Dear Editor,

The Guyana Sevashram Sangha – Cove and John East Coast Demerara celebrates its 60th anniversary by honoring over 60 mothers for mother’s day activities. His Holiness Swami Shivashankaranandaji the administrator along with its trustee and dormitory boys of the Guyana branch perform the celebration with a pooja followed by placing the mothers to sit in front of the alter. Their feet were washed, aartie and teeka was placed on their foreheads. Mala (Garlands) was put around their necks and fed with boojan (food) prepared by the ashram.
Gifts were distributed to them to take home. The Ashram wishes all mothers a blessed mother’s day and expressed the importance of a mother in a home. A home without a mother is like a ship without a sail. The mothers were honored today because of their contribution to society and home in general.
His holiness Swami Shivashankaranandaji, in his speech quoted from the Ramayan of mother Seeta when she was kidnapped by Ravan, that despite all temptation (wealth and power), by the demon king she did not lose hope that her husband Lord Rama will rescue her. Swamiji said that woman needed to be respected more, especially by their husband and closed relatives.
Mothers are the most powerful source of life in today’s world and society and we tends to sometime forget the basic principle of life. That God exist in our home and we keep looking elsewhere for him/her. Mothers on the other hand need to understand their role in a home and society said one of the trustees of the Ashram Mr. Deonarine Ricky Ramsaroop. He further explained that the recent rise in suicide is because there is a breakdown of communication between parents and children. Parents supposed to be the closest friend to any child.
The Ashram would like to invite all Guyanese to attend its Sunday satsang (programme) starting from 7am to 10 am to listen to religious teaching from scarce scripture. There will also be a number of activities planned by the ashram for the remaining of the year. These will be published publicly for all to attend.
