मातृ देवो भवः।

I offer my obeisance to you Gurudev Rev. Sri. Sri. Om Swamiji🙏 Wishing you love, peace and good health . Matarani Bless you 🙏🌺🕉

A Mother is pure Divinity and Grace to the family especially her children. The love for her children is purely unconditional.  She truly is an epitome of warmth, beauty, wisdom, compassion and care. One  just can’t dream life without a Mother’s tender touch and her prayerful heart only dwells in her children’s heart.

Fortunate are the ones who have their Mother’s love and it’s just not easy for the one’s who have lost her before time. The heart feels ripped in halves and the pain and sorrow of her loss numbs the Soul forever. Her presence cannot be filled with anything in this world.

I still do miss my dear Mother’s touch, even though it’s been 40 years since I lost her and it’s still sinking. I felt I was coping well but it wasn’t the case. I still do miss her soft, cuddly hugs.  In all that we do and celebrate in life she is the most vital part of it. We all carry so much of our dear Mother inside us, even though we may miss out on admitting it.

One day deep in my thoughts I started to leave messages to many of my friends asking …’What is it that one thing that you love most about your dear Mother’.

I did get back warm hearted messages but rarely could anybody mention just one thing that they loved about their Mother, they were too many to write about her. All of them carried their Mother’s spark of goodness and  a couple of them who did face a dilemma and were indifferent in their relationship with their Mom unknowingly ended up picking the good virtues of their Mother in their life as they penned down their feelings. Such is the deep love of a Mother.

The very first message is mine and the other comments are the exact messages of some of my good friends from as young as in 20’s to the even more graceful ones in their 70’s. Names not displayed to respect their identities. It truly has been gladdening  to receive their innate feelings for their loving dear Mother. Please feel free to share your feelings 🙏

My Mother was my safety blanket and most precious. A humble soul, her presence gave me immense solace and security. She was way too spirited. She took pride in her life. Sensitive , caring and giving,  she carried much respect for all. She was equally brave to face the world when it came to her family. It felt nothing could bring her down because she was so real . She always encouraged me to do well and serve others in life. And I imbibed so much from her.

I am still living through my parting with her for it was the biggest loss of my life. Miss her kind presence in all the milestones small or big me or my children have achieved. It’s been very hard without her and even if I feel I have moved on you really don’t ‘get over it’. Each day feels like dedication to her…

.

Her braveness leadership, and she  was a fighter and ability to handle things. I admired her so much.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everything was best about my Mom.

But specifically if you ask, I liked her smile, her loving nature, her caring nature

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The best thing I like about my mom is even if I don’t call her, she keeps on calling me no matter however rude I am to her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ah! What a lovely question. The best thing thing was her nurturing ways with me. Her unconditional love for me. But most of all was her compassion to animals and babies. She was superb in that area. Hope that answers it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My mothers simplicity,down to earth attitude, greedless attitude,love for all irrespective of any relations,love for  treating people.i miss her terribly till now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Her curses still linger in my ears.

When I’m miserable and sad her words come back to me

But among her strong points are her resilience her guts and her cleanliness.

I dont hate her. But I’m guilty of not being able to love her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Best thing about my mother…that i was sooooo close to her with my heart n soul…I love her

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you for bringing me, my mother in your thoughts.

Can’t say about just one thing.  The inner strength I find in my mother is immense, which keeps her going. She is selfless, genuinely happy in the happiness of others, have never asked for even a small thing for her own self. And that is the reason, I think, taken for granted the most, in the family.

I feel she is getting depleted now, from within, with time. It disturbs me. I pray for her inner peace.🙏🙏

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Best thing about my mom- values that she taught me, her love for everyone. Be it known or stranger. Her mantra “simple living high thinking”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ahh my mum I admire her social skills and I learnt to care about people who serve us drivers, maids etc as our own she never made them feel any less in the house

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She lived in present never boasted of her jamindari status and glorious past and possessions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My mother is a very self made woman, very determined helping nature, though so old she does her Pooja and reading so religiously, sitting on her bed ! She is a good fighter in achieving Good things!

She was filled with patience !

One thing I like about her is that classy blue bloodline nature she had even now from her childhood!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ooops … I missed out on this one..

Her strength 👍..

She’s a very head strong woman. And extremely confident 👍

Anything she does, she will more than her 100%👍👍

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Her kindness and  her unconditional  love for me. She is an Angel…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Mother made me a survival in this big world. I could not have mustered this much of strength had it not been for her. Though she was very strict and it did bother me many times, but I am a better person today because of her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I treasure my Aayie ( Mother) . Could never tell her how much I loved her , though I use to gift her things on occasions but could never be vocal to her because I always thought that being a Mother she understands naturally…Her loss only made me realize what a strong woman she was. The way she conducted herself and managed everything in the house is something that still amazes me. I do try to be her but only feel weighed down…it’s maybe that she was there all the time …Home is no longer the same without her. Miss her everyday…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meri mommy ka  giving nature bahut tha…sab ko sab kuch dena pyaar, money, respect and khana bana kar khillana . 🙏miss her so so much…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bow down to all the loving  Mothers🙏

A beautiful ode to ‘Mother’ by Nikita Gill

“Mother”

The water of her womb, your first home
The body she pulled apart to welcome you to the world.
The spirit in you she helped grow with all she knew.
The heart that she gave you when yours fell apart.
You are her soft miracle.
So she gave you her eyes to see the best in the worst.
You carry your mother in your eyes.
Make her proud of all she watches you do.

Wonder what the world would be like without this ‘ Unconditional Diva of Love!’ “She is the purest form and a glorious life force you will ever know.”

Love to all the Mothers of the Universe❤️🙏❤️🌺

Thank you my dear OS family and readers for your precious time. Much love and light of Divine Mother surround all🕉🙏🌺

Narayani Nomostute 🙏🕉🌺🌹
