Mother’s day is celebrated all over the world and mothers of different region are addressed in different languages, whether as Mama, Ma, Madre, Mae, or by any other name- the feeling of association with the most important person remain just the same. Mothers may have been in different languages but they are as special today as they were in ancient times.
As Lord Buddha honored all Mothers saying, “As does a mother risks her life, loves and protects her child, so does a man cultivate love without measure toward the whole world.”
So, however you may say mother in different languages, when Mom’s Day rolls around show your love and appreciation by surprising her and giving her utmost happiness in whatever way you think you can.
We address our Mom in different languages but the feeling of motherhood is the same in all languages.
