Guru Gita
150
Blessed is mother, blessed is father, blessed is his cast and creed
Blessed is the land where a Guru/ guru bhaktha is born.
Shiva continued to Parvathy: Blessed is the father and mother, blessed is the cast and Creed, blessed is the place also; where a Guru or a guru bhaktha is born. By the presence of Guru or true Dispile; all are sanctified.
Shri Yukteswar respected and revered his mother so much. The monastic regulations do not allow a swami to retain family connection with worldly ties after their formal severance. Shankara, the ancient founder of the Swami order, disregarded the injunctions; at the death of his beloved mother, he cremated her body with heavenly fire which he caused to spurt from his upraised hand.
Sri Yukteswar also ignored the restrictions, in a fashion less spectacular. When his mother passed on, he arranged the crematory services by the holy Ganges in Benares, and fed many Brahmins in confirmation with age-old custom.
Remembering Sankara's prayer, "there may be bad sons but never can there be a bad Mother". So, praise the Mother Divine, She will grand you all your wishes.
