Mother Father Master GOD

A little distance away is Gokul where Krishna spent his early years with Nandagopan and Yasoda. In the temple there,

1. the devotee is first asked to remember his / her Mother with gratitude – having borne and nurturing one selflessly. 
2. Thereafter one remembers and thanks one’s Father. 
3. Next is the Guru, the teacher who has opened our eyes to knowledge and wisdom. 
4. Only after paying obeisance to these three most important people in one’s life is one allowed to pray to the Lord. 

Aren’t these quaint and touching reminders of the high esteem in which women were held in the bygone ages?
