What is the story behind bhai dooj?

Markandeya Mahabhag Sapta Kalpajivitah.।

📍We get many lessons from this story like we should be charitable, should always be ready for public welfare, should have selflessness in mind etc.

☀️After finding her brother after many years, sister Yamuna welcomed Yamraj with great love and Yamraj also requested to take care of her and said:"Sister! What do you want? I want a chance to serve my dear sister."

🌻This festival is a symbol of brother-sister love. No sister wants her brother to be poor, insignificant, lead an ordinary life, bereft of knowledge, or be without influence. On this day, the sister is very happy to find her brother at home or if the brother is unable to come for some reason, she goes to his home herself.

🌺Thus, Bhai Dooj is a festival of wishing well for the brother and of the pure affection between brother and sister.

🌸The sister applies tilak to her brother with the auspicious thought that 'may my brother become three-eyed(trinetra).' The world of name and form that is seen through these two eyes attracts the senses, but the world that is seen through the eye of knowledge exposes the reality of this world of name and form and the light of Jagadishwar(God 🔱) becomes visible.The sister applies tilak to her brother and lovingly feeds him and in return the brother gives her clothes, ornaments, dakshina, etc. The sister is relieved that 'I am not alone... my brother is with me.'

What should a divinely philanthropic soul ask for? One who asks for himself is a pleasure-seeker, a luxurious soul, but one who asks for others or asks for God's love is a devotee of God, a charitable soul.If Lord Surya does charity day and night, then what would Surya's daughter Yamuna ask for?Yamuna said: "The brother who takes bath in me should not go to Yampuri." Yamraj became worried that 'this will lead to bankruptcy of Yampuri. No matter how many sins one commits and takes a dip in Yamuna, he will not come to Yampuri! If everyone becomes entitled to heaven, then there will be chaos.'

❇️This festival of Bhai Dooj, which comes on the third day of Diwali, is a festival that reminds the brother of the protection of the sister and the sister wishes well for the brother. On this day, the sister should pray to Yamraj for the long life of her brother and remember the names of these ⚜️eight immortals: Markandeya, Bali, Vyasa, Hanuman, Vibhishan, Kripacharya, Ashwatthama and Parashurama. She should pray to them that 'May my brother live long' and should also pray to Markandeya in this manner:

🔱Means,'O Mahabhag Markandeya! You are immortal who will live till the end of 7 Kalpas. Just like you are immortal, may my brother also live long.' comes in (Padma Purana)

🌺"Brother! If it is difficult for you to give this boon, then today is the second day of the New Year. On this day, if a brother visits his sister or a sister visits her brother and if a brother meets his sister with affection, then you can promise to free such a brother from the clutches of Yampuri."

🌳Our mind is a Kalpavriksha. The place from where the mind springs is the true form of Chidhana, Chaitanya, Sachchidananda, the Supreme Soul. The resolutions of our mind will come true if not today then tomorrow. If on seeing somebody's sister, you have an ill feeling in your mind, then on Bhaidooj, you should consider that sister as your own sister and the sister should also develop the feeling that 'all men except my husband are my brothers' and should resolve that my brother should be well. The brother should also resolve for the progress of his sister. In this way, 'Bhaidooj' is a festival which provides an opportunity to increase the feeling of mutual love and progress of brother and sister.

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

Yamraj became happy and said: "Sister! It will happen.

⚜️Yamraj, Yamuna, Tapi and Shani - these are said to be the children of Lord Surya🌞. Due to some reason, Yamraj stayed away from his sister Yamuna for years. Once Yamraj thought that 'It has been many years since I saw my sister Yamuna'. So he ordered his messengers(dutas):"Go, go and find out where Yamuna is located these days." Yamdoots came to earth while wandering but they could not find Yamuna anywhere. Then Yamraj himself came to Mathura while wandering and reached Yamuna's palace built on Vishram Ghat.
