Culture and impressions, samskaras. Respect your parents so you can respect your Guru. Prahlada Maharaja never criticised his father. Every morning, Krsna and Balarama touch the feet of Their parents to ask for blessings. We must not forget Vedic culture. Difference between suras and asuras, deva-bhava and asura-bhava.
