Raksha Bandhan

 



Rakhi is a holy thread of love & protection. Raksha Bandhan is a festival which is celebrated in the month of Shravan in all parts of India.



This is the festival of love between brother & sister. Sisters tie a colorful silk thread to their brother’s wrist which is also known as ‘Raksha Sutra’ & brother gives a promise to his sister to protect her for a whole life. It’s a heart-touching sentiments for each other. It fortifies the bond between brother & sister. It is not only the band but that represents the love & affection for each other with a relationship of friendship.



Sisters pray for the happiness, joy, prosperity & safety of their brothers. One of the deepest & noblest of human emotion is the bond of love. “Raksha Bandhan” symbolizes protection & signifies that strong must protect & serve the weak & those in need.



This is a human relation among all members of the community. They pledge to protect each other & society. Some people celebrate Raksha Bandhan by tying a Rakhi on the wrists of close friends & neighbors & soldiers of the Indian army who protect us & the brothers of the country. This festival is not linked with any one religion, any particular community but it is a festival of humanity. The tying of Rakhi is not confined to brothers and sisters only. It could also be tied by a disciple to the guru This Band does not have to be between blood - relatives only. A girl might adopt a boy as her brother and tie Rakhi to his wrist. Some people who love nature and much more valuable thing for human life, they adopt forest, trees, well & tie Rakhi to protect & save them.



It is said that Alexander’s wife tied a Rakhi to Puru to protect her husband, yet another example is that of Humayun & Karnavati. This festival is of security & respect, respect for all living & non - living beings in the world.
