Guru Gita 150 Blessed is mother, blessed is father, blessed is his cast and creed Blessed is the land where a Guru/ guru bhaktha is born. Shiva continued to Parvathy: Blessed is the father and mother, blessed is the cast and Creed, blessed is the place also; where a Guru or a guru bhaktha is born. By the presence of Guru or true Dispile; all are sanctified. Shri Yukteswar respected and revered his mother so much. The monastic regulations do not allow a swami to retain family connection with worldly ties after their formal severance. Shankara, the ancient founder of the Swami order, disregarded the injunctions; at the death of his beloved mother, he cremated her body with heavenly fire which he caused to spurt from his upraised hand. Sri Yukteswar also ignored the restrictions, in a fashion less spectacular. When his mother passed on, he arranged the crematory services by the holy Ganges in Benares, and fed many Brahmins in confirmation with age-old custom. Remembering Sankara's prayer, "there may be bad sons but never can there be a bad Mother". So, praise the Mother Divine, She will grand you all your wishes.

✦ Story behind this post

My grandmother taught me Thiruppavai during dawn hours, her voice threading ancient Tamil prayers through our kitchen. Years later, I discovered how blockchain echoes those teachings—distributed wisdom, earned through patience and understanding. She'd say knowledge multiplies when shared. Now I help others earn crypto daily, teaching them to view digital assets like spiritual practice: consistent discipline yields abundance. The crypto community became my sangha, my spiritual circle. We gather virtually, building something meaningful together. My grandmother would recognize this: different medium, same soul-purpose. Heritage isn't locked in temples alone. It lives wherever we create, share, and uplift one another.
