Vote plz!!!
My vote goes to Yashodha for her unconditional love for her son Krishna.
She bore all the mischievous activities of Krishna. Spent day and night looking after her son.
Had to remain awake for whole of the night and sing lullaby's to put Krishna to sleep. How much she loved him.
Even when she came to know that Krishna was not her son, her love didn't reduce. She was hurt but with true love she wished her son all the success in life.
My warm regards to Mata Yashodha😃

I voted for Kunti, but then changed my mind. I thought of how good she was to her sons, but then I remembered Karna and wish I could change my option. I would change it to Subhadra, who not only helped to raise her own Abhimanyu but helped to raise Draupadi's sons.

It would be Yashoda but unfortunately Yashoda does not appear in Mahabharat 😭

Bada natkhat hai re Krishna kanhaiyaa , kya kare yashoda maiyaa ... I've heard so many bhajans about Yashoda maiyaa n kanha ji that sometimes I get disheartened thinking about how she must have been feeling post kanha's departure.. I always had the desire to run to her n sleep in her lap ... (Sorry kanha 😉) ..

Ok I consider all mothers to be Best.. the extent covered in the scripture might not be good enough to understand them.. Am missing here Karna's foster mother who put her adopted son above the ones of her womb.. I know this is not covered but I assume this from Karna's affection..
So on this poll, I would vote for all except Kunti and Gandhari..

Although she was not a great mother to Karna, I would still say Kunti was one of the best moms of Mahabharat, because she was widowed very young in her life and left in charge of five children. Even today it is difficult to bring up five kids single-handedly, so credit must be given where it's due. Also, Kunti always treated Madri's two kids as her own. In fact, she spoiled them than she did her own three so that they'd never feel neglected or unloved. As a mother to the Pandavas, Kunti was a great mother, but because of her abandonment of Karna not only in infancy but also in adulthood, we can't call her an ideal mother. Still, she is one of the best mothers in the epic.
But I voted for Devaki because her story has always touched my heart. Even if she was not able to raise any of her sons, she sacrificed all her happiness to keep them safe. When she and Vasudev found out that Krishna and Balaram were in Gokul, they kept the truth from Kans though often, they were threatened or tortured for information. I also love Yashoda, who raised Krishna for 12-14 years thinking him to be her own biological son. Even when she found out the truth from Akrur, she never stopped loving Krishna. I think both Devaki and Yashoda are two of the ideal mothers in Krishna Leela.
I think Karna's adopted mother should also be included, becase unlike Yashoda, who raised Krishna thinking him to be to her own son, Radha raised Karna knowing he was not her own. Still she loved him equal to her own children. In fact, if folk stories are to be believed, she loved him even more than her own children.
Subhadra is also one of the best mothers, because like Kunti, who raised Madri's sons without any distinction or favoritism, Subhadra took care of Draupadi's sons for 13 years while their fathers and mother were in exile. She treated them equal to her own Abhimanyu.
