Premanand Ji Maharaj: Sometimes in our society, some old customs and beliefs get ingrained in the minds of people, which affects their lives and thinking. One of these common beliefs is that parents do not drink water at their married daughter's house. Questions often arise about whether doing this is a sin or not. Recently, a devotee asked Premanand Ji Maharaj a question on this subject and Maharaj Ji answered this question, which can prove to be a guide for everyone.

The woman asked, is it wrong to drink water from the daughter's house?

A woman asked Premanand Ji that if parents drink water at their daughter's house, do they become a part of sin? She says that her mother is unwell and she wants to serve her mother, but due to fear of society, she is unable to go to her mother. In such a situation, her question was do they not have the right to serve their mother?

Premanand Ji Maharaj gave a clear and balanced answer.

Responding to this question, Premanand Ji Maharaj said that there is no discrimination between son and daughter in the scriptures. In Sanatan Dharma, women are considered to be revered and this is the reason why some people consider drinking water at the daughter's house wrong. However, this mindset is not correct. He also said that the responsibility of serving parents is not only of the son but also of the daughter. If the parents are unwell, then it becomes the duty of the daughter to serve them.

Maharaj Ji also said that we should follow our duties by crossing the limits and notions created by society. If parents spend their lives in their daughter's house, then there is nothing wrong with it. There should be no limits of any kind in love and service.

It is important to live life by rising above the notions of society.

From this answer of Premanand Ji Maharaj, it is clear that we should not make the old beliefs of society the basis for deciding the direction of our lives. Every son and daughter must fulfill their responsibilities towards their parents and denying it or discriminating in it narrows our thinking. We should understand our relationships and strengthen them so that we can play the right role towards our family and society without getting bound in the old mold of society.
