naasti matrusamam tranam naasti matrusama prapa
In English, the above Sanskrit sloka means - There is no shade like a mother, no resort like a mother, no security like a mother, no water house like a mother.
Per Wikipedia, a mother is the female parent of a child. Wikipedia elaboration
is certainly correct. But, isn’t it simple? In fact, the word ‘Mother’ can’t be
defined in words. She is popular through various names like ‘Maa’, ‘Bou’, ‘Mama’,
‘Mom’, ‘Mummy’ etc. even though the role is the same. Starting from the very
beginning, a woman bears excruciating pain for nine months to deliver her child.
Although she goes through agonizing times during her pregnancy period, she cuddles
and enjoys her time through muted interaction with her upcoming baby which no
other person can feel and understand. She takes undue care of her child and it simply
keeps on increasing as day progresses. Her insurmountable and unconditional love
and affection is second to none. Before a child pursues formal education, she plays
the role of a teacher and ensures all the pre-requisites are cascaded. She remains
steadfast and does every single bit to provide the best education and inculcate
the best skills to her child irrespective of her own educational background. Even
sometimes she would not have taken a breakfast/lunch/dinner for her child and
no one even comes to know about it. Such is the aura of a mother.
A mother can fit into any role for her child which in fact is quite unexplainable.
As a perfect crisis management master, she stands with the child in case of any
challenge and encourages to face it with supreme confidence and bravery. She is
the pivot in a family and infuses all the moral values in her child to make a
better human being. Hardly she expresses her struggle and tough times she would have gone through in bringing her child up, that is a mother. Whatever we are or whatever success we have achieved
till date, it’s mostly because of her blessings and sacrifice. Her shoes can’t
be filled by anyone. A BIG SALUE TO ALL THE MOTHERS on this planet. Simply bow
our heads in front of that illustrious personality called as “Mother”…
