Mother's Day

There is a lot being said and heard about Mother's Day in the recent days all over the world.A specific day chosen to honour and make one's mother feel truly special.
Indian culture has always given the highest honour and position to a Mother."Mathru Devo Bhava, Pithru Devo Bhava ,Acharya Devo Bhava"!Mother is honoured first ,then father and then Guru in that order.So a mother is above all for every child.The first face a baby recognizes is the mothers face and she is the one who introduces the father and other members of the family to the child.So a child grew up with a very special bond and place for his/her mother in her heart.In our days generally we would always approach our mom to get permission for anything we wanted from dad.So she was the one who was always there for every child, knowing exactly what her child needs without even having to tell her.Only a mother can recognize what her child is going through from the expressions of her child.God has instilled such amazing qualities in a mother,it is simply unbeilevable and indeed amazing.
We have over the centuries read about some amazing Mother's,who devoted
their lives for the service of mankind.
Florence Nightingale comes to my mind at this point.Inspite of being born in a very rich family she dedicated her life to nurse the wounded,and was popularly known as "The Lady With The Lamp"
Then more recently we had Sarada Maa ,Mother Teresa,and they taught what service to mankind actually means.
Well I could go on and on because there is so much that I could write on the greatness of mother's.
On a lighter note,in the present days, a specific day in a year(usually the second Sunday in May) is celebrated as Mothers'Day,where mothers' are treated with flowers, chocloates, a special dinner or in whatever way one thinks fit and special for his or her mom. This is a way of Thanking mothers for being there always to guide,understand and share the difficult and happy moments of their children.
I personally though firmly believe that every day is Mother's Day for children,and it is important that we pray for our mothers each and every day and thank god for giving us such awesome mothers,and be ever greatful to our mother.It is impossible to give back even a small percent we have received from our mothers, the least we can do is be greatful for all that they have gone through to make our lives so comfortable and wonderful.
GOD BLESS ALL WOMEN!!!!!
Jai Gurudev...
