    Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam November 26, 2015

    What is the important training every mother and parent must impart to their
    children? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us through a true story.

    Putlibai, Mahatma Gandhis mother, spent her life in the contemplation


    of God. She observed a vow wherein she wouldnt partake food until
    she heard a cuckoo sing. One day it so happened that the cuckoo was
    not heard. Gandhi, a small boy then, couldnt bear to see his mother
    fasting for a long time. He went behind the house and mimicked the
    cuckoos song. Putlibai felt extremely sad when she realised that her
    son was uttering a lie. She cried, O God! What sin have I committed to
    have given birth to a son who speaks untruth? Realising the immense
    grief he had caused to his mother by uttering a lie, Gandhi took a vow
    that he would never indulge in falsehood ever again. It is imperative
    that mothers train their children in moral values right from their
    childhood. Never overlook childrens mistakes correct them
    immediately when they stray away from the righteous path and reward
    them for their good deeds.
    - Divine Discourse Nov 19, 2000

    Serve the children as Sri Krishna was served by Yashodha. See in them
    the Lord you revere. Baba
