What is the importance of respecting the mother?

You must understand the value of mother's love and her concern for you. You must give your mother the topmost priority. Sometimes, modern youth do not care for their mothers. They think they are highly educated and that their mothers do not know anything. It is a great mistake to think so. Never look down upon your mother. Mothers also should not compel their children to accede to each and every wish of theirs. Through love and sincerity, she should put her children on the proper path. Every mother should aspire that her children should be good; they need not be great.



More fragrant than the sweet smelling flowers like jasmine and lily, softer than butter, more beautiful than the eye of the peacock, more pleasant than the moonlight is the love of a mother. Human life is a journey from 'I' to ‘We’. In this short journey, you have to detach yourself from the body and develop attachment towards the ‘Self’. For this, mother's grace is very essential.

What is a key quality for every spiritual aspirant?

You experience joy and misery through the ear. Therefore, avoiding the cruel arrows of harsh words, one should use words that are sweet, pleasant and soft. With that softness, add the sweetness of truth. To make the words soft, if falsehood is added, it would only clear the way for some more misery. Hence, a spiritual aspirant should use very soft, sweet, true and pleasant words. The mind of such an aspirant is Mathura, their heart is Dwaraka and their body is Kashi. Such persons can be recognized by their good qualities themselves.

Receiving divine grace with heartfelt Kirtana

Kirtana is a valuable spiritual aid to bring the seeker closer to the Supreme Consciousness. It is the singing of devotional songs, chanting creatively with heartfelt sincerity and purpose. Kirtana is helpful in all spheres of life; it helps us to overcome physical troubles and tribulations as well.


At the place of kirtana, not only are the people who are themselves doing kirtana getting benefited, but also those who are not participating – and even those among the nonparticipants who are sceptics and non-believers, who don’t like the idea at all, the ripple effect of kirtana touches their lives as well, bringing positivity and peace, engendering common benefit.

One of the names of Parama Purusa is Ashutosh. Ashu means “quickly, easily”. Therefore, Ashutosh means the one who can be satisfied quickly and easily. That is, the one who is easy to please. If you do kirtana sincerely and wholeheartedly even for five or 10 minutes, Parama Purusa becomes pleased. Parama Purusa does not make any distinction between educated and uneducated, between black and white – all are His loving children.

Do kirtana without any consideration of time, place and person and those who do kirtana should always remember that the Parama Purusa is Grace and benevolence is made accessible.
