Dear Members,

 

Though this is a non-Astrological post, i thought of putting it on

the day of Bhai-Beej..

 

I have complained (light heartedly but firmly) to some of best

friends hailing from Southern India about lacking of a single

festival which exclusively meant for a Brother & a Sister. Like we

have two festival called " Raksha Bandhan " & " Bhai Beej " .

 

I'll be very happy if there is one which i am not aware of. No

offence meant to any one.

 

the issue may be unpalatable for most but is very surprsing for me.

Dear Hari, Namaste !

 

'Equation' sounds improper word to decribe love between brother &

sister however I understand your meaning and it is true but a

festival day is a special day which 'Refreshes'-'Revitalises' the

prema, the affection. It serves as a great 'Token' of love.

 

My friends enjoys Rakhi day in Mumbai with great enthusiasm. I am

sure that people will be missing a day when Sister greets brother

with 'Deepa' and Kumkum. she puts a Tilak on his forehead. Ties a

Rakhi wrist with so much affection. Brother on his part gives some

present to her.

 

on Bhai- beej it is reverse. Brother goes to sister's house (if she

is married) and partakes the food prepared by her. she is so much

happy and try to prepare the best food in the world for her dear

brother.

 

Once again no Ugly -Nonsense-the most damaging words like South

India & north india. It is just the great tradition of " Bharat " and

i hope some day it is integrated in other parts as well.

 

Warm Reagrds,

 

Utpal Pathak

Dear Utpal ji, Hari ji,

Namaskar.

I have observed my maternal uncle, after Sankranthi-Pongal, visit his

sisters(married) with Haldi,Kumkum,and other shagun and bless/seek

blessings as applicable.

We are from Tamil Nadu, Thanjavur to be precise and I believe this is

a common practice.

Nalini Bahen, Namaste !

 

I wrote following lines in my original message:

 

> I'll be very happy if there is one which i am not aware of.>

 

Now your clear reply suggest that there is something for a brother &

sister every year. I am happy to know this.

 

Thanks & regards,

Om Gurave Namah

 

Namaste Utpal Bhai,

 

For us (andhraites) also, 24th Oct was a festival day, marked

by " bhagini hasta bhojanam " :--))

 

Just before a boy's upanayanam is performed, he must eat from the

hand of his sister...celebrating the legendary affection between

Surya and Gayatri?

 

Regards,

Lakshmi
