Significance Of Mother's Day In Hinduism
Significance Of Mother's Day In Hinduism


Unlike others, Hindus honor, respect, worship, celebrate, and give highest recognition to five mothers in their everyday life: 1) Mother Earth, 2) The cow, 3) The religious texts, 4) The Divine Mother, and 5) The biological mother. These have been considered as the sources of life that provide sustenance for the continuity of humanity, and hence, offering admiration, reverence, worship, and making provisions for their continuity are a few of the duties of their earthly children.
