Mothers Failing In Their Duty?

[Guest guest]

A short item in the Times of India offers this strange brief, in

which Mata Amritanandamayi, a popular and respected living "avatar"

of Devi, criticizes human mothers. Not much detail here, but still

thought it was worth sharing:

 

MOTHERS FAILING IN THEIR DUTY, SAYS AMRITANANDAMAYI

TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2002 04:00:55 AM ]

 

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The human race's future depends almost solely on

woman. If she is not fully aware of her stupendous responsibility,

humanity will suffer, said Mata Amritanandamayi on her return from

Geneva where she received the covetous UN Gandhi-King award for

massive humanitarian works.

 

According to the Mata, today's mothers are not playing their crucial

role in moulding the character of their children, especially

daughters. The motherly instinct of the woman is the most fundamental

and natural.

 

All other roles are subservient to that. But today's mothers seem to

fall in the trap of the glitz and glamour of the show world.

Any comments, agreement, criticism or concern?
