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. 🌺
