A captivating photograph with a telling caption!

Every good picture,

Is very dear,

To those; it is meant,

And there are pictures

With a wider appeal,

Some universal,

With a story to tell,

A memory to recall,

An emotion to narrate,

A history to recount,

And with an apt caption,

The photo becomes well-known,

With a great message.

Here (above) is one such picture,

With a captivating caption:

“Grandma, please tell me again,

The names of all these Gods,

And all about these Gods,

About our ancestors,

And our culture and traditions”…

It is with such interactions,

The Sanathana Dharma…

The eternal set of duties,

The philosophy of Hinduism,

Consisting of virtues,

Such as goodwill,

Purity,

Mercy,

Honesty,

Generosity,

Non-violence,

Patience,

Forbearance,

Peace,

Self-restraint,

Asceticism…

The essentials of Hinduism,

Have passed on over generations,

Since times immemorial,

Perhaps from the beginning of creation,

From parents to children,

From grandparents to grandchildren,

As portrayed in this charming photograph.
