In Hindu tradition it is called "Mata Tirtha Aunshi" or "Mother Pilgrimage fortnight", and it is celebrated in countries with Hindu population, especially in Nepal. It is celebrated on the new moon day in the month of Baisakh i.e. April/May.

 

Mothers day is the children's special day to contribute to their mothers token of appreciation for the hardships they faced  in nurturing their children. Today  Mothers were praised for giving children the-" Mothers theory "

 

I have studied economics but the basic knowledge that I have is about my mothers natural behaviors-she is the theory that I propagate & the techniques that she gives to me are my learning methods.Today,is mothers day is  celebrated in the above listed countries . Is a mother not thanked in a specific part of World-no it is not true amongst living beings everyone is  but except a lioness also thankful to her mother to teach the cub how to hunt. They are our basic mannerism that were evolved out of you worlds great mothers

 

With concern to the fast speed to celebrate this enthusiasm Mother's Day continuously, it will not be long when the Mothers Day will be noted as the national festival of India.


I think as a kid I contest on mothers day ,not only with, who across the world to be a token of love by her & not only Usa.
