RAKSHABANDHAN

 

RAKSHABANDHAN to JANAMASHTHAMI

 

From couple of Centimetres to endless meters.

 

During the great battle of Mahabharata, Lord Krishna threw a celestial weapon at Shishupala, in order to punish him for numerous sins. During the act of hurling the Sudharshan Charka from his index finger, Lord Krishna hurt himself.

 

On seeing blood drops, Draupadi immediately rushed to protect Lord Krishna. She tore off a piece from her sari and wrapped it around his finger, stopping the bleeding. Lord Krishna was touched by her gesture of devotion and pure love. He asked her what she would like in return of this favor. Draupadi, like a true sister, just asked for the Lord's holy presence in her life forever. From that moment onwards, Lord Krishna has been with Draupadi like a shadow protecting her from every small and big trouble.

 


When the Kauravas tried to dishonor Draupadi through “Cheer Haran” (removing her sari) in a hall of people, she prayed to Lord Krishna continuously. The lord not only took care of her honor, but also punished the sinners during the battle of Mahabharata.

 

This story is a reflection of the pure bond between a brother and sister. The thread of Rakhi and the story of Krishna & Draupadi tells us about the element of faith and emotional security amongst siblings. Draupadi just gave to Lord Krishna one small strand from her sari and in return, Lord Krishna gave Draupadi an endless, infinite sari, one which could never be removed.

 

One must keep on doing good deeds, irrespective of its reverts / paybacks, as the Lord's omnipresence does all the accounting with immense level of accuracies, not a penny here and not a penny there.
