The seven mothers which we need to celebrate
(1) adau mata: the first mother, to whom we are born.
(2) guru-patni: the wife of the spiritual master.
(3) brahmani: the wife of a brahmana.
(4) raja-patnika: the wife of the king.
(5) dhenu: the cow, she gives us milk.
(6) dhatri: the nurse.
(7) prthvi: the earth.
“You get all your necessities of life from the earth. Now, you get food, you get drinking water, you get shelter, bamboo. You get cotton. Roti [bread] is there, kapara is there, and makan is there. And wherefrom it is coming? Sarva-kama-dugha mahi. From earth. Why you are after factories? The mother earth is giving you everything. Therefore she’s called mother. [There are] seven mothers… One of the mothers is this earth. Dhenu dhatri tatha prthvi sapteti matari smrtah. Dhenu means cow, and dhatri means nurse. Tatha prthvi. Prthvi means this land. So they are taking care of the land, nationalists, and killing the other mother, dhenu [cow]. A rascal civilization.
If you are taking care of mother, you must take care of all mothers. No, they are mad after the land, but killing the other mother, dhenu. This is called rascaldom. …to give all comforts to the human brother, and they are sending the animal brother to slaughterhouse. What is this Communist? If you are Communist, if you are equal to all your brothers, why you should discriminate? And our communism is that even there is a snake in your home, you must see that he is not starving. This is spiritual communism. Nobody likes snake. Everyone kills. But sastra says, ‘Even a snake is there at your home, you must see that he’s not starving.’ This is communism, perfect.”
—Srila Prabhupada, Mayapur Walk, 5 de March 1976
Mothers day was celebrated throughout the world but we are forgetting that we have more mothers than one. The world is consider as one of our mother and all the living beings in this world are her children. On this mothers day we use to buy so many presents for our mother, on this particular day. There are also children who cooked special food which is non vege or took their mother to restaurant which serves meat.
We should not forget that every animal in this world has it's mother and children. By serving their flesh to our mother is not a mothers day celebration. Every time when we eat animals flesh we are cursed by their sufferings. No human being should serve their mother or kids animal's meat. Serving meat is considered as serving sin. A respectable mother should not serve the dangerous sin to a kid or a respectful kid should not serve plate of sin to a mother. We(human) are mixing love and sin together.
It is best to celebrate any occasion in a temple by offering satvik food to the Lord. The food which offered to the Lord should be severed as Prasadam to our mothers. In this way our mothers or kids will get more blessings. That is the real meaning of a PUTRA. Put or Pitr means hell and tra means deliver. The duty of a kid to deliver their mother or ancestors from hell. We should not be an instrument to push them to the hell. By celebrating all the festivals according to Vedic way will make our mother earth feel proud of this human race.
