said, "Regards, I am happy." Hearing the simple and beautiful voice of Parvati ji, Shiva ji got happiness and spoke with respect. Now the words that Tulsidas ji has used in it are a very good indication of the relationship between husband and wife. On a recent visit to Australia, some people expressed concern that the husband and wife in this country have become too aggressive in their relationships. I was thinking that this is the case in India too. Some husband-wife relationships sometimes become acrimonious. You can learn how sweet your conversation is from Shiva and Parvati.
