Namaste to the entire Dununu family, On the auspicious occasions of Rakshya Bandhan and Janai Purnima, we extend our heartfelt wishes for prosperity, health, and happiness to you and your loved ones. May these sacred festivals strengthen the bonds of love and protection within your families and communities, filling your hearts with peace and joy. Explanation of Rakshya Bandhan and Janai Purnima: Rakshya Bandhan: Rakshya Bandhan, celebrated in both Nepal and India, is a festival that honors the sacred bond between brothers and sisters. The word "Rakshya" means protection, and "Bandhan" means bond. On this day, sisters tie a sacred thread called "Rakhi" around their brothers' wrists as a symbol of love, respect, and protection. In return, brothers promise to protect their sisters and offer gifts as a token of their affection. The Rakhi is more than just a thread; it is a symbol of a deep emotional connection that transcends the physical realm, representing the unwavering support and care that siblings offer each other. Janai Purnima: Janai Purnima, also known as Rakshya Bandhan in Nepal, is celebrated by Hindus all over the country. It is the day when men, particularly those who have undergone the sacred thread ceremony (Upanayan), renew their "Janai" or sacred thread, which they wear diagonally across their chest. This ritual symbolizes the renewal of their vows to lead a virtuous and disciplined life. The festival also involves the tying of a "Doro" or protective thread on the wrists of all family members by priests, who chant prayers for their well-being. In Nepal, Janai Purnima is also a time for religious pilgrimage, where devotees visit holy rivers and lakes to take ritual baths, seeking blessings and purification. The festival is deeply rooted in the cultural and spiritual traditions of the region, embodying the values of protection, purity, and brotherhood. Wishing you all a blessed Rakshya Bandhan and Janai Purnima. May these festivals bring joy, prosperity, and protection to your lives.

On this auspicious day of Guru Purnima, we gather to honor and remember our Gurus, the enlightened guides who have illuminated our paths with their wisdom, knowledge, and unwavering support. Guru Purnima, a day dedicated to the Guru, or teacher, is not just a celebration but a profound acknowledgment of the invaluable contributions of those who have shaped our lives and souls. The word "Guru" itself holds deep significance. "Gu" signifies darkness and "Ru" denotes the remover of that darkness. Thus, a Guru is someone who dispels the darkness of ignorance and illuminates our lives with the light of knowledge. This sacred relationship transcends the mundane and ventures into the realm of the spiritual, where the Guru becomes a beacon guiding us towards our true selves. In the ancient scriptures, the Guru is revered next to God, embodying the divine wisdom that nurtures our minds and spirits. As the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad states, "Acharya Devo Bhava" – the teacher is equivalent to God. This highlights the unparalleled respect and reverence bestowed upon Gurus, who play a pivotal role in our personal and spiritual growth. Each of us has had a Guru, whether a teacher in school, a mentor at work, or a spiritual guide. These individuals have not only imparted knowledge but have also instilled values, ignited our curiosity, and inspired us to pursue our dreams. They have been our confidants, critics, and cheerleaders, standing by us through thick and thin, ensuring we strive for excellence and integrity. On this Guru Purnima, we reflect on the teachings and lessons imparted by our Gurus. We recall the moments of clarity and enlightenment, the times when their words resonated deeply within us, altering the course of our lives for the better. Their wisdom has been the foundation upon which we build our aspirations and achievements. Let us also remember the great sages and seers of ancient times, like Vyasa, the author of the Mahabharata, whose profound insights have shaped our understanding of life and the universe. Their contributions have transcended generations, influencing countless lives with their timeless wisdom. Guru Purnima is a reminder of our duty towards our Gurus – to respect, cherish, and honour them. It is a day to express our gratitude for their selfless dedication and the immeasurable impact they have had on our lives. Let us celebrate this day by reconnecting with our Gurus, seeking their blessings, and reaffirming our commitment to the path of learning and growth they have set us on. In conclusion, on this sacred day of Guru Purnima, let us bow in reverence to our Gurus, the torchbearers of knowledge and enlightenment. Their teachings are the guiding light that leads us from the darkness of ignorance to the brilliance of wisdom. As we celebrate their presence in our lives, let us pledge to uphold the values they have instilled in us and continue to walk the path of righteousness and knowledge. May their blessings continue to guide us and inspire us to become better versions of ourselves. #GuruPurnima

On this auspicious day of Buddha Jayanti, let us take a moment to reflect on the teachings of Gautama Buddha, the enlightened one. His profound wisdom, compassion, and serenity continue to inspire people across the world, even after centuries of his passing. Buddha's teachings, based on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, provide a roadmap for us to cultivate inner peace, happiness, and wisdom. They encourage us to develop a deep understanding of our own mind, to overcome negative emotions, and to act with kindness and compassion towards all beings. As we celebrate Buddha Jayanti in 2023, let us renew our commitment to following his teachings, and to making the world a better place through our actions. Let us strive to embody the qualities of the Buddha in our daily lives, and to spread his message of love and understanding to those around us. May this auspicious occasion of Buddha Jayanti bring peace, harmony, and enlightenment to all beings, and may we all continue to walk the path of the Buddha with diligence and joy. #BuddhaJayanti2023 #Gautama #Buddha #Realization #Pournima #SadhguruQuotes #Purnima #BuddhaPurnima

Faguwa (Holi) 2023, Bexley London. [Deepak] [PrasainBM] Holi is one of the most popular and widely celebrated festivals in Hinduism. It is also known as the "Festival of Colors" or the "Festival of Love". Holi is celebrated on the full moon day (Purnima) of the Hindu month of Phalguna, which usually falls in February or March. There are several legends associated with the celebration of Holi, and the exact reason for celebrating the festival may vary depending on the region and tradition. Here are a few common explanations: The legend of Prahlada and Hiranyakashipu: In Hindu mythology, Prahlada was a devotee of Lord Vishnu, and his father Hiranyakashipu was an evil king who despised Vishnu. Hiranyakashipu tried to kill Prahlada many times but failed each time. Finally, with the help of his sister Holika, Hiranyakashipu tried to burn Prahlada alive, but Holika was burned instead, and Prahlada was saved by Vishnu. This story symbolizes the victory of good over evil, and the burning of Holika is celebrated on the night before Holi as Holika Dahan. The legend of Radha and Krishna: According to Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna used to play Holi with his friends and loved ones in his hometown of Vrindavan. He is believed to have applied colors to Radha and other gopis (cowherd girls), and the tradition of playing with colors on Holi is said to have originated from this. The arrival of spring: Holi is also a celebration of the arrival of spring and the end of winter. It is a time to enjoy the beautiful colors of nature and the vibrant energy that comes with the changing season. Overall, Holi is a time for people to come together, forget their differences, and celebrate with joy and love. It is a day to forgive and forget, and to spread happiness and positivity to all.
