त्रयीमयायः त्रिगुणात्मधारिणे
विरिञ्जनारायणशङ्करात्मने।।
{आपः सूक्तम्}

"I bow to the Savitr who is the Eye of the world, the reason for creation, sustenance and destruction of the universe, the embodiment of three Gunas and the holder of the power of the Trimurtis - Image
Virinja (Brahma), Narayana and Shankara."

à Tribute to Mother!

Worshipping God as Mother & Mother as God has been an inherent part of Sanātana Culture.

नास्ति मातृसमा छाया नास्ति मातृसमा गतिः।
नास्ति मातृसमं त्राणं नास्ति मातृसमा प्रपा॥

There is no shade like a mother, no resort-like a mother, no security like a mother, no other ever-giving fountain of life!

{Skanda Purana Mo. Ch. 6.103-104}
हस्तस्पर्शो हि मातृणामजलस्य जलांजलि: ।

The touch of a mother's hand is like the handful of water for one in want of it.

सहस्त्रं हि पितुर्माता गौरवेणातिरिच्यते ।

In importance mother excels father a thousand times .
