Everything we eat has a profound impact on both our body and mind. The mind is as good as the food. But the food will be as the mind is when preparing and eating. Therefore, when we prepare and consume satvik food in God's remembrance, we are also adding the secret ingredient of divine love which not only enhances its flavour but also gives it subtle levels of energy.

SANATHANA SARATHI, JUNE 1996

Role of the mother

The term "Stree" should not be treated lightly. The Bhagavad Gita lists seven attributes to the feminine principle: Fame, Wealth, Speech, Wisdom, Intelligence, Fortitude and Determination. The Mother principle, which embodies these seven potencies, is highly sacred. Wherever you turn, you will see manifestation of the feminine principle in Nature. When any person goes abroad, the first question that is put is: "What is your Mother tongue"? No one asks, "What is your Father tongue?" This shows how much importance is attached to the role of the mother. The mother fosters the child in the womb and goes through all travails to protect the child. There is no greater love in the world than maternal love. Hence the ancients accorded the highest honour to the mother and declared: "Esteem the Mother as Divine" ("Matru Devo Bhava") and "Esteem the Father as Divine" ("Pitru Devo Bhava). For every person the first preceptor is the mother. It is from the mother that a child learns its first words of speech, the first steps in movement and many other primary lessons in behaviour. Hence, the mother stands out as the reflected image of Nature (Prakriti).

Heroic women

Despite the evidences of recognition of the greatness of the feminine principle, women have been described as "Abala" (the weaker vessel). This appellation is applied to women because of the secondary status accorded to women in the performance of Yajnas (sacrifice) and other rituals, though participation together with men was permitted. Women could not perform sacrifices and rituals by themselves. Even charitable and religious acts could be performed by women only in association with their spouses. Though the term "Abala" is applied to women in this specific context alone, women are not weak at all in terms of strength or ability. We have innumerable examples of the strength displayed by women in the world. As against three potencies attributed to men, women are said to have seven potencies (according to the Gita). Can you call as weak Savitri, who made the Lord of Death restore to life her dead husband? Can Anasuya, who transformed the Divine Trinity Brahma, Vishnu and Siva into three babies and played with them, be called an "Abala" (weak woman)? Sumati was a great lady who stopped the sun from rising, because her husband was predestined to die the next morning. Could she be termed as "Abala"? No. Was Draupadi, who bore with fortitude for 14 years all the ordeals her husbands went through, a weak woman? Can Sita, who shared with Rama all hardships of life in the forest and achieved ultimate victory, be called weak? Can Gargi, who could carry on the debate with the Rajayogi Janaka in a dauntless spirit, be called a weak woman?

Madalasa's example

In ancient times, Queen Madalasa was teaching the children from their infancy, the greatness of detachment (Vairagya). She used to sing a lullaby while putting the children to sleep: "Placing you in the cradle of Omkara on the bed of the great saying "Tattwam Asi" (That thou art), swinging to the music of Awareness, dear child, may the Gods lull you to sleep"! (Bhagavan sang the song in His own mellifluous voice). "The four Vedas are the four chains of the cradle. May your heart be filled with the nine forms of devotion.”

Because the mothers in ancient times filled the child with devotion and detachment, Bharat stood out as a land of sacrifice, of wisdom, of yoga and contentment. Because today mothers do not bring up the child in this spirit, this sacred land is ceasing to be one of sacrifice and is becoming a pleasure-loving nation. The pleasures are turning into breeders of disease. Sacrifice in ancient times made this country the land of yoga (Yoga Bhumi). Our goal should be to become yogis, not rogis (victims of disease).

Ladies' Day

Women in various places observe what is called Ladies' Day. The day should not be observed only by making speeches or holding Bhajans. They should endeavour to help the poor and the destitute. Helpless women who have no means of livelihood should be taught some occupation like tailoring to enable them to earn an income. Slum dwellers should be helped to keep their huts clean. The environment also should be cleaned to help the children grow in a pure atmosphere. Proper housekeeping should also be taught to those people. Disease is caused mainly by unhygienic surroundings. Moreover the air, the water, the mind, everything is polluted. This pollution is causing several new types of diseases.

Bhagavan concluded his discourse with the bhajan: "Prema Muditha Manase Kaho! Rama! Rama! Ram!”
