Friendship - a shot note

True friendship ...

Friends .. best friends ... ??
Our history books,our mythology ,  our  epics say it all .. don't they?

Its over five thousand years .. that Mahabharta took place and Ramayana was much way back ... in Satyug...

And the Indian mythology has set examples .. milestones when it come to friendship

Friendship  -means  devotion, divine, heavenly,  sacrifice, selflessness  and has many other attributes ...

The  epics depict the friendship between Ram and Sugreeva , Krishna and Sudama, Karna and Duryodhan, Krishna and Arjun and  above all the platonic friendship shared by Draupadi and Krishna .....

Their friendship was divine, selfless, devotional - a relation more like God and his pupil...

Though  mythological,  these true friendships still exists .. we need to rediscover our inner selves , incarnate the new - human with in us -  through cultural depictions.
Such platonic devotional friendships  symbolizes  the bond shared   between souls - it portray's  the ethos and saga of the human and God devotional relationship which needs be revisited ... redefined ... re-framed ... in today's context ...
