Son

The sanskrit word for son, putra, derived from "Punnama Narakat Trayate" means one who saves (trayate) from hell (punnama naraka), even after father's death. It is a pity if the society, law, or the government supports a son or an unscrupulous mother who uses the son to show the father hell in this world itself, that too, to extort money. There are stories abound of such happenings.

A father names his son after the Sun God (Aditya), hoping he will demonstrate the same brilliant qualities of the Sun God and illuminate the world. But will the world help or even allow those hopes to be fulfilled? The following URL gives pointers to the story of one "Aditya": http://www.google.com/search?q=aditya+chandran Will the world learn anything from it?
