“Revere your mother and father as divine.”
माँ और पिता को देवता के समान मानें।
Consider your parents as living gods; serve and honor them.
This is a sacred Vedic teaching that was traditionally given to students as a convocation message when they completed their education in the Gurukul.
This is not just a verse, but a moral compass. It teaches us that honoring our parents is the first and greatest form of spiritual and ethical living.
