Hello Friends,
Let us discuss & wish the festival of joy.
Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi is celebrated on a full moon day in the month of Shravan holy month of Hindus according to the Hindu calendar because of which this festival is also known as Shravan Purnima. On the occasion of Rakshabandhan, the bond of affection between brothers and sisters is Expressed. It is typically a Hindu festival but nowadays people from different faiths celebrate it too. On this day, Sisters tie a sacred thread or a colorful special band, rightly called the 'Rakhi' on their brothers' wrist as a mark of affection and sisterly love. The brothers in return promise to protect their sisters and offer them gifts. Not only siblings but also cousins and friends celebrate this festival with each other.
'Raksha' means protection and 'Bandhan' means binding or bound. Prosperous Indian mythology provides many religious reasons to celebrate the day. The festival is mentioned in most of the Indian epics and its origin can be traced back to the mythological times. The practice of tying thread was traditionally prevalent in Indian history.
The festival is celebrated in different forms in different areas and is also known by different names. As per traditions, on this day the sister prepares the Puja Thali with a Diya, Rice, and Rakhis. She worships the Gods, ties Rakhi to her brother and prays for his well-being and long life. In return, the brother accepts the love with a promise to protect her sister and gives her a gift. Traditionally, they then share and eat sweets. This festival strengthens the bond of love between the sisters and brothers.
Brahmins change their Janeu, revive their religious vows and read Vedas - which is the sacred text. Raksha Bandhan is also a time when Brahmins change their sacred thread 'Janeu'. It is not an ordinary thread but has much significance. The knots of the Janeu is important as they symbolize the Gods of the Hindu religion.
Best Wishes & Happy Rakshabandhan To all.
