Bodhinatha also went to a Hindu Youth Camp in Guyana held at Berbice.

The youth were performing Raksha Bandan…the young ladies tie a rahki thread around the wrist of their brothers.

Wiki pedia says:

“The festival is marked by the tying of a rakhi, or holy thread, by the sister on the wrist of her brother. The brother in return offers a gift to his sister and vows to look after her as she presents sweets to her brother. The brother and sister traditionally feed one another sweets.

“It is not necessary that the rakhi be given only to a blood brother; any male can be “adopted” as a brother by tying a rakhi on the person, irrespective of whether he is a cousin or a good friend. Indian history is replete with women asking for protection, through rakhi, from men who were not their brothers, nor Hindus themselves.”

Bodhinatha give a rousing talk to the youth.

Bodhinatha receives his rakhi.
