Happy Mother’s Day
On Sunday, May 12, 2024, people around the world will celebrate Mother's Day, a special occasion dedicated to expressing gratitude towards mothers. While this day traditionally honours biological mothers, it also offers an opportunity to reflect on the deeper spiritual meaning of motherhood.
Our true essence transcends the physical body; we are eternal souls. The eternal mother of the soul is Shri Radharani, who lovingly cares for her children at all times with boundless compassion, mercy, and kindness. Unlike our biological mothers, who change with each birth, Shri Radharani remains our eternal mother, always nurturing and protecting us. Those who surrender to her receive her special blessings and are cherished as the apple of her eye. Therefore, true Mother's Day is about remembering and dedicating ourselves to our eternal mother, Shri Radharani.
Jagadguruttam Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj beautifully connected Mother's Day with the remembrance of Shri Radharani, singing her praises and seeking her divine blessings. He was the first Jagadguru to spread the sweet name of Shri Radha worldwide. In his book 'Shyama Shyam Geet', he eloquently described:
"Don't consider yourself to be alone.
Your mother Shyama (Radha) remains with you everywhere.
Your body may have a new mother in every birth,
But your true mother Shyama (Radha) is eternal and will always be yours."
Let us celebrate this Mother's Day by remembering Shri Radharani. Let us chant the sacred name Shri Radha together, calling out to her from the depths of our hearts. Moved by our heartfelt devotion, she will embrace us with her divine love. Let us also sing praises of the name ‘Shri Radha’, which saints and devotees have cherished and made the essence of their lives. This Mother's Day, let us connect deeply with our eternal mother, Shri Radharani, and experience the boundless love and blessings she bestows upon her children.
