Did you know that now, you can send Rakhi’s online to Canada while sitting at home in India? That’s right, large brands, not just within the country but all over the world have realized the need for international online Rakhi delivery services. Afterall, Indians can be found pretty much anywhere in the world. From Canada to USA all the way to France and Australia, you will find a sizable Indian population. Some may be bachelors studying abroad and some may be full-fledged families, either way, practicing tradition is a part of our culture and hence is a part of our life no matter where we are in the world.
So, if you’ve got family living outside in India, don’t let them feel left out like they may have in the past. Remember, not only can you send Rakhi online to Canada and USA but also to places like Australia.
That being said, you would have to plan it out in a manner that ensures your Rakhi reaches your brother in time. Afterall, a lot of factors come into play here. Most delivery agencies that offer non premium delivery services will give a timeline of an estimated 1-2 weeks. However, don’t be surprised if this approximate delivery date is pushed back. This is more likely to happen during festive seasons where the volumes are high and as a result, the likelihood of delays are even higher.
It’s not just the transport from country to country that can be a problem. Once your Rakhi has found its way to whichever country you’ve sent it to, it still has to be transported within. This is where any delays related to the home country’s delivery channels can arise. Which is why it’s important to have your Rakhi’s and Rakhi gifts sent well in advance. That way, you can not only make the needed calls for rectification but can also sleep peacefully knowing your brother has received his Rakhi in time for the celebrations. What’s been discussed above is only related to the Rakhi being sent. The internet has way more to offer than just that!
Using applications like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and of course, Skype, you can set up video calls with your brother. That way, he can witness the pooja and other rituals live as they are conducted.
Personally, I think it’s really important to be there for such ceremonies as it’s a festival that celebrates the bond between a brother and a sister. While this bond is ever present, it’s important to be have your energy connected with that of your sisters during this ceremony as it only helps build the connection you guys share.
Of course, time differences are an issue but with proper planning, it is possible to be together no matter where you are in the world. Worst case scenario? You can have the ceremony recorded for your brother and sent to him later. That way, whenever he gets the time, he can see it all as it happened and can even join in to pray along.
So, with proper planning, you and your family can celebrate Raksha Bandhan together like you never parted ways in the first place. This will not only help the bond between brother and sister grow as strong as ever but will also help those living abroad feel a little closer to home.
