Today is Rakshabandhan. This is the most sacred festival of brother and sister relationship. Probably there is no other festival as sacred as this. The feelings it generates amongst all of us so pure and honest that we are ready to do anyhting for our sisters and same is the feeling on other side. We are lucky to have such beautiful occassions in our social system. Alongwith Rakshabandhan today we also worship Shrawan Kumar who was killed by Lord Dashrath when we he was filling water for his blind parents. This is another great story inherited by us from our forefthers. An excellent example of parents service.

Recently had been to a temple where the prasad, coconut and Rice were available for puja. Typically every one was taking it and offering in puja. The thing surprised me was the quality of rice and coconut was not good. INfact it always happens that when we go for buying some thing for puja we ask for the cheapest and inferior quality. We simply demand for normal rice and coconut and insist that "Puja wale dena". And the shopkeeper understands and gives the cheapest not best quality because he is doing this since generations. Friends I want to just share with you that when we offer the cheapest and inferior quality of materials for temple and prasad, how god can give us best quality? Probably we need to change this attitude.
