Matrupanchakam - Greatness of Mother

Press Reviews

F

ive stanzas in Sanskrit in praise of the mother who has brought up her baby at much self sacrifice - that is what the title of the book means. But there is much also besides. "Mother" extends as in Taitriya Upanishad for the father and the preceptor. Hymns to some deities, are added. . Mr. Sankaran provides an introduction and profuse notes in English.

There is a Shreemukham from the Shankaracharya of the Sringeri Math. Adi Shankaracharya and his mother are constantly referred to. Shree Ramana Maharishi's method of ensuring his mother's salvation is aptly mentioned.
