Valentine's Day of Divine-Love...

Dear All, 14th of Feb, was d 'Valentine's Day! So how did U spend d 'Valentine's Day? With whom? what is UR idea of 'Valentine's Day'? Is it 'meant' Only for teen-agers or young-couples? Do U know or care to know, who was this 'Valentine', whose name is remembered on this day... Friends, U all must be wondering, why am i acting like a 'Paresh Raval' in some comedy-Hindi-movie......going on bombarding question after question! I guess, generally people R not interested in any-kind-of-details, they just enjoy d 'Holiday-mood'........ D common-man's feelings about d 'Valentine's Day, R very limited... Plan UR day, with UR fiance or fiancee... Buy some nice gifts, go out for lunch or dinner, exchange gifts-n-feelings-of-love for each other... Book tickets in advance of some movie or play, then enjoy d same together.. Book in advance n go to hill-station, have nice change from routine, n that too with UR special-one! Options R many but pattern is almost fixed... it seems to be an out-n-out celebration For would-be-couples or present-couples n No-One else! Well d Real Celebration of 'Valentine's Day, is Not Only for couples.... N age is just a number, so No-Age-Bar... Frankly,it is all about d Bond between d-souls... It could be delicate bond of ANY-relation.... It could be Celebration of 'Bond-of-Love' but Not necessarily d bond of physical-love... D involvement could be far above-d-normal-level... on Higher-plane-of-Subtle-Level! In Indian-Culture, d feeling-of-so-called-Love, has different n definite shades... D love of Radhaa for Krishna.... D love of Meera for Krishna... D love of Rama for his father,Dasharath... D love of Mother-Kaushalya for Rama... D love of Rama for brother Laxman... D love of Bharath for brother Rama... D love of deserted-wife-Sita for husband-Rama... D love of Lav-n-Kush for mother Sita... D love of Rama for his departed sons... D love of Rama for his subjects... D love of Jeejabai for her son Shivaji n grand-sons Sambhaji n Rajaram.... D love between Bhakta Dhruv n his God... D love-hate feelings of orphans for their deserted or lost parents... D love between Satyavaan n his-wife-Savitri who fought with Yama-d-king-of-death, to bring back her almost-dead husband.... D love of Ekalavya for his Guru, Dronacharya... D love of Guru Drona for his favourite-desciple-Arjun D love-hate feelings of Karna for Kunti n Pandavas... D love of 'very-old-n-waiting-Shabari' for God-Rama... D Subtle-Bond-of-Love between King-Nala-n-Damayanti....     D love between very young,Bhakta Prahlad n his God, Narayan... D Bond of dedication-n-love between Queen Laxmibai, her very-young-adopted-son & her kingdom of 'Zanshi' For d love-of-freedom,she fought till death,tieing-n-carrying her child, to d battle-field! V all know d symbol of love between brother-n-sister which is 'Raksha-Bandhan'... Combinations R thousands... but d-bond-of love is d Common-Factor! D delicate-feelings R beyond any typical-measures of 'Love'! Surely, there is love of Purest-Quality but this love is Not-limited-to-any-type-of-physicality.... It's a blend of Mixed feelings like sacrifice, devotion,loyalty... There R all types of love-bonds, fatherly-motherly-brotherly-sisterly n last but not d least, Divine love-bond... Between d Self n d Being.... Between d Whole n d part... World of love, surely is not restricted to relations of male-female or husband-wife or boy-n-girl... Valentine was a saint.... His love was for entire man-kind.... He is a symbol of True-Love! So Let us remember him with Love n Action... Let us Love OUR neighbour, (even if he or she may or may not be 'lovely'...pun intended) Let us Love n protect OUR trees... Let us Love n care OUR pets....n all other animals. Let us Love OUR parents... They may not tell Us in so-many-words but They Do need OUR love-n-care! Let us Love OUR siblings... V can't be complete without them!
