जिस ने इक उम्र दी है बच्चों को, उस के हिस्से में एक दिन आया ?
'मदर्स डे’ है आज, ऐसा लोग कहते हैं. पर कोई क्या ,मां के लिए कोई दिन मुक़र्रर करेगा. वह सब दिन की है. सब घंटों की है. उसने तब से हमारी परवरिश की है, जब इस आसमान के नीचे हमने आंख भी नहीं खोली थी.
मेरी ख्वाहिश है कि मैं फिर से फरिश्ता हो जाऊं, मां से इस तरह लिपट जाऊं कि बच्चा हो जाऊं I
डॉ. कुमार विश्वास की एक बात याद आती है. वह कहते हैं कि कभी सड़क पर जा रहे हों और सामने से आता हुआ एक ट्रक बेहद करीब दिखाई दे जाए तो सारी चेतना सिमटकर नाभि पर आ जाती है. वह दिल पर भी नहीं आती, छाती पर भी नहीं आती. नाभि पर आ जाती है. क्योंकि मां ने 9 महीने जहां से प्राण पिलाए हैं, वह चेतना वहीं से वापस जाएगी.
A day to honor mothers has existed for as long as, well, there have been mothers. Festivals honoring mothers in ancient times were often tied to gods and goddesses and maternal symbols of fertility, birth, creativity, and cycles of growth. The mother is the protector and nourisher of children and, by extension, of all humanity. The Phrygians held a festival for Cybele, the Great Mother of the Gods. The Greeks and Romans also honored the mother figure of their gods. Even today, an important festival in India, Durga-puja, honors the goddess Durga.
During the Middle Ages, people would return to their home or “mother” church once a year during the middle of Lent. (Back then, children would often leave to work at the tender age of 10!) Historians recognize that it was the return to the “mother” church that led to the tradition of children getting the day off to visit their mother and family.
In 16th-century England, this celebration became “Mothering Sunday.” Children—mainly daughters who had gone to work as domestic servants—would be given the day off on the fourth Sunday of Lent to return to their mothers and home parish. The eldest son or daughter would bring a “mothering cake,” which would be cut and shared by the entire family. Family reunions were the order of the day, with sons and daughters assuming all household duties and preparing a special dinner in honor of their mother. Sometime during the day, the mother would attend special church services with her family.
