The answer would be No, and that’s where the role of a father becomes very crucial. The figure of a father in the life of his family members doesn’t need any introduction because of the immense responsibilities he carries on himself. Every year father’s day is observed to highlight his contribution in their families upbringing.
But beyond our biological father, we are the children of one Supreme God, the creator and father of everyone. Our latest article will brief you about the occasion of Father’s day, and will disclose the identity of our real father, Supreme God, precisely.
Significance of Father’s Day
Parents play a vital role in the lives of children. Both mother and father become their role models. Earlier, only mothers were considered significant in the nurturing and upbringing of the child, but now the scenario has changed, and the role of fathers is also considered as vital as the role of mothers.
Father’s day is celebrated to acknowledge the contribution of fathers in their families. This day not only strengthens the bond between the father and his children but also makes them understand the importance of the father’s role in their lives. Children can express their love and respect for their fathers in several ways.
Where Did the Word ‘Father’ Come From?
The word father originated from the Proto-Indo-European word ‘pəter’ and in Old English from the word ‘fæder’. Its meaning is the one who gives life to a child. In different languages, fathers are called by different names. For example, Muslims say Abbu, Indians use the word Pitaji, papa, daddy, or dada, in Latin, it is Pater, in Sanskrit it is pitr. Though the words are different, they all reflect the same love and affection of the children for their fathers.
History of Father’s Day
The need for observing Father’s day was not immediately accepted and remained the topic of debate for long. It doesn’t mean that mothers were less appreciated than fathers. There are two stories describing the history of Father’s day. Let’s read them:

Father’s Day Theme in India

Why Is Father Considered Important as Head of the Family?
Fathers do have immense importance in any family. There are different traits that a child inherits from the father as well as a mother. From mothers, a child learns to love, affection, respect, understanding, sensitivity, kindness, creativity, giving unconditional love whereas from fathers he learns masculine traits like strength, courage, independence, leadership qualities, discipline, being active, and projective.
Father’s Day 2025: Father is the male parent who is generally the eldest or senior-most member of the family. Same as mothers, fathers too are the pillars of the family. They work hard and earn bread in order to fulfill the basic needs of all family members. Fathers are very protective towards their children. Even though they are not as good at expressing their emotions, still they do their best to fulfill the needs of the children.
Who Is the Father of the Entire Universe?
Contrary to popular belief, the Father of the whole world is neither the trinity, Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva, or Goddess Durga nor any other deities worshipped around the world. Rather, it is the Supreme God Kabir Who is the absolute true God, creator, and caretaker of the world. The father takes care of children, the family members, providing all the fundamental necessities to them. Lord Kabir Ji is the creator, caretaker and He alone is the father of all souls.
Even while worshiping other Gods and Goddesses, no one is happy in this Universe. People are dying daily due to personal challenges and natural calamities, numerous diseases have cropped up which are incurable, there is cut-throat competition, envy, and jealousy amongst each other. There is an overall sense of desperation and insecurity with the looming dangers. How can these Gods and Goddesses, thus, be given the title of a parent, as no real parent can hurt their children?

And even after all the increasing deity worship and fake Gurus, people seem to be largely afraid and dissatisfied. On the contrary, those who understand this world’s actual reality, trust and follow God Kabir, get cured of any existing incurable diseases, find solutions to all their improbable problems, and remain happy in their lives. Such pious souls will not only get salvation / Moksh to reach Amarlok (immortal place), but God Kabir will also provide them all required comforts in this life as well.
Several deities are worshipped around the world but in reality, they also die, that is, they are not Eternal. It is also mentioned in our scriptures, like the Devi Puran, Chapter 5 skand 3, that even Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva are not eternal, but rotate in avirbhav (birth) and tirobhav (death). Kabir ji has also mentioned in His verses:-
Kabir, Chalti chakki dekh kar, Diya Kabira roye |
Do patan ke beech mein, Sabut bacha na koye ||
In another couplet, God Kabir ji has explained that even the deities are mortal.
Yah harhat ka kuan loi| Ya gal bandha hai sab koi||
Keedi kunjar aur avtara| Harhat dor bandhe kai bara||
How can these deities help the followers who worship them attain Salvation, if they themselves are supposed to take birth and die, as per their karma?
