In Jainism, a mother is considered very sacred and worthy of deep respect.

A mother is honored because:

• she gives birth and nurtures life,
• she shows care, patience, and sacrifice,
• she is an important support in one’s spiritual and worldly life.

Jain teachings emphasize gratitude, respect, and kindness toward mother. Serving and honoring one’s mother is seen as a form of punya when done with pure भावना and without ego.

At the same time, Jainism teaches that all beings are souls, so a mother is not just seen as a relative, but as a living soul deserving ahimsa, compassion, and respect.

In simple words: Jainism places the mother in a very high and respectful position, and service to mother is considered a noble duty.
