    Happy Mother's day to all mothers on this site

    Mother is a special person to all of us on this earth. If we get hurt anytime for any reason we remember her only but not anybody else. She takes care of us during our childhood and takes all pains to keep us happy and comfortable. She never eats without seeing that we are not hungry. She will be the last person in the house after seeing all in the house are satisfied. Our Hindu culture gives a lot of respect to mothers. We treat our parents as Gods that are visible on this earth. Matrudevo Bhava, Pitrudevobhava Achrayadevo Bhava and Atidhidevo Bhava. This is what our culture says and first place is given to Mother.
    Today we are all celebrating Mother's day. My salutations to my mother and all other mothers on this earth. Happy mother's day to all the mothers on this site.

    Whatever, we are doing for our mother, it cannot be compensated since her love and affection is unparalleled. Can we guess in what way we have been bright up during our infancy stage? We are not aware how many times we have disturbed our moms in night crying for hours for a suck or often urinating in the night. Despite all these nuisances, she was a silent observer.
    Many times, I have seen displaying her food to her kids if there was a demand from any of us.
    Right from adolescence to the maturity stage, she has taken her utmost care in raising us.
    Here her sacrifices are not ending, her affection and love has passed on to my kids with the same degree of closeness and love reflecting that she is a unique soul.

    Happy mother's day to all the members of ISC.
    Mother is a word that evokes emotions and sentiments in our minds. I remember when we were children how much our mothers took care of us and how much time they devoted for our upbringing.
    Mother's feelings towards the children remain same even if the children grow older.
    My mother is no more but I still remember that when I was at my 58 years age, she used to ask me whether I had taken my medicines or not. If I fell ill even at that age she treated me like a child.
    There is no substitute for mother's love and affection.
    Knowledge is power.

    Today happens to be the Adi Shankara Jayanthi also. There is probably no other creative work that can express a mother's sufferings and sacrifices for her child/children than Adi Shankara written 'Matru Panchakam" . It will bring flow of tears to any (even hard/strong hearted) son who had read it . For those who read it he cannot avoid tears and heavy heart especially at the time of cremation of his mother.
    Though a Sanyasi has to cut off the relationship feelings, by reciting Maatru Panchakam( 5 stanzas on mother), as a soliloquy, Adi Shankara shows the umbilical connection with one's mother cannot be cut . In Maatru Panchakam Adi Shankara admist his guilt of being ungrateful to his mother for all her sufferings for him as an infant in womb and after wards too.

    That is why our Indian culture and philosophy teaches us 'Maatru devo bhava'-mother is God manifest.

    Belated Mother's Day greetings and a big salute to all the mothers across the world who took the pain to carry, give birth and to bring up their kids. Observing incidents, though rare, of mothers abandoning their newborn and grown-up kids maltreating their mothers and even killing them or abandoning them during old age, I have doubts, sadly though, that the divine relationship has started losing its sanctity like any other relationship in this selfish world.

    A mother has no equivalent to her. On no occasion all mothers are not acting like Kaikeyi but their selfishness only pollute the children. In some houses the ladies occupying role of mother should be very careful on the future of the children around her either by her own or living with them. If they cruel natured or evil minded on the other persons in the same house or always criticizing other relations etc., they are indirectly seeding poison into the minds of children living with them. But in such cases also there are persons can argue that they are doing like this only for the welfare of the same children.
    However a mother is mother as no one can do the role as easily.
    Once in a meeting Swami Vivekananda was talking about the pride of a mother. An youngster questioned Him in what way he is telling a mother as supreme over others. Swami Vivekananda simply called him with smile and tied a big stone in his body and asked him to wait till he call him back. He also stood there for ten to fifteen minutes and sat down till Swami Vivekananda called him. He lastly called him and asked what was his feeling. He replied that he struggled the hour with much worry. Swami replied this is the mother she is holding a child in her womb for ten months but with great expectation and happy feelings. Because of this greatness a mother is great.
    Similar to this 'Mathru Shodasi' a gist of slokas written by Shankara Acharya is one every person to read to know the feelings of a mother.
    We are told to give respect women which must be true but when a women is a mother the respect should be with more priority. This will be forgotten or ignored by many of us once got married and in order to give respect to the incoming mother, we many of us killing the minds of mother who cared us till the newcomer arrives.

    Now I read a beautiful quote from Holi Shri Muralidhara swamiji about Mother:
    Even those who rent out a house, ascertain whether the occupants are good-natured and look for some credible referral before renting it out. However a mother offers space inside her for ten months without knowing whether the one residing is good or bad! Is not she the goddess we must worship?

    One should remember that every woman is a mother. She may not be your mother but the mother of another person. See a mother in every woman and respect her. "Yatra Naryastu Pujyante Ramante Tatra Devata". This is a famous sloka in Sanskrit. Where ladies are respected, there we can see God moving. So we should learn to respect ladies seeing our mother in them.
