The Rakhi Purnima, which is celebrated in great reverence, is a significant part of our culture. Every practise that we follow is associated with a story as our ancestors were aware of the power that a story could carry for years to come.
One such story goes that one day during their exile, Krishna happened to visit the pandavas in the forest. While handling a physical labour, a piece cut a part of his finger. Draupadi immediately tore a part of her saree and bandaged thehurt.
Krishna promised to repay this uttering the blessing 'Akshyam', 'May it be unending'. The act took the centre stage of the epic tale of Mahabharat when Draupadi was disrobed by the Kauravas.
Women, in such symbolism, tie the rakhi to men with a faith that they are protected at all times.
On this day, as our country is plague by some evil elements, true rakhi is when every women in our land feels safe and secure. That day is not far.
Wishes from someone who does not have a biological sibling but in turn a million brothers and sisters.
