Raksha Bandhan

Good Morning, 

Today, the sacred Raksha Bandhan ceremony is being celebrated across the country with traditional fervor and gaity. The day signifies, the love and trust between brothers and sisters. It has historical,traditional&mythological

significance which talks of the strong, the powerful,the police & the soldiers giving protection to the meek,mild and 

the weak against injustice. 

There was a time in our society when the women in general were considered

possessing relatively weak physique & a nature delicate or tender.As such they require protection against all evil eyes & ill treatment.Rakhya Bandhan ceremony gets validated in the above light apart from setting an example of ideal brother sister relationship. Brother guaranteeing to stand by the sister through thick and thin and the sister praying for a long and blissful life of the brother. 

Devi Subhadra tieing the Rakhi on the wrist of Sri Krishna and Sri Balaram, Draupadi and Godess Laxmi tieing the same on the wrist of Krishna & King Bali respectively. Historically, queen Karnavati tied Rakhi treating Humayun as brother. 

But the situation today is different as women are no way inferior to men to move shoulder to shoulder with male

members for all activities. No more the physique is a barrier as the same is being made good mostly by modern technique and intellect.Having said so, here is nothing wrong in celebrating the festival with happiness and joy for a stronger bonding,flow of love,trust, reliance and social responsibility. 

Wishing a Happy Raksha Bandhan and Sacred Birthday of Sri Balabhadra. 🌺

Give but don't let the person Know....

The Highest form of love is when you do a lot for somebody.... and that somebody never gets

a feel that you are doing something for him/her !!

The love should be so much that the other person must feel that he is doing for you.... and he must

get the importance of doing things for you...  !!

The love should be so much that the person must come out of her shell and bloom like a flower....

The love should be such that the person grows.....  but never get a feeling that you are doing

something for him/her !!

The love should be such that even in small fights... take a back seat and let the person win the

argument.....

      The essense of true love is Unconditional Giving....  and making a person feel important....

Genuinely !!

Anger... is it worth !

               Anger decoded

              --------------------------

The sources of learnings are many. Experience is so important to teach practically the benefits of learnings & applications.The teachings of great personalities past and present when consumed with right earnest,the same enlightens a person.The enlightening heart finds an expression in a radiant/basking face. 

One of the great personalities to ever tread on Indian soil was Chanakya or Kautilya, a popular name.Teachings of Chanakya are beyond time to remain relevant in all ages.On anger,the views 

of Chanakya are so practical,devoid of any sermon. 

Chanakya believed that anger is one's greatest enemy as long as the same is 

used for fulfilling the vested interest. But Simultaneously,he professed that anger could be a boon when utilized for the cause of the nation building. 

At times,the anger is to be swallowed depending on a context and ultimate aim of protecting national interest.Not a permanet feature to forget the anger completely.Convert anger into strong resolution & the resolution into one's determination.Wait for the opportune moment to arrive but never give up the preparedness in between. 

His philosophy was not confined to recitation in verses alone. He himself lived it word by word.While leaving the court of the king Dhana Nanda,he was fearless,giving the emperor an open challenge to destroy Nanda dynasty from the root and install an able and deserving person on the throne.The rest is history.

As a master and mentor,he rightly expected that the pupils being taught by him and the believers in his way of life & philosophy also followed the same in letter and spirit.Not in mere words but in actions. 

 

Wishing a beautiful day.
