ThePoweroftheHinduMother

UnseenFactorintheBelie=LifeofIndia.

Thefartheronegoesintothestudy ofpaganbeliefsthemoreheisconvincedthatthereallydismayingob-. stacleswhichconfrontCatholicmissionariesarethoseunnoticedandunappreciatedbytheaverageobserver, writestheRev.DanielRasiah,S.J.,in "Catholic

Inotherwords,whenonepenetrates theveilofmysticismandsuperstition thathangsroundthenativereligious observances,heisstruckimmediately bythepresenceofhithertounseenfactorswhichhaveapowerfulinfluence onthemindofthereligouslyinclined nativeandatthesametimeprevent himfromevenconsideringthetruths ofChristianity.

InIndia,forinstancethepeopleare verymuchattachedtooneoranother oftheirvariousreligions.Justwhy thisissocannoteasilybeexplained. Thereligionsthemselves,atbest,are notparticularlyattractiveorappealingtomanyofthenatives.Andyet, hundredsofthousandsofpeoplein Indiacling-totheirbeliefswithatenacitythathasneverceasedtobea sourceofwondermentaridperhapsadmirationtomissionaries.

Heretoo,evidently,theremus,texist anumberofunseenfactors.Oneof thesefactors,thoughnotfrequently takenintoseriousconsideration,isdeservingofspecialmention.

ThisfactoristheHindumother.

Itistrue,ofcourse,thatinIndia asinmostpredominantlypagancountries,womanisheldinlowregard.All thesame,,thoughitcannotbedenied thatthemotherinIndiaexercisesa powerfulcontroloverthedestinies, thebeliefs,and.thefutureconductof herchildren.

ThereisaHindunurseryrhyme whichbegins;"Themotherandthe fatherarethefirstknowngods."That lineisinstilledintothemindofachild fromearliestinfancyand,apparently, mostofthechildrenseemneverto forgetit.That,perhaps,mayexplain whysomanyHindumen,whenthey growupandattainahighpositionin thestateorinthetemple,trembleat theverythoughtof'amother'sdispleasure.

ThepeopleofIndia,inadditionto beingverymuchattachedtotheir nativereligion,arestrikinglyfondof theirchildren.Thisfondnessshows itselfparticularlyinthecaseofHindu mothers.Thechildren,forthemost partreciprocatetheirfeelingsoflove andreverenceand,whatismostimportant.theycontinuetoho'dthese ideasaslongastheirparent;.

Thatiswhyhundredsandthousands ofHinduyoungmenmaysitbythe hourlisteningtoaCatholicprofessor inaschooloracollege,andyetonly averysmallpercentageofthemwill signifytheirwillingnesstocastaside theirpaganbeliefinfavourofthe TrueFaith.

Thereisnothinginsincereinthis onthepartoftheyoungmen.Yet theprincipalreasonwhytheyrefuse toembraceChristianityisnotbecause theyfeelthatHinduismissuperiorto Christianity,butbecausetheyare afraidtoincurthedispleasureoftheir mothers.

Theabovestatements,nodoubt,are opentodebate.But,thetactremainsthattheHindumotherisIRA tobeignoredwheneverthereisquestionoflookingbehindthescenesof thepaganreligion.

Fromearliestchildhood,aswassaid before,theHinduchildiscarefully broughtupbyhismother.Whenever aHindupriestvisitsherhOlbse,the motherseestoitthatherlittleboy receiveshisblessing.Thechildisimpressedwiththeimportanceofthe visitandwiththerespecthemust holdforthis'dignitary.Whenthis sameprocedurehasbeengonethrough afewtimes,thesethingsarenaturally broughthometothechild.

Onereason,perhaps,whythelittle boyisso.anxioustobelieveinthe pagangodsandtotakeadvantageof everyopportunitytopleasethemisbecauseheseesthathismotherbelieves firthemwithallherheart.Thefervourofherfaithisnotlostonthe child.
