This day was unknown till a few years. In fact, on this day, one must not hoard gold and jewelery. Instead it is a day to donate and realise the comfort we are showered with. It is a day for daanam and dharmam..Not a vulgur display of wealth.Thanks for sharing...<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05151543594628172733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386502109037940059.post-22013588346154041142013-05-19T12:48:40.677+05:302013-05-19T12:48:40.677+05:30Why talk of "parents day" -when we can t...Why talk of "parents day" -when we can talk of the Akshaya tritiya - which has been marketed well by the Jewellery industry - to the new segment of people who are looking at any occasion to buy the precious metal.<br />Back when I was growing up - there was not a "Akshaya Tritiya" ever, but now - it's looked forward to -like a religious happening where the folks who are earning leave early from work to go home - take their spouses to buy thinking - it is auspicious.<br />I'm not saying it should not be done - but why use a this marketing as a tactic to entice folks to celebrate this.<br /><br />So, as long as there are people who believe in such things - there will be marketers.kiranshashihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17048953431463354086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386502109037940059.post-29720040719500466752013-05-19T12:44:18.094+05:302013-05-19T12:44:18.094+05:30Fantastic article - and very well crafted too.

Let the child develop into a more meaningful responsible person.<br /><br /><br />kiranshashihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17048953431463354086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386502109037940059.post-7342478131912227512013-05-16T09:20:14.101+05:302013-05-16T09:20:14.101+05:30Well..First let us remember one thing.

The festivals that we celebrate is laid down by elders. <br />So, there is no question about why we do it and not do it. and mom's day and dad's day is something which we have made for ourselves. This is surely not permanent and not relevant to our practices. <br /><br />Even festival celebration, How many of us do pooja with religious fervour. How many of us do regular prayers?<br />How of us do our nitya karma? Festivals these days are another holiday and a day to relax. <br />Go out, have fun, eat out, watch all the irrelevant programs on TV. The number of people who do the rituals of these days has come down./ The number of people who prepare special dishes at home on these days has dwindled. Everything is ordered or bought. <br /><br />So, follow those rules that our rishis and acaryas have laid down for the sole reason that it is a guru's command and will bring good to us. First be satisfied that what we ought to do, must be done and then question with the intention of finding answers , but not to find fault in our shastras. .<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05151543594628172733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386502109037940059.post-21391144878735985782013-05-15T08:04:01.469+05:302013-05-15T08:04:01.469+05:30Thank you very much for your good&useful text,...Thank you very much for your good&useful text,dear friend.dhanakotiraohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02312635730144474109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386502109037940059.post-86897544959721046042013-05-15T08:00:27.669+05:302013-05-15T08:00:27.669+05:30Good text about celebrations,dear sir.It's mos...Good text about celebrations,dear sir.It's most important to know all.Thank you my dear friend.dhanakotiraohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02312635730144474109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386502109037940059.post-64422025532473014042013-05-14T19:51:52.680+05:302013-05-14T19:51:52.680+05:30I dont agree.

In west it may be the day for socializing even within family :).
