, It is written in Taitriya Upanishad- ‘May you be a mother goddess:’ That means mother is greater than the gods. Mother is the mother, that is, the one who gives birth, whose place is at the top in the world. If there is another form of love, compassion, emotion and affection then it is ‘mother’. Mother has a special attachment with her child.
No matter how old we become, whenever we are in trouble or feel alone, we still feel like giving up all the pleasures of the world and just clinging to our mother’s lap and becoming a child again. . Because mother’s lap is where there is maximum peace and it is the safest place in the world for a child.
Mother, my world is in your lap
Mother’s love is greater than all the happiness of the world for the child. That is why when small children look from behind their mother’s lap, they see the world in colour.
Sometimes mother’s lap became a piggy bank for us and sometimes a safe, the money kept in it was such a treasure with which all the happiness of the world can be bought.
For the happiness of the child, the mother spreads her lap before God. That’s why a mother’s circle never becomes too small for her child.
No matter how much can be described about mother’s lap, caress, love, affection and caress, it is not enough. Mother’s love and affection are described not only in poetry and books but also in religious texts.
There is an incident in the Kishkindha Kand of Ramcharitmanas that, when Mother Sita was abducted by Ravana, she had thrown away her jewelery after tying it in the hem of her saree, so that if the jewelery was found on the way, it could give some indication about Sita.
Now you tell me, does throwing away the jewelery tied in Sita ji’s pallu and Lord Ram praising it in Ramayana shows the less importance of Aanchal.
This shows how beautifully ‘Aanchal’ has been depicted in all the texts, poetry and Mahakaya. No matter how much time and environment changes, for a child, a corner of his mother’s lap is the safest place in the world, which never becomes small for the child.
Mother’s love has no value. Mother’s Day reflects this sacred relationship with the mother. In honor of motherly love and mothers, every year the second Sunday of May is celebrated as Mother’s Day, which is this year on 12 May 2024. The glory and affection of the mother is especially described in detail in the Vedic texts, scriptures and Vedas and Puranas of Hindu religion.
Mother is addressed by many names like Mata, Aai, Mummy, Mai, Mahtari, Amma, Matri, Ammi, Janani, Jandatri, Jeevandayini, Janani, Dhatri, Prasu.
The way of calling mother may be different in different cultures. But the relationship between mother and child is always full of love and affection.
Mother’s love, affection and affection are all incomparable. That’s why Lord Shri Ram also says in his Ramayana considering his mother as higher than heaven –
Mother’s birthplace, heaven, heaven, poverty.
That is, the place of mother and birthplace is higher than heaven.
Let us know what Vedas and Puranas say about mother’s glory and love.
Actually, it is not possible to express the glory of mother in words. Because mother is such a divine word that just by remembering it, every pore of the body thrills and immense waves of emotions start rising in the heart. The pain of the body ends just by uttering the word Maa, because the entire universe was created from the blessed flow of Maa.
In the Mahabharata, Yaksha Dharmaraja asks Yudhishtra, what is heavier than the land. Then Yudhishthir says- ‘Mata Gurutara Bhumeru.’ That means mother is heavier than this land.
Maharishi Vedvyas while describing mother writes-
Nasti Matrisama Chhaya, Nasti Matrisama Gati:.
Nasti Matrisama Traan, Nasti Matrisama Priya.
That is, there is no shade in the world like a mother, there is no support like a mother. There is no protector like a mother and there is no beloved thing like a mother.
According to the saying of Shatapatha Brahmin- ATha Shiksha Pravakshyam: Matri Maa Pitri Maanacharyavan Purusho Vedah.
Meaning- Only when there are three good teachers, one mother, second father and third teacher, a person can become knowledgeable.
At one place in the manuscripts of Ramayana, Lord Shri Ram says to Lakshman –
Lakshman would have been interested in his golden Lanka.
Mother’s birthplace, heaven, poverty, poverty.
That means- Lakshman! Even if this Lanka is made of gold, still I have no interest in it. Because Janani (mother) and birthplace are greater than heaven.
Mother’s qualities are also mentioned in some ways –
Prashasta Dharmi Vidushi Mata Vidyate Yasya Sa Matriman.
That is, blessed is that mother, who preaches with gentleness from the time she conceives till the completion of her education.
आपदामापत्निनां हितोऽप्यायति हेतुताम्.
Mother’s thighs are bound to become the pillars of Vatsya.
That is, when trouble is about to come, then even the beneficial becomes the reason for it. The mother’s thigh acts as a pole to tie a calf.
Mother’s prayers can avert untimely death
Every mother gives blessings to her child. The prayers given by the mother with a calm spirit and heart have so much power that even untimely death can be averted.
It is only with the blessings, blessings and blessings of the mother that a person walks on the right path and reaches the pinnacle of greatness. Therefore, that life is dull in which there is no mother’s blessings and presence of female consciousness.
Therefore, this year on Mother’s Day, along with giving gifts to mother and making her feel special, we should all take a pledge that we all love our mother, respect her and never hurt her. Because even though mother will hide her tears by wiping them with her lap, the flood of these tears can ruin your life.
