The special guest, Sri Rudra Prasad Dhungana, gave an inspiring speech on the importance of mothers in our lives. He shared that a mother is the first teacher, guide, and protector of a child.
In his speech, he said: "A mother’s love is selfless. From the moment a child is born, a mother dedicates her entire life to nurturing, teaching, and protecting her child. She sacrifices her own comfort, sleep, and desires just to see her child happy and successful." He reminded the students that as they grow older, they must never forget the love and struggles of their mothers. He said: “As you step into the next phase of your life, always remember the values your mother has taught you. No matter where life takes you, respect her, care for her, and make her proud."
He also encouraged students to always express their love and gratitude, not just on special occasions but every day. He concluded his speech by saying: "Your mother does not expect expensive gifts from you. A simple ‘Thank You’ can bring her immense happiness. Always be kind, respectful, and loving towards her."
After the speech, a beautiful devotional song was performed by Km. Emu Mano and his group, adding a spiritual and emotional touch to the program.
