My Mother is our best Teacher..............

I love to read the spiritual books like Ramayana, Mahabharata , Gita, Sukhsagar etc. My mother used to tell us the stories of these ancients at our childhood. Her teaching style always admire me. Although she did not know how to read but she had a collection of these spiritual books and she owed these books from Maternal grandfather.
When we were started our schooling and learnt reading then she forced us to read the holy books when we were going to sleep and she set a routine that on night one of us read the books loudly so that everybody listened and she also explained the teachings in mid of the reading session.

This really imbibe and imparted all the stories of these holy books within ourselves right through our begining of our life.

She is a true fighter in every sense. Her committment towards family and husband was excellent. She is our real source of inspiration.

Today, whenever we saw any serial on Ramayana, Mahabharat or some other epic serial we thanks to our mother that we knew the story.

Her patience and unbreakable faith on GOD is remarkable.

We are really fortunate that God gave us such a wonderful and dear mother.

Respect to your parents because God can't live with everybody so they have given us the parents.
