Happy Raksha Bandhan
in Discussions

Today is Rakshbandhan. We celebrate the bond between the brother and sister on this day. Where  the sister prays for lifelong well  being of her brother and the brother in turn promises to stand by and protect his sister under all circumstances.

With the current situation in India, this festival gains more importance. We all need to stand by the daughters of our country. Its the responsibility of each one of us to ensure the security and safety of our daughters. 

I really wish to see our daughters step out of the house without fear.

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated - Confucius

    Happy rakshabandhan to all. This day is celebrated as Narali Poornima in Maharashtra. On this day, the coastal people worship and offer coconuts to the sea to appease it and from this day on, they venture out into the seas again for fishing which had been stopped for a few months owing to the monsoon season and also because it was the procreation time for the sea organisms.

    The bond and the feeling is generally restricted to the day of celebration only and forgotten after that which is evident by the manner in which some of the Indian men have been raping even small girls and killing them and some top leaders saying boys will be boys ! It is only when you have such a mindset that you need to remind them every now and then that there is something more than lust in relationships that is much more relevant to the society ..

    I agree with @usha manohar. Even brothers and sisters need to remind that relationship is for life and not for one single day. Fighting for property as well as nurture jealousy mars the true essence of this festival. We all need to respect our relationships first and then only such occasions become truly meaningful.

    I don't think, there should be an exclusive Festival to show that there should be a strong Bond between Brother and Sister. This Bond comes automatically comes. i have a Sister in Hderabad who never tied a Ralhi to me. But our 'Bhai - Bahen' relation is in tact since decades.

    Anyhow in Telugu Community ,Rakhi is never celebrated.
