According to Bharatiya Sanaatana Dharma / Vedic Scripture we have seven mothers.



Let us know who they are:



From our śāstra / shastra, it is also said that there are seven mothers.



ādau mātā guru-patni

brāhmaṇi rāja-patnikā

dhenur dhātrī tathā pṛthvī

saptaitā mātaraḥ



Adau mAtA guru-patni

brAhmani rAja-patnikA

dhenur dhAtrI tathA prthvI

saptaitA mAtarah



read as:



aadau maataa guru-patni

braahmani raaja-patnikaa

dhenur dhaatrii tathaa prithvi

saptaitaa maatarah



1st: Our mother , means the mother who has given us the birth



2nd: Guru-patni , the wife of spiritual master or teacher. Means one whose Guru's wife is our second mother.



3rd: brāhmaṇi , the wife of a brāhmaṇa. Means the wife (braahmani) of any brahmana.



4th: rāja-patnikā, the queen, she is also mother. Means the wife of the king.



5th: Dhenu, cow, Means any cow for a matter is our mother.



6th: dhātrī, nurse, If we are not well and if somebody helps us in healing us, then that lady is also our mother.



7th: tathā pṛthvī , as well as the mother earth. Earth is mother because she is giving us so many things, fruits, flowers, grains etc for our eating.



Let us respect, protect & love all our seven maatas / mothers and get their blessings to progress in Sri Krishna Consciousness.



PS: tathaa: tathaa means 'and'.
