How did a son from an auto family become the country’s ‘mathematics guru’? The story will give you goosebumps
It is said that the biggest court and the biggest school in the world is in the lap of ‘Mother’. Today, on the occasion of Mother’s Day, we are going to tell you the story of those two great mothers of Bihar, who raised the sun of success for their sons despite living in the darkness of deprivation and poverty. This is the story of ‘Super 30’ fame Anand Kumar and ‘1 Rupee Guru Dakshina’ mathematics guru RK Srivastava. The success that both of them have achieved today and the journey they have traveled till Rashtrapati Bhavan is due to the struggle of their mothers which can hardly be fully expressed on any paper.
In fact, even the President of the country herself has appreciated the working style of these two teachers from Bihar. But Anand Kumar and RK Srivastava give credit for their every success not to themselves, but to their mother’s blessings and her hard work. The story of the lives of these two proves that if mother is with them, even a lotus blooming in the mud can spread its fragrance all over the world.
Jayanti Devi: When mother herself took charge of the kitchen for Anand Kumar’s ‘Super 30’
Today the whole world knows Anand Kumar as the founder of ‘Super 30’, on which a Bollywood film has also been made. But Anand Kumar often tells emotionally that his mother Jayanti Devi is actually the real foundation of ‘Super 30’. After the passing away of Anand’s father, a mountain of financial troubles fell upon the family. To run the household, mother used to roll papads and Anand used to go to sell them on his bicycle.
When Anand Kumar resolved to send the most backward and poor children of the society to IIT by giving them free education, the biggest challenge was to provide accommodation and food to those children. At that time his mother Jayanti Devi herself took charge of the kitchen without any hesitation. He cooked food for those children with his own hands for years, so that Anand could teach the children without any worries and the children would not remain empty stomached. In fact, for those children she was not only a cook but also a mother, whose food prepared the future of hundreds of engineers.
RK Srivastava: Journey from auto rickshaw to Rashtrapati Bhavan
On the other hand, the story of RK Srivastava, resident of Rohtas district of Bihar, is equally inspiring. Today the world knows him by the name of ‘Mathematics Guru’, who teaches children for just Rs 1 as Guru Dakshina. When RK Srivastava was just 5 years old, the shadow of his father was gone. The state of poverty was such that one had to resort to auto rickshaws to meet household expenses.

The way his mother Aarti Devi saved her family from disintegration in adverse circumstances is no less than a miracle. RK Srivastava says that his mother’s sacrifice has made him capable of what he is today. He often says, “There is no greater treasure in the world than parents.” It is the result of RK Srivastava’s hard work that today more than 950 students taught by him have reached prestigious institutions like IIT and NIT. They often give the message to the young generation that respecting parents is the first step to success.
Overcame the hardships to become a role model for millions of youth.
Both these Gurus believe that mother not only gives birth, but she is also the first Guru who teaches to fight difficult situations. Both Anand Kumar and RK Srivastava proved that winners never give up and quitters can never win. Today both these teachers have become role models for millions of youth.
Today, as we celebrate Mother’s Day, the story of these two mothers—Jayanti Devi and Aarti Devi—reminds us of the extraordinary power hidden within a seemingly ordinary mother. His struggles not only made his two sons successful but also gave the country hundreds of engineers and citizens who are making India proud today. In fact, it is the victory of those mothers who never learned to lose.
