Guest guest Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Mother's Day .. Mother's Day has emerged from the ancient festivals dedicated to Mother as Goddess of Wealth, Love, Companion and Protector, since time immemorial. She plays the role of Three Deviyan of Mata Lakshmi, Mata Saraswati and Mata Gouri. The very presence of Mother continue to radiate the Infinite Grace, Compassion, Love, Affection, Devotion & Complete Surrender lent a Divine Spiritual Vibration in the entire surroundings.The ecstasy of queenly, godlessly & motherly devotional stature of three Goddesses Lakshmi, Saraswati & Gouri, all three in one, is seen in Mother. KANGAN KO AARSI KEE ZARORAT NAHIN HAI. SEEING IS BELIEVING. I remember the day I realized it, that first moment of perfect clarity in which I came to the conclusion that my mother had been, and always would be, right about everything. Not just about the little things, but about every single thing. She waited up for me every night, not wanting to go to sleep until each member of her little family was safely home and in bed. I sat in the kitchen, telling her about my evening, when the epiphany came like the proverbial lightening bolt, this godlike woman sitting in front of me, at the kitchen table, had been correct about the course of my life. And I loved it. Over the summer of my 16th year, I prepared for my first year of university, it dawned on me that my mother had predicted this turn of events as far back as the ninth grade. “You'll find you won't stay at one place.” she would say, in response to my declarations of undying loyalty and togetherness, when she and I had one of our usual discussions about the quality of my school, travelling from Chembur to V.T. and back. And, as my path diverged from the usual adolescent pursuits of boys and music to scholarship and career, my old friends moved on with their lives, as we no longer had anything in common except love for each other for sitting on the same bench in the class like five Pandvas. Hoping this was an isolated incident, I spent that night awake, searching for more of her portentous advice, finding instance after instance of her wisdom come to fruition. But how many mothers could say, with complete honesty, that fateful day in 1944 had been all fun and games until I lost my father. And I recall ensuring all my limbs were safely inside the moving vehicle, in contrast to my friend who learned to write with her left hand. Only my mother could provide hard evidence of tales coming true. A careful review of my life indicated that she had been inculcating me, from birth, with her motherly advice. She helped me save face more than once with her uncanny ability to accurately chart the trajectory of any given relationship, dropping hints to guide me and even asking me my revision of certain subjects. On many nights, she would be awake to goad me and prepare tea for me to study and never allow me to stay overnight with my frineds, when she was assured that I really didn't want to say yes. And she would allow me to blame her, as I artificially put her down to my friends for forbidding me to do the thing I least wanted to do. Despite her seemingly psychic abilities, she did allow me to make my own mistakes, and learn from them. As a talented chef, she tried desperately to make the most enchanting food to relish and never any thought of eating outside to upset my stomach. Nor did she comment when I decided to make it my life's goals to grow my bangs down to my chin, except when it made my travel difficult, or when I decided that having the night out with friends.I question my sanity each time I look through one of my old school yearbooks, wondering how I could have possibly thought that the subjects I chose as my carrier or why I sported a beard to look to new heights in my graduation picture, but not once have I heard an I-told-you-so or “see, your mother is always right.” Even though she was. Even I was being called by Swami Chinmayanadaji, the Institution in Himself, "Partha, catch this beareded young man." She had her moments, when her need to share her life experiences overrode my adolescent stubbornness and sense of conviction, regardless of the situations. Yes, she had been right when she suggested I would be happier after the Secondary school, instead of just attending to be with my friends. Yes, she was right that not eating for three days to lose weight would result in my passing out in McDonald’s Burger. And yes, she was right when she said not to withdraw my savings from the bank, just to save for the rainy day. Otherwise, she watched and waited for me to come to her for advice. How maddening to realize I could have avoided mistakes, if only I had consulted my mother each and every time I made a decision. How irritating to look back on my seemingly perpetual humiliations and bad choices, knowing that one word from my Mom could have prevented them. But how reassuring to know that my mother, despite her foreknowledge of the way things would turn out, allowed me to live my life in my own way, because she knew if I was to become the omniscient person into which she had evolved, she must permit me to use my faulty adolescent judgments and live with the consequences. That last night with her, she merely looked at me with thankful eyes for me to observe of her eternal rightousness, when she left her mortal coil, suggesting that I follow her example. And I did and I am still doing. MOTHER'S LOVE. Great Mother, Why do I doubt myself so deeply? Why do I feel so weak when I have been so strong? Why must I fear the ones I love? I’m estranged even from myself. I strengthen my back and raise my head but the shame doesn’t disappear. You’ve given me someone to love but sometimes it feels so wrong. Can I do anything right? My day dreams are so short and the long ones are nightmares. Oh Mother your love still surrounds me wherever I go and your voice whispers to me what I need to know. Your beauty astounds me I can’t ask for more so lovable & so kind to me, a cold fire to endure. Your love’s beyond knowing a mystery so pure. I’m just burning and tossed between joy and despair but with wings I could catch and fly through midair. Your love is alone in a land far away. Her voice just an echo in my ears and my soul. I long for night’s slumber to take me away that I may hold her in my dream everynight. In mourning for you and pray for that Spring when you will return. Look into the past. Look both ways around you like BABA at last. He knows all about you & me, He knows how I feel. Yes, my sorrows are deeper and no troubles at all love my Mother, who built me this dream. I am grateful to Baba for to live and to breathe are the greatest of gifts to ever receive. Without His power we could never have been what we are today. My mom was very sweet and always caring.She was worried about me when I was in school.She ensured that I get up early and be in time.She cared about every one in the house.But best of all, my mom loved all of usWho lived with her, both when we were good and bad.She made me happy with a hug and kiss And held my hands whenever I was sad and needed her the most.. Mommy, I love you for all that you had done for me.Your kiss you and hug, I still linger on.You fed me and taught me all the tricks of life.Your smile, your love and your contentmentare the reminders for all us to remember. I Love You Mother, you are so special and kindAnd I love you so as you helped me to build my characterAnd I want you to know.The thought of you by me, just makes me smile.We were so close forever and not just a while.I appreciated you mother and I love still which lingers in me. 8th May is the Mother's Day. You must realise the greatness of mother's love, who lives or lived for the welfare and fulfillment and happiness for entire family. In order to propagate Mother's Love,this day is being remembered & celebrated as Mother's Day. Each one of you should respect, love and make their mother happy. When mother is happy, you are happy." Real Mothers don't eat; till they have given proper food to all in the family. Real Mothers know that their kitchen is as clean as their own Bed room. Real Mothers often have keep every nice and tidy to be an exampleto kids. Real Mothers sometimes ask "why me?" and get their answer when a little voice says, "because I love you best." Real Mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or years or grade. It is marked by the progression of Ma-ma to Mommy to Mom. A mother of boys works from Sun up 'till Sun down. "Walk a little slower, Mom" Said a little child so small. "I'm following in your footsteps, And I don't want to fall. Sometimes your steps are very fast, Sometimes they're hard to see; So walk a little slower, Mom, For you are leading me. Someday when I'm all grown up, You're what I want to be; Then I will have a little child Who'll want to follow me. And I would want to lead just right, And know that I was true; So, walk a little slower, My Great Lady, For I must follow you.""Yes, Mother, I can see you are flawed. You have not hidden it. That is your greatest gift to me." - Do not ask me how long I will be, I will come out when I am done.Do not bring the phone to the bathroom door. Do not go running back to the phone yelling "She's in the bathroom!"Do not begin to fight as soon as I go in.Oh ... and yes, I still love you. Mom There is only one pretty child in the world and every mother has it. - I asked Mom if I was a gifted child ... she said they certainly wouldn't have paid for me.Children are natural mimics, who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners.Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own.We child proofed our home three years ago and they're ill getting in! Mother's Creed As I hold you in my arms for the first time, I look down at your innocent face and tell you, "I am your Moma" and I tell you what good friends we'll become. I promise you that my heart will always be a safe haven where my love for you will know no obstacles. I will always have faith in you and believe in you. My home will always be your home. You are my second chance, sweet innocent baby. My second chance to bake cake, and watch the sparkling anticipation in your eyes. My second chance to sit and rock a baby to sleep in my arms, experiencing the tiny heart beating next to mine as you rest upon my chest. My second chance to experience the wonder of a child discovering he can walk and blow dandelions into the sky. A second chance to view the world through the innocence of a child's heart. And this time, there will be no rushing to keep schedules and clean the house. I promise to be a child with you when you need me to be and a source of strength when that's what you need from me. I promise that you will hear more "yes" more often than "no" from me, but I will always honor and respect the place of your mother and father. I will never try to outshine them or diminish their role in your life. For as much as I love you, they love you more.We'll grow old together ... I'll just get there a little sooner.Someday, when I'm gone, you'll look back upon all the times we shared and you'll smile. The name Grandmother will always hold a special place in your heart, just as you have always held one in mine. Quickly at a glance it reflects that: Mother's spiritual progress is Matchless Her grace is Boundless Her mercy is Unlimited Her knowledge is Infinite Her bhakti is Immeasurable Her glory is Indescribable She breathes in & out Gurunamam Speaks always Guruleelas Food that she takes Guru bhakti Blood circulation Carries nothing but Veda mantras and pooja path Hands are always Engaged in seva and puja Moves only To Satsang Her strength is Faith in Gurudev Achievements Shedding of ego & surrender to Guru Hobby Namasmarna and spreading Guru Mahima Spare time Utilizes for reading spiritual books and hearing devotional songs Valuable asset Guru sannidhanam Renounced Sansar Her Comfort Making others comfortable Condemns Gossiping and loitering Always ready To help others in difficulties Spends her wealth For spiritual acts Tan man dhan Surrendered for Guruseva Such a divine mother suddenly set her divine yatra to heavenly abode leaving one & all. Always take care your Mother as She has been taking care of you. She is boon in life, those who still have her.
