for this travesty other than ourselves. Yet, it is Hindu culture
that has preached reverence for nature since its inception
so many thousands of years ago.
Rivers, especially Ganga, are truly our “mothers.” Farming
is a primary occupation in India; thus, irrigation is of utmost
importance. Ganga and other rivers irrigate not only our
farms but also our hearts, minds and souls. It is to our
sacred rivers that pilgrims flock for the Kumbha Mela; yet
we must remember that these rivers and mountains are
sacred and treat them as such. The message of the Kumbha
Mela of present times must include a renewed care for the
land we call “Mother.”
The nectar that Kumbha Mela must disseminate today is
a renewed respect for our Earth and her animals, a rededication
to the laws of our scriptures, and a re-kindled
fire of spiritual yearning in our souls. This year, as we
celebrate Kumbha Mela just as our ancestors did, we should
remember the way in which they lived and the values to
which they held. If Kumbha Mela can re-unite us with our
sacred roots and with the messages of our scriptures, then
it will veritably be giving us the “nectar of immortality.”
Then, and only then, will we attain true peace and
liberation.
WORSHIP OF THE MOTHER
One of the most important aspects of Hinduism is reverence
for the Divine Feminine, the Shakti, in all her myriad
manifestations. However, although there are truly infinite
ways to thank and worship the Mother, I feel that three
ways are most important.
If we hold three of Her aspects close to our hearts, cherish
them deeply and thank God for them every day, we can
honestly say that we are worshipping the Goddess.
These three aspects are: your mother, your mother-land,
and your mother-tongue.
Your Mother
A mother is truly divine. It is from her womb we have come.
Our life is a gift from her own; our nourishment flowed
from her body. The love that sustains us, that embraces
our soul, ceaselessly streams from her heart.
When I say your “mother” I mean many things. Of course
I mean the actual mother who gave you birth. But, I also
mean the divine Mother of all — the Goddess. In this
Mother, we find not only our own mothers, but mothers
everywhere. We find Mother Nature, Mother Earth,
Mother Ganga.
These Mothers must be seen as divine. For your own
