Matrupanchakam - Greatness of Mother

Press Reviews

S

ri Matrupanchakam is a hymn of five verses in sweet sanskrit in praise of Mother. The poet Shree Bhashya Swami, here imagines Shree Sankaracharya addressing his mother in her last days. These verses breathe in themselves lofty ideals enshrined in our Vedic culture. An English translation of these verses is followed by a detailed explanatory commentary in English by K. K. Sankaran, giving excerpts from many ancient scriptures, showing the importance given to a mother in our tradition. Five other stotras including Ganesha Panchakam or Shree Sankara are also included to the main hymn.
