Hindu Rules: Many people habitually touch their father's feet when leaving the house in the morning, and this isn't just a tradition; it's also a sentiment. In our society, the father is considered a shadow, a support, and a pillar of discipline. Especially in Hindu beliefs, the father is given the status of a deity. Astrologically, the Sun is considered the guiding force of the father in the horoscope. This means that the more balanced the relationship with the father, the clearer the direction of life. Ancient texts and folk traditions prescribe certain rules for sons aimed at maintaining their father's respect. It is believed that ignoring these rules can impact the home environment, luck, and self-confidence. Let's find out from Bhopal-based astrologer and Vastu consultant Pandit Hitendra Kumar Sharma.

Why is the father's position considered the highest? The elders of the family often say, "If the father is alive, the roof is safe." This isn't just a saying, it's a belief. The role of decision-making, responsibility, and direction in the family has traditionally been associated with the father. Astrologically, the Sun is the guiding force of leadership, honor, and government work. Therefore, many people associate conflicts with the father with obstacles in life.

5 Things a Son Should Avoid Doing 1. Performing Tarpan or Pind Daan on His Own It is believed that as long as his father is alive, he has the first right to perform major rituals related to his ancestors. If a son takes the initiative to perform these rituals without any reason, it is considered against tradition. Even today, in villages, the priest first calls the head of the family forward.

2. Taking on the Father's Role The father is allowed to take the lead in the main household rituals, such as the grand havan or the family puja. In many homes, young sons are seen to rush forward in excitement, but the elders gently stop them, saying, "The father is sitting here." This is not about authority, but about respect.

3. Shaving the Mustache Completely (Ancient Tradition) This rule is not universally followed today, but in many areas, it was believed that a son would not shave his mustache completely while his father was alive. This was linked to male dignity and family tradition. Elders considered it symbolic, not a strict rule.

4. Putting one's name first in every endeavor—whether it's charity, social work, or being featured on a stage—was considered a courtesy to first mention one's father's name. Even today, in small towns, the tradition of writing "Son of so-and-so" on wedding cards is rooted in this sentiment. It also serves as a lesson in reducing ego.

5. Publicly interrupting one's father is more a matter of behavior than a religious rule. It is believed that interrupting one's father publicly or undermining his image breaks family unity. Disagreements may arise, but it is considered better to resolve them privately.

Does fate really have an impact? From a modern perspective, these things seem to be more about psychology than astrology. A good relationship with one's father strengthens self-confidence. Many people say that having the blessings of the family reduces fear in making decisions. This means that thinking is more affected than the planets.

How to understand these rules in changing times? The primary purpose of every tradition was to maintain respect and balance within the family. In today's world, these principles can be seen not as superstitions, but as practical wisdom. If the spirit behind these rules—respect, humility, and valuing relationships—is understood, they offer real benefits. Keeping these principles in mind while your father is alive is not just a religious fear, but a matter of respect and respect for the dignity of relationships. Maintaining respect and communication is considered the true lesson.
