Love for your mother


All children who have had the fortune of having mothers, love their mothers. Mothers are such loving and giving persons in our lives that we cannot help but love them. No matter what they do, even if they are scolding us or angry with us, we still love them. The same is true of their love for us. Our mothers love us regardless of what we do. This is why we must respect their love and respect them. By respecting our mothers we will be blessed by Kanhaji because He has shown us in many ways that mothers are to be respected and above all, loved. He loved Yashoda maiyya very much, even though she was not his biological mother. The same was true of her love for Him. She loved Him endlessly and there are countless pictures with Kanhaji nestled in her lap, her feeding Him, her working while He is playing nearby, or even ones of her scolding Him lovingly and even a few of her punishing Him. Kanhaji was always with her and she was always looking after Him, as all good mothers do. The pair loved each other but Kanhaji had another mother - his biological mother - Devki. He also showed love for her because when he asked her what she wanted from Him she asked for the children she lost at the hands of her brother and He gave them back to her. This is how much He loved her. We too must follow Kanhaji's example and love our mothers and care for them always.
The picture I have included shows Kanhaji hugging His mother - Yashoda maiyya - while she is working and milking the cow. I bet she is milking the cow to get milk to make makhan for Him!
Jai Shri Krishna!
