In Indian culture, the mother and father are worshipped and considered to be equivalent to Devatas or Devas who reside in the Devaloka above the earth. Mothers deserve our respect and love not only on Mother’s Day but every day.
In contemporary times, the second Sunday of May is celebrated as Mother’s Day. Team Cultural Samvaad has curated some famous Sanskrit quotes and shlokas to not only wish our mothers but also appreciate their seminal importance in shaping us and society. Happy Mother’s Day. मातृ दिवस की शुभकामनायें |
