XXXI. Call To The Motherhood
Making the home, centre of Samskars - Morning chanting, dress, etc. - Toll of "modernism" - Heroic motherhood - Social aspect - Banish "loneliness" - Literacy campaign, training for employment, and Samskars, to needy sisters - Invoke spirit of Savitri.
Our Mothers have a special responsibility of rearing up the budding generations of our society. Now, what does "rearing up" really imply? Is feeding and clothing the children and sending them to schools, the only thing to be done? On the contrary, the essential aspect is to inculcate in them the right type of samskars such as devotion to duty, spirit of personal endeavour, love of the motherland and readiness for service to society. Our mothers have to attend to this aspect of character formation as their first duty. And for this purpose, they have to be mindful of the many little things, which go to fashion the young minds.
