A month old baby sleeping on top of his mother
Such bonds are not undone
With the cutting of umbilical chord
Ties that nourish forever.
Maa! That was the best sleep ever!

Also Pitru devo bhava…
“matru devo bhava
pitru devo bhava,
acharya devo bhava,
atithi devo bhava.”
Some explanation for those who do not understand Sanskrit:
The above lines taken from the Upanishads were written in 6th century BCE. It literally means “be one for whom the Mother is God, be one for whom the Father is God, be one for whom the Teacher is God, be one for whom the guest is God.”
