Moorkh…tapas and Tapasya are two different words!!

Tapasya is often translated as “austerity,” but its etymological root, tapas (“deep meditation”), indicates a process of purification by which you make yourself more seasoned and mature. Tapasya includes control over one's physical body, speech, thoughts and mind.

In Hinduism, tapas is a spiritual practice that involves self-discipline, meditation, and other forms of self-purification.

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.
