Raksha Bandhan symbolizes the
love and affection between a brother and sister. It is a time to forgive and
forget, a time to let bygones be bygones and to look forward to a future of prosperity
and success. Raksha Bandhan literally means ‘bond of protection’ and it
signifies the strength of the brother who will protect his sister. Raksha
Bandhan or ‘rakhi’ as it is popularly known is celebrated on the full moon day
of the month of Shravan(August). This year Rakhi falls on the 7th of
August. On this day, girls tie a sacred thread on the forearms of their
brothers or male friends. The brothers are expected to gift their sisters
during this day. Both brothers and sisters exchange sweets to greet each other
on this special day.
History of Raksha Bandhan
There are many historical references to the
origin of the festival. The most famous of which is the one at the time of
Alexander the Great. When he conquered parts of Western India he was shaken by
the fury of King Puru of India. Seeing all of this, Alexander’s wife approached
Puru and tied a rakhi to him. Another story talks about Rani Karnavati, the
widowed queen of Chittor state, who sent a rakhi to Mughal Emperor Humayun as
she could not defend her kingdom against the apparent invasion by the Sultan of
Gujarat. Humayun was touched by the gesture and sent troops to Chittor to
protect it from the Sultan of Gujarat. Many such stories have emerged, where
queens have sent rakhis to their husbands adversaries, won hearts and stopped
wars.
Celebrations today
This festival is celebrated with
great pomp and gusto throughout the country. Brothers visit their married
sisters with a pooja thali in one hand and a gift in the other. The sister
begins by offering pooja and then tying the rakhi on the brother’s wrist. The
entire family then proceeds for a scrumptious feast after the ceremony.
Raksha Bandhan is a day we
remember the unbreakable bond between brother and sister. It helps us to
appreciate the sacrifices sisters make for their brothers and vice versa. This
festival is celebrated by Hindus across India and in immigrant Hindu
communities in Guyana, Suriname, Mauritius, Fiji and other countries. Many
Jains and Sikhs too celebrate this bond of togetherness and festivities. With
the coming months may you all have a healthy relationship of love, caring and
security.
This festive season bring joy and
celebrate the bond between brothers and sisters only with Cubber! Happy Raksha
Bandhan.
