 Thus we teach "Mathru devo bhava, Pithru devo bhava, Acharaya devo bhava and Athithi devo bhava".In order to sow the seeds of parental respect towards every child's mother, "Mathru pooja" is a way to induce love and respect to their mother.Mathru pooja is based on the concept of paying our respects to our mother whom our culture sees as a representation of Devi.
