JAMMU, Feb 10: Bal Sanskar Wing of Sant Shri Asha Ram Bapu’s Ashram, Bhagwati Nagar, has asked the children to celebrate Valentine Day as Parents Worship Day.

“Presenting a flower to the opposite sex and proposing by uttering “I Love You” is a bad ceremony of the Western World and has spread its tentacles in India as well to an alarming extent, thereby spoiling the career of youngsters before they blossom”, they said, adding that several thousand become pregnant, a considerable number of girls go for abortion and an innumerable teenagers fall a prey to sexual practices and thereby subjected to lead a purposeless, aimless and a miserable life worst than a hell.
To snub this practice of celebrating Valentine Day, Asaram Bapu stepped forward a decade ago and after thorough contemplation put in place “Mattar Pujan Diwas” (Parents Worship Day), they said, adding that the youngsters should not only respect their parents, teachers and elders but also safeguard their character because good values never go waste.
They informed that in the programme, MLA and State President BJP Sat Sharma and former Minister Priya Sethi will be guests of honour and Swami Dinesh Bharti will be the chief guest.
On behalf of Bhagwati Nagar Ashram Samiti, they invited the people especially children to witness the programme, which will leaves everlasting impact over the children.
