The Gift Of Rakhi Poem by ramesh rai

The Gift Of Rakhi

Rating: 4.1


Raksha Bandhan
A tie of protection
Is the festival of brother and sister

On this auspicious day
Sister ties Rakhi
On the right wrist of brother
Offer sweets
Prays for long
Prosperous life
Of her brother

Brother also offer gifts
Wishes
For her delightful life
Full of peace and prosperity
Pledges for protection
Throughout her life

This festival is observed
On the day of full moon of shravana
Which is now going on
Every year

The love of a brother
And a sister
Is a divine thought
Full of tranquillity
And serenity

My rakhi is dedicated
To all my lovely sisters

I invite the world
To observe this day
As the day of love
For brother and sister

Must ensure
To tie rakhi
On your brother’s
Right wrist and
Pray

What a sacred thread that must be that binds the hand in love what a wish that just arises which stirs the heavens above i wonder how to curb this wonderful attraction i wonder how to bind this thread in just abstraction! ! ! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

What a wonderful poem about this festive day, I learned of it not too long ago from my friend in India. It is an absolute treasure the way sisters and brothers strongly and lovingly bond with one another. Wish we had this tradition here in the U.S., it is absolutely divine! Thank you for explaining it in detail, you made it a very heart-felt and special memory in my mind. I felt the sacredness of this particular ceremony as I read your portrayal of this beautiful festival. Very enlightening and peaceful. Thank you, RoseAnn
