AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

“Bhaiya, I wanted to ask you something. What is the right way to celebrate Rakshabandhan? My sister and cousin usually send me rakhis, and while I truly love and care for them, I don’t feel very connected to the rituals of the festival. I sometimes wonder if I should stop participating, or if I should continue just so they don’t feel hurt. What do you think is the right thing to do?”😌

Stopping will hurt them and it is not needed as the ritual is simply one expression of love and care. You can pray for them, give your best wishes and later keep the Rakhi which is mainly a symbol before the Deity or some such place for a few days before discarding it. Offer it to the Divine as indeed all things must be so offered.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
