Father's Day Sanskrit Quote - पितृदेवो भव

पितृदेवो भव |

पिता को देवता समझो।

Your father is like a Devata* on earth.

In Indian tradition, the father and mother are worshipped and considered to be equivalent to Devatas or Devas who reside in the Devaloka above the earth. Fathers deserve our respect and love not only on Father’s Day but every day.
