Rakshabandhan – The Festival of Love
Rakshabandhan is celebrated in the month of Shravan on a full moon day by the Indian populace all over India. It is on 13th August, This is an acknowledgement to the unflinching support and immense strength sisters receive from their beloved brothers. It is a day when a brother and sister pray for each others’ health, wealth and happiness. The Rakhi festival in its own beautiful and unique way also helps rub off minor dissensions in the weld formed in the heat of emotions joining two people, the brother - ‘bhau’ as in Marathi, and his sister - ‘bahin’ as in Marathi.
The literal meaning of Raksha Bandhan is: ‘Raksha’ means protection and ‘Bandhan’ means the bond. Raksha bandhan means the bond that gives protection. Any relationship can be seen as a bond or bondage. The relationship between brothers and sisters is a loving and caring relationship which they share from the very beginning of their lives.
What is Rakhi and what is its Importance?
A Rakhi, meaning ‘the bond of love’, is also a symbol of the profound love sisters have for their brothers. It is also the blessings a sister showers selflessly on her brother. On this Rakshabandhan day, sisters tie the holy thread, Rakhi, on the wrist of their brothers and reinforce their faith in the basic philosophy behind Rakshabandhan – protect the weak from all that is evil. The brothers on their part take unsaid yet strong vows to protect their sisters through their thick and thin and pamper them with lots of Rakhi gifts.
Rakhi holds a significant place in the religious, cultural, social and climatic life of Indians. This strand, which pounds with idyllic commitment and transcendent feelings, is rightly called the ‘Rakhi’, meaning 'a bond of protection'.
Wishing you all Happy Raksha Bandhan!
