test for eldest son

Once shiv sharma wanted to test his son’s Pithru bhakti (devotion towards their father). He wanted to test wether his sons are serving them (himself and their mother) heartfully (100%). 

In order to test them he made a plot and started his illusion for his sons long before his test. He made an illusion that his wife, the mother of 5 sons suffering from some kind of illness. and when he thought that the right time came to test his eldest son he made another step in his illusion that hi wife lost her life because of that illness. All the five sons started weeping for their mother and went to their father to ask what should be done with the body of their mother. (Generally Hindus have different kinds of rituals to their loved ones bodies including but not limited to : letting in the fire or burial). Then shiv sharma ordered his eldest son, yagna sharma to cut her body by each part and throw it away here and there (Which is not allowed in Hinduism). And yagna sharma followed his fathers words not even questioning his father even in his thoughts.

And Shiv sharma felt his eldest son has passed the test. 

PITHRUBHAKTI- a different test for sons

Now- a –days, the time has come that some people call their parents by their names even in india. But there was one time where the fathers and mothers are well respected and they had very strange ways to test their children about their devotion towards parents. This strange story was said in Padma purana in Bhumi khanda.

There lived a brahmin named Shiv sharma lived in Dwarika at west coastal part of India. He had 5 sons named

1. Yajna sharma
2. Veda sharm
3. Dharma sharma
4. Vishnu sharma
5. Som sharma

And all the 5 sons are well educated in vedas, vedangas and equally talented as their father and always obeys the orders of their parents.

Once Shiv sharma wanted to test his sons for their PITHRUBHAKTI. And for that he opted an unique ways to test his each son.
