Rakhi Special

Glow With Pride This Rakhi !!!

Every year, women in India wait for three special days, viz. their marriage anniversary, Rakhi, and their birthday. Out of these three, the first and the last dates are specific to each lady and precious to her heart. But Rakhi Purnima is the day that is common to all Indian women. And the most cherished!

Yes, every lady waits for and cherishes the celebration of Rakhi Purnima, when she gets a chance to show her affection to her brother/brothers. With its roots deep in Indian history and mythology, Rakhi Purnima, a day that usually comes around the last part of August every year, touches your heart with its tradition and customs. The day is also called Rakshabandhan, for the pledge of protecting his sister that every brother takes after she ties the Rakhi on his wrist.

History Says It All…

The tradition is said to have started when wives of Indian kings sent threads to rulers of neighboring states, pledging the latter’s protection and solidarity. This ensured that, the states which their husbands ruled had complete co-operation and protection from neighboring kings. Such was the power of this tradition that major war decisions and outcomes got changed owing to a Rakhi sent to the opponent king. The men kept their promises only to ensure that the women who had gifted the Rakhi to them, stayed protected.

Right from the times of Guru Nanak, tying of Rakhi on the wrists of soldiers and army men, who protect the public, is a happy practice these days, that crosses religious barriers.

The Ritual of Rakhi:: What’s It All About?

Although there is no religious background to the celebration, tying of the Rakhi is usually accompanied by a few sacred chants that invoke the blessings of Gods on the brother. Mostly celebrated during the day, every Rakhi Purnima is a day when women of the house get up early and prepare sweetmeats and delicacies.

After early bath and morning Puja, The sacred Rakhi is tied around the wrist of the brother/brothers amidst solemn chanting or singing. The joy and love, shared particularly at this moment, doubles up when the sweet-meats and delicacies prepared are lovingly fed to the brother. In return to this beautiful ritual, the brother gifts a memento or small amount of money to the sister.

Happy Teacher's Day

Teachers’ Day

According to William Arthur Ward, “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”  True, our teachers are the biggest source of inspiration – to help us reach out for the sky and never be afraid to fall. Because any great teacher will tell his students that it is not a crime to fall but it is unacceptable not to get up. These are some of the values teachers instill in us. True, they play instrumental roles in shaping our personalities, in guiding us through the journey of life and making us the persons we are. For such special people, Floralis, the online flower shop, offers a variety of gifting options to show them you care. 

Happy Teacher's Day !!

The true value of a great teacher cannot be measured in words. They are meant to be cherished every day of the year.

The 5^th of September, however, holds a very special meaning for every Indian student. It is celebrated as Teachers’ Day all across India with great aplomb. This date marks the birthday of Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, great teacher, diplomat and President of India, who was a firm believer in the power of education. He loved teaching and held this profession in high regard. Dr. Radhakrishnan was a scholar, philosopher and writer himself and opined that lessons learnt from teachers stayed with students throughout their lives.

Brighten up This Diwali with Diyas and Candles & Special Gifts

And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.

Light - the source of all. All that is Good, all that is Holy, and all that is Pure. Light, signifying a triumph over evil, a celebration of being. The light of knowledge, the light of wisdom and the light that pervades all - the light of the soul! Diwali also called Dipawali is a Festival that celebrates the triumph of Goodness over all that is not, through an offering of lights. The festival of lights - Deepawali!

Following closely after the five days festivities of Durga Puja, Deepawali recaptures the mood and recreates the vibes of happiness and fun once again. The nation breathes as one again, and celebrates as one. Every house, every street, every corner lights up, dispelling the faintest shadow of darkness. The country decks up like a bride, in her finery of colourful, vibrant lights. Lights of the illuminated candles and diyas, which are used to decorate homes, and the distinguishing factor of the festival of Deepawali - crackers! No sight could be more attractive than that of a Deepawali night, when exploding crackers light up the night sky in a flood of colours, and brightness, and life! The stars that deck up the firmament as an offering of the elements to the cosmos are reflected by the little diyas and lamps that line up every nook and corner of houses and streets. It is a festival celebrated by man and by Nature, together, in a symphony that pervails the spirit of the occasion.

Deepawali calls for beauty. It calls for togetherness. It stands for all that is good, pure and sacred. It is an occasion that elicits the hope of good in us, again, each year. Doubts clear, wounds heal, worries fade away. The lamps light up hearts, revive hopes, renew dreams. An aura of well being pervades all. And each year we cherish the all-encompassing feeling of goodness. Each year we pray that it does not end with the festival. That it stays. That it uplift us toward the light that so warms up the soul. And every year we give the festival our all. All our faith, all our beauty, All our labours to make it as bright, as happy as we would want each and every day to be, each and every life to be. And each and every year we come back with the same hope.
This Diwali, let us adorn our nation, our cities, our houses with the most valuable finery of all: Belief. To be good, and do good. Let us promise to spread the Light that God has created for us, our entertainment, our enlightenment, our Nirvana.

Durga Puja and Indian Culture! And Wishes from Florists

Durga Puja - means triumph of Good over Evil. The Grandest FestivalMost awaited Festival in India when this nation breathes as one. The Celebration that bonds religions, cultures and races; that pulls a string tying the hearts and the minds of people across the biases of every divide. This is a Festival which decides the everybody's schedule, even when it is months away. Plans and schedules, meet-ups and feasts, Gifts and Return Gifts - this is a season of love, care and joy. Wherever we are for whatever reason, this is the season of homecoming!

Durga puja means the Dhaak! Durga Puja means the kaash phool! It means the sun. It means the aimless white clouds in the sky. It means a lot more. To everyone, a different something. Yet!But to everybody, the same! Listening to the first chant of the shloka awaking the Goddess Mother in the early dawn of the Mahalaya is a experience that defies comparison. The feeling of new clothes on Sasthi, the pandal hopping with friends on Saptami, the early morning anjali on Ashtami, the feast on Nabami, and the sindur-khela on Dashami signifying a warm, touching parting of the Mother are the moments that make the year! It is about the mindless, thoughtless binging on junk food everyday from the local makeshift roadside shacks. It is about madness! It is about everything that forms fragments of a time that repeats itself every year, but is very much special to us.

And so Puja is a time for beauty. For Freshness and for a new start. It is a cascade of sights and sounds and smells and touches. It is a welcome that reaches the known and the unknown alike. The welcome of a Mother who manifests Herself in Nature, and in our being. We feel beautiful, and we feel like beautifying. Flower delivery from Flowers Shop and Trinkets and Decorations to make the homecoming of your beloved one to care for; Fragrances and Colors that lend your abode the warmth of your heart. And yes, nothing compares to the smile of happiness and gratitude that you get in return. We hope for a happy homecoming. We look forward to a very happy time this October with family, friends and loved ones.

Significance of The Wonderful Festival in India - Durga Puja. Enjoy the Festival with Sending Flower by Florists & Flower Shop

There is a solitary cloud in the blue sky that narrates a story; a scent in the air that spins a tale; a hum in our head that creates a dream; a dream of peace, and serenity, and bliss; of days of fun, frolic, and pleasure; of a impatience that is fresh in its importunity. And there is a time of the year that fosters each of these into the unexplored regions of our mind and our soul and makes us eager, cheerful, and untamed! The season in which we welcome the dearest, the most loved of the Mothers, The most precious of the daughters for a short stay with us, followed by Her children. Maa Durga illuminates our lives for five days in one of the Most Extraordinary Festivals Celebrated in India across boundaries of faith, culture and class. And we forget ourselves in the joy!

The season of the Durga Puja is a time that evades even the boundaries of wordsmithing. It is the essence of the mother who waits for days to bless her child and her family; the heart and soul of the daughter who wait for time to run into the arms of a mother who is distant; of a grandchild who yearns for the loving embrace of a grandmother, or the amusing, pampering-to-death grandfather. It is a period when every house becomes a home in the anticipation of the return of a loved one. Every corner of the home assures a coziness of a mother’s lap. Every neglected vase comes out to burst in a splash of colours, arranged with Fragrant Fresh Flowers . The house beams with happiness, the floors shine with welcome, the doors are open even when they are not. And beauty flows in, drop by drop, into a soul, a mind, and a nation!

As the Durga Puja fervor sets on, so does the need to make each day a extraordinary one. The colours of the season find its way in the garbs of the people who reinvent themselves every day in all that is unique. Nobody, nowhere can probably match the craze of the Durga Puja Shopping which sweeps an entire population like a drift. Clothes and Shoes and Bags for us and all the Dear Ones, and Fresh Flower Delivery from Florists, or Flowers Shop and Fragrances and Furniture for our homes top the list. Nothing makes us feel better than the feel of a new fabric on the skin, and nothing transforms a house into a home more than a Bunch or two of Flowers - Fresh, Dried, or Artificial Flowers . A day of seemingly infinite pandal-hopping and senseless junk-eating is rounded off blissfully when you return to a home that unfolds the same feeling with a milder tone of warmth and shelter.

Flowers are a friend of feelings. The gentleness never betrays to soothe a nerve that’s thrilled with ecstasy or bent over with torment. And the Puja is the time for nothing but pure, untainted joy. So here we welcome Maa Durga with delighted heart, peaceful mind, and a Bouquet of Colors and Fragrances in our hands - an Offering of Love to the One we Worship!

Happy Durga Puja!
