Happy Father’s Day!!

Today is Father’s Day. A father has a very tough job. He needs to show firmness and love at the same time. He needs to provide for the family and maintain a countenance that “all is well”, even though there are cracks and the situation is crumbling.

He needs to show authority with patience and most importantly he needs to modify and morph himself as his children grow up… Because the child who willingly obeyed when they were little can soon start to feel they “know it all” and totally disregard even simple, helpful suggestions.

Usually mothers get the bigger share of our gratitude for love- and yes, it is true that a mother’s love is closest to pure manifestation of the Divine presence, but we also need to remember and honor our father.

After all, it is his seed that allowed us to take birth on this earthly plane. It is not without a reason that we say Pitris (for our fore-fathers) and have Pitru-roon, which is the karmic debt we have (which we need to pay back) for our genetic lineage.

Today is the day to honor and remember our father- He is our first super-hero!! He guided and showed us the right path. When needed, he carried us, so we can have an advantage. He did that for us as a child and even today, he continues to do so- in person or in spirit from the heaven above...

Happy Father’s Day everyone…

Just as a side-note: interestingly, today is also the start of Ashada Gupt Navratri, which is a special nine-nights festival to honor and celebrate the Mother Goddess. If you have not read my post about it, then do check it out…

Happy Father’s Day!!
