Mother

Mother  

Dedicated   at the feet of all  mothers

By

P.R.Ramachander

(Though my own script , I got the idea from a post communicated in Whatsapp.Thanks to the author)

Yajur  Veda says  “All  mothers are God”,

Because   every mother giving birth ,

Suffering great pain becomes joyous ,

And indeed  becomes  a Goddess  to that child

Bhishma  Pithamaha a great intellectual  had said,

“Even when her child   becomes old and tottering,

And  he or she  has very many grand   children.

To the mother  he continues    to be a baby.”

He continued”There is no safer  place than mother ,

No one in the world has a more loving heart than her ,

And in fact  there is no protection to a person greater than her,

And that   is why she   is called  “Janani”meaning the mother

Sri Rama  told in Ramayana   that  , “Mother ,

As well as mother  land are much greater than heaven.”

Adhi Sankara   told in a moving  prayer, For all the sacrifices,

“For all you have done  to me, I could only give you  some uncooked rice”

 Thiruvalluvar  has written in his great book that,

The joy of mother  hearing that  her son is great,

Is much more than the joy she  felt when he or she    was born,

And it is true  no one becomes as happy as her  when we succeed.

Mother is Dhathri , the one who carries  the child

Mother is Janani, one who gives birth to the child,

Mother is Amba , one who gives nourishment to the child,

And mother is Shusroo  , the one who takes   care of the child.

Though home was  built by father , for us it  is  our mother’s home.

Kitchen is the place of toil  of mother , and her expected salary  is our love.

The beggar who calls “Oh mother” to get alms, is the Guru  of all psychiatrists.

When we  need any  thing to buy  , every child tells  its mother not father

When  rarely  father  and son laugh together, mother wipes .

Her eyes for the dust that  had not fallen and moves away.

It is these mothers   who fill up the bags  of  children going ,

To outside their  city , with love  soaked   unlimited  eatables.

When children need  to pay school fees  , they approach only their mother,

Because she will get it from father or give it herself and get chastised by their father.

Though  both parents are inside home , we only knock  the door and call “Mother”

In all poems written on mother at least  two wet marks of tears would be there.

The international   slogan of  all mothers  is “My child cannot tolerate   hunger.”

The  question she    would ask  the astrologer is “Would my children be happy?”

The prayer   that she  tells in any temple   all days and everywhere is”Take care of my child”

She is with us all  because  God wanted to be with us  and sent her  as his representative”
