A MOTHER HAS TWO ROLES.

Hi friends,


It is heartwarming to see people writing daily about the Mother, Maa, or Mom, etc. in social media glorifying her to the maximum. They are so captivated by the mother and she feels elated. But I sympathise the father.


Many do not realize the value of the father. Father's role is a thankless one. He is much adored when earning, ignored on holidays, and ill-treated after retirement. A man is respected until he earns and the woman until she works.


The mother satiates the hunger but the father cares about acquiring knowledge. Its importance will be known only later in life. In addition, he insists on rules, character, discipline, education, etc which are unwelcome. So the mother is more glorified.


After retirement, the father, wishing to give some rest to his wife, takes her to his son's house. The daughter-in-law, unable to cope up with the stress due to her children, education, employment, finance, domestic chores, ill-health, etc. expects the mother-in-law to contribute. Then the father, sympathizing with his wife, takes her to their daughter's house. The same situation prevails there and the daughter also expects her mother to contribute.


The most important point to be noted here is how the Mother feels about the two. She is happy to help the daughter but not the daughter-in-law. She feels that her daughter-in-law is enjoying her life with her son, whereas her daughter is suffering at her place. This feeling of partiality by the Mother is the root cause of all the problems in the world. 


The whole Universe will be happy only if the mother considers both her daughter and her daughter-in-law as equal. Then there is real meaning in GLORIFYING THE MOTHER.

25th AUGUST.

When we lose something, our feeling for the loss is considerable. What would be the severity of the feeling if we lose our first child? It will be heart-wrenching. We lost our first child and we suffered the loss for more than a year. 

We got consolation only when the second child was in the offing. This time, we took the maximum precaution to avoid any eventuality. 


I decided to be with my wife at the time of delivery and to take her to the doctor well in time without leaving her under the care of a midwife. 


On the early morning of 24th Aug 1976, she developed labor pains. We took her to the hospital. As the doctor said the delivery would be only by the next morning we brought her home.  During the night, the contractions were frequent. We took her again to the hospital at 4 AM on the next day. 


25th Aug is a special day for me. In the early hours of 25th Aug 1976, my father and myself were anxiously awaiting near the window of the labor room of a small maternity clinic in Srirangam, Tiruchy, praying to Lord Ranganathar to bless my wife for safe delivery.


We prayed that no untoward incident should take place. My father and myself were looking at our watches for the delivery to take place at an auspicious time. I am unable to express in words the tension, anxiety, and agony, I experienced at that time. 


Finally, the cry of the baby came through the windows of the hospital as if Lord Krishna was blowing his conch Panchajanya. The nurse came out and informed us that it was a baby girl. The star was Magam which is a good one. God is great. 


The delivery was normal. I am now a proud father of a cute little girl. I have to thank her for making me a father because only the child makes the parent. That little girl is now 49 and she has two wonderful sons and she is leading a great life in the US.


Every 25th Aug, all the people wish her happy birthday, but I thank her for making me a father. Long live my dear daughter with good health, success, happiness and prosperity.

Social animals that live and hunt in packs, typically consisting of 6-10 individuals.

Foxes:
Generally solitary, although they may gather in small groups of 2 or 3.
