Celebrating the Strength, Grace, and Sacrifice of Mothers Through Poetry

On May 17th, 2025, Pinkishe Foundation hosted an emotionally stirring virtual kavi sammelan under its literary initiative Project Swara, titled "माँ तुझे सलाम" – a heartfelt tribute to the unspoken strength and selfless love of mothers.

This powerful gathering brought together renowned Hindi women poets from across the country, who used their verses to honour the courage, nurturing spirit, and emotional depth of mothers in every form – as caregivers, as teachers, and as the first pillars of strength in every child’s life.

Why We Celebrated Mothers Through Poetry

In Indian culture, motherhood is revered as divinity. A mother is not just the birth-giver, but the silent force behind values, unity, and resilience in families and communities. The session explored:

  • The emotional world of mothers, often hidden behind smiles
  • The sacrifices made silently every day for family and children
  • The spiritual and cultural symbolism of mothers in Indian traditions
  • The role of mothers in nurturing peace, strength, and unity in society

The poets, through ghazals, poems, and lyrical verses, paid tribute to the women who raise not just families, but future generations.

Highlights of "माँ तुझे सलाम" – The Virtual Swara Session

A Deeply Emotional Poetic Evening

The event was filled with raw emotion, nostalgia, and gratitude. Each poet brought a unique voice and experience, ranging from stories of childhood comfort to the strength mothers show in times of war, crisis, and loss.

Verses echoed themes such as:

  • A mother’s unconditional love
  • Her silent sacrifices and unrecognized contributions
  • The power of Indian women as protectors and cultural torchbearers
  • National pride and the metaphor of Bharat Mata, where the daughters of the land stand ready to defend their motherland

A Lineup of Inspiring Women Poets

This session of Project Swara featured a stellar lineup of talented women poets who command national admiration. Their poetry struck a chord with the audience, making many teary-eyed while reminding everyone of the strength behind every ‘Maa’.

The Symbolism of ‘Maa’ in Indian Thought

The event wove a powerful connection between motherhood and patriotism. As one poet beautifully shared, when threats rise, the vermilion of a woman becomes her shield, and the daughters of the house rise as protectors — be it as a sister, a wife, or a soldier’s mother.

From the home to the nation, the poem "माँ तुझे सलाम" captured the universal strength and divinity of the feminine force.

A Virtual Stage That Connected Hearts

Despite being a virtual event, the evening was overflowing with emotion and shared sentiment. The live chat was filled with salutes, heart emojis, and heartfelt messages, creating a collective space for gratitude, reflection, and poetic expression.

Continuing the Legacy of Project Swara

"माँ तुझे सलाम" was yet another shining evening under Project Swara, which aims to:

  • Elevate women’s voices through art and poetry
  • Provide a platform for creative self-expression
  • Build conversations around culture, identity, womanhood, and social change

Swara continues to remind us that poetry is not just words—it is a movement, a mirror, and a voice.
