The Hindu religion and culture accords the highest place and regard, after God the Creator, to parents and teacher (Guru). Describing the beginning of each day of Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram, Goswami Tulsidas says :
Meaning, “Rising at day break, the Lord of Raghus (Shri Ram) bowed His head to his parents and preceptor and, after obtaining their permission, engaged Himself with the affairs of the city. The King was happy at heart to see His noble deeds.”
However, under the Western influence, now a specific day in a year is fixed as ‘Father’s Day’ ‘Mother’s Day’ and ‘Teacher’s Day’ for showing respect to them, and even that is not observed by all.
The parents, who bring up their children with the best possible care and affection, look forward to reciprocal treatment from their children, especially sons, during their old age. However, the newspapers intermittently report cases in which the children neglect their aged parents, some of whom seek judicial intervention for relief, while those who can afford opt to live in old Age Homes.
Astrology is a helpful guide for knowing before hand whether one is destined for helpful children or not, and in the light of that plan for satisfactory old age. In a horoscope, the Lagna shows the individual himself, the 2nd house relates to family, the 7th house to spouse and the 5th house primarily to progeny.
Jupiter is Karka for progeny, and especially son. The Sun, Jupiter and Mars are male planets and facilitate the birth of son. Saturn, Ketu, Rahu and other functional malefic cause delay, denial or unhappy relations and lack of happiness from children.
