Matru Puja
|
On 12 August 2002, pujas were conducted by the youth to their
parents (Matru Puja). Thus an old tradition, not practised
so often nowadays, was revived: children - mainly teenagers
- ritually washed their parents' feet. Just as, whenever our
Mother enters a programme site, Her children wash Her Feet
to show their reverence for Her.
|
All over India, boys and girls expressed their reverence for their
parents by performing a similar ritual involving their own mothers
and fathers.
 |
This reverence is intended to reach beyond the biological
parents. The youngsters are meant to recognise that a person
is not only the offspring of a father and mother but also
the child of his or her family line and culture, and to feel
respect for the fore-bearers This maha yagna aims to check
the moral and cultural degeneration of the present times by
awakening the youth power and to help relieve suffering due
to national calamities, poverty, insurgency and sectarianism.
