210 golden words of Swami Vivekananda

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 8 Aug 2008 00:28:00 -0700

GOLDEN WORDS OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
1. When there is a conflict between the heart and the brain, let the heart be followed.
2. A man of intellect can turn into a devil, but never a man of heart.
3. Religion is not a theoretical need but a practical necessity.
4. Renunciation does not mean simply dispassion for the world. It means dispassion for
the world and also longing for God.
5. There is no misery where there is no want.
6. The secret of life is not enjoyment, but education through experience.
7. Every new thought must create opposition.
8. Renunciation is the withdrawal of mind from other things and concentrating it on God.
9. Every man who thinks ahead of his time is sure to be misunderstood.
10. In this short life there is no time for the exchange of compliments.
11. Do not wait to cross the river when the water has all run down.
12. The greatest sin is fear.
13. Better the scolding of the wise than the adulation of the fools.
14. If you love God's creation more than God, you will be disillusioned.
15. Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth can't be sacrificed for anything.
16. God has become man, man will become god again.
17. If it is impossible to attain perfection here and now, there is no proof that we can
attain perfection in any other life.
18. That part of the Vedas which agrees with reason is the Vedas, and nothing else.
19. If you want to do anything evil, do it before the eyes of your superiors.
20. Happiness presents itself before man, wearing the crown of sorrow on its head.
21. If one is a slave to his passions and desires, one cannot feel the pure joy of real
freedom.
22. If you can't attain salvation in this life, what proof is there that you can attain it in the
life or lives to come?
23. Never mind if your contribution is only a mite, your help only a little, blades of grass
united into a rope will hold in confinement the maddest of elephants.
24. The cow never tells a lie, and the stone never steals, but, nevertheless, the cow
remains a cow and the stone remains a stone. Man steals and man tells a lie, and again it
is man that becomes the god.
25. When even man never hears the cries of the fool, do you think God will?
26. Strength is life, weakness is death.
27. Never are the wants of a beggar fulfilled.

the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one's own feet.

41. As we get further and further away from sense-pleasures, “knowledge for the sake of
knowledge” becomes the supreme pleasure of mind.

body. God is a circle whose circumference is nowhere, but whose center is everywhere.

excite in you the power of thinking for yourselves.

begun.

death.

56. The balance is so nice that if you disturb the equilibrium of one atom, the whole
world will come to an end.

60. Love to enemies is not possible for ordinary men.
61. Everything that comes from India take as true, until you cogent reasons for

6 Qualities of a Good Domain Name

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 21:08:00 -0700

Choosing a good domain name is crucial to the success or failure of your business. You may wonder how something so small and slight could have an impact on your business, but the best way to compare this is to think about how important location is to an offline business? If you do not have a good location, you are likely not going to get many visitors. The same holds true for a good domain name as well.
Here, you will discover the six qualities that a good domain name must have to ensure maximum success.
1.) Memorable
A good domain name must be memorable. Yes, we have the option of bookmarking a site that we enjoy; however, the hard truth is that many people do not take advantage of bookmarking. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that your domain name is one that is easy to remember and makes an impact. It should be easy, memorable, and straight forward.

Avoid complexity and it is usually a good idea to avoid initials in most cases. The only exception to this rule would be if the letters represented the website name or business and was still easy to remember.
2.) Short and Sweet
Twenty characters is the maximum that you should use for a good domain name, ten is even better. A long and complicated domain name is not going to help you. Your best bet is to keep it short and sweet. A great domain name is less than ten characters; a good domain name is less than twenty characters. A bad domain name goes over twenty characters.
3.) Be Choosy On Your Extension
There are several domain extensions available to you such as .com, .net, .org, .tv, .info, .gov and so on. However, some of these work better than others and are more memorable at the same time. It is important to understand that some extensions also have restrictions such as .gov is reserved specifically for government websites. The .com domain name extension is the best by far, because it is the most widely used.
The .net extension is the second best, but be prepared most people will type .com before they will .net if they cannot remember which extension you use. The type of extension you use might also have a bearing on the type of website. Some people have come to expect certain things when a particular extension. For example, .org is typically used by not-for-profit organization and educational websites. The .info extensions are generally used for informational websites.
4.) Spelling Means Everything
Having a difficult to spell domain name could cause you some trouble. Again, many do not even make use of bookmarks; therefore, if your domain name is hard to spell, they may end up at a competitor's website.

A good domain name contains only words that are easy to pronounce, have a good combination of words or letters that are used in every day language, and does not contain foreign words that may be difficult to non-native speakers.
5.) Tells a Story
A good domain name should be descriptive and tell a story. In other words, when your visitors, customers, or potential customers see your domain name they should instantly be able to tell what they are going to find. For instance, if it is your business, a business name is good.
6.) Avoid Fancy Symbols
It is never a good idea to use numbers or hyphens within your domain name. Even if your domain name is memorable, many people will not pay attention to the symbols, which could lead them to someone else's website.

Top 10 Internet Marketing Tips For Your Home Based Business

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 20:33:00 -0800

1. Research, Research, Research.
Before starting any new business, find a market that is going to be profitable. Sit down, identify some of your areas of interest. Use keyword research to get to know the desires of your potential customers. Get to know your market well, and limit your investment until you know it will be a success.
2. Stand out from the crowd.
Don't choose a market that is already saturated if you are just starting out. Chances of failing are higher, and this can be disheartening. Choose a market that you can easily dominate, with competition that is either poor or limited.
3. Information marketing.
If you are able to produce a simple book that fills a need, this is a lucrative method of making money. E-books require no ongoing production expenses and can be an almost 100% profit margin.
4. Persistence and Discipline.
Internet marketing requires commitment of time to sit down and do some work every day. It does not need to be for long, but you do need to do it. Nothing happens with big dreams but no action.
5. Be an Expert
Get to know you niche well. Use forums to gain a better understanding. Write lots of articles and begin to get your name branded as an expert in that field. Submit blogs and articles to directories to start to create traffic back to your site.
6. Try before you buy.
When using pay per click or other forms of advertising write multiple campaigns. Test these for response before committing money to this. Target buyers only. Lots of visitors or clicks do not mean sales conversions.
7. Learn to write good copy.
There are lots of great books and advice out there to write compelling copy for your product. It must be attention grabbing and able to maintain interest.
8. Capture emails
List building is essential. Without this you are unable to continue to contact your target market to advise them of you products, or more importantly what benefits they offer them. Also, providing good quality content emails with information and advice (no sales) builds trust.
9. Joint Venture
There is no better way to develop cross promotion and get other people working for you than to establish joint venture relationships. By offering a fair share of the profits to owners of websites or complimentary products, you can significantly increase your profits with very little additional effort.
10. Knowledge is power.
There are many ways to approach internet marketing, but to be successful you need to have good systems in place. Find an honest and well known mentor, and consider purchasing a good quality education program. If you are new, do your research well as there is lots of misinformation out there as well as fantastic programs.

7 Social Networks where you can get Relevant Links

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 20:04:00 -0800

by: Esteban Panzera
When getting links, the most important thing is to get them on pages that are relevant to our website’s content. Sometimes it can be difficult to get this kind of links, so what we can do is generate new pages that are relevant to our website’s content and link from them to our site. This way we would be getting one way relevant links, but the problem is that the new pages wouldn’t have any authority, so what we can use is social networks to accomplish this task. Here I will show you 7 social networks where you can get relevant links:
Flickr
On Flickr, you can add links as a description of the images, and you can also add them to your profile page, but I would recommend the first option.To do this, you have to create an account at Flickr (or log in if you already have one) and go to Upload Photos, there you would have to pick the photo you would like to upload (this doesn’t matter, just make it public), and then choose a Title (your keywords here), and on the description you would have to add a link to your site using HTML.
Keywords on Title: YesKeywords between heading tags: YesAble to choose anchor text: YesDo-follow link: YesIn-Content Link: YesKeywords in URL: Yes
LinkedIn
On LinkedIn you just have to create a new account and fill the details using the keyword you want to rank for on First Name and Second Name fields. Both mixed should make the keyword you want to rank for.After that just go to the My Profile tab and click on add website, there click on other from the dropdown and choose the Title and URL you want for your link.
Keywords on Title: YesKeywords between heading tags: YesAble to choose anchor text: YesDo-follow link: YesIn-Content link: NoKeywords in URL: Yes
Stage6
On Stage6 we will be getting a link from our profile page, but you can also get one from Videos, the process is more or less the same. First we will create an account and as username we will use the keywords we want to rank for (if it is more than 1 separate them with an underscore “_”). After you have completed the account creation click on the edit profile button and enter your link and any text you may want to add to the about page (the link can’t be added using HTML, instead you will have to use this [http://www.urlhere.com Anchor Text Here]).
Keywords on Title: YesKeywords between heading tags: YesAble to choose anchor text: YesDo-follow link: YesIn-Content link: YesKeywords in URL: Yes
Del.icio.us
On Del.icio.us, the social bookmarking site, we have to create a new account using as username the keywords we want to target. Again, if it is more than 1 word we have to separate it using an underscore “_”. Then just click on the post link and enter the details for your link, use Description as Anchor Text.
Keywords on Title: YesKeywords between heading tags: YesAble to choose anchor text: YesDo-follow link: YesIn-Content Link: NoKeywords in URL: Yes
Squidoo
On Squidoo create a new account (or login if you already have one), and create a new lens. As title use the keywords you want to rank for and choose an URL using the keywords you want to target. Then on text list, just add some text with your link or just your link, you can add more information if you want to make the page richer. Finally click on publish.
Keywords on Title: YesKeywords between heading tags: YesAble to choose anchor text: YesDo-follow link: YesIn-Content Link: YesKeywords in URL: Yes
Mixx
On Mixx you will have to create a new account as you will be getting the link from your profile, use the keywords you are targeting as your nickname and once more separate them with an underscore “_”. After creating your account go to the Your account page and add your site’s URL on the “Have a website? What’s the URL?” field, click on submit and you are done.
Keywords on Title: YesKeywords between heading tags: YesAble to choose anchor text: NoDo-follow link: YesIn-Content Link: NoKeywords in URL: Yes
Reddit
On Reddit we will get a link from our profile page, so go and create a new account using the keywords you are targeting (remember the underscore “_” thing) and submit your website by clicking on the submit link. Add your website as if you were adding a normal bookmark, when you finish just click send.
Keywords on Title: YesKeywords between heading tags: NoAble to choose anchor text: YesDo-follow link: YesIn-Content Link: NoKeywords in URL: Yes
The best thing you can do to get the most out of this links would be registering a new domain and linking to all this profile pages using the keyword you are targeting as anchor text, you would then have to get some links to the new domain to get some authority to it.

How search Engines Connect Sellers and Buyers

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 21:11:00 -0800

Maggie knows how to find what she wants. She lets her fingers do the walking – not in the Yellow Pages, but at Google.com. She wants to learn about bread baking, and you have just written Bread Baking Made Simple, and you sell some great baking tools. The good news is the Google and other search engines exist for one simple reason: to help Maggie find your website.

Google will show Maggie 534,000 resources on "bread baking". Unless she fails to find what she wants on the first page, or top 10 results, she will never find your website listed 124th in the results. (Actually, if she does not find what she wants in the top twenty or thirty results, she is likely to refine her search to "easy bread baking" or "home bread baking").
How do you get into the top 10 results so Maggie can find your website? You might have heard a lot about "search engine optimization" and "ranking analysis" and "algorithms". It all sounds very complex, but it really works on a simple 1 – 2 – 3 principle.

1. A search engine will show Maggie only resources (websites) it has on record. So make sure to submit your site to the key search engines and directories. You do not need to hire somebody who will charge you big dollars to do this. Nor should you fall for any of the auto-submit software or services. This should be done by hand, and anybody can do it. You can do it yourself.
2. The search engine will rank highest those websites it feels are most "important". This means you have to show that your website is most important. There are a few simple things you can do. First, make sure you have content. Text content equals importance on the Internet. Links, both coming in and going out, are key. Connectivity equals importance on the Internet. Get listed in the major directories (DMOZ.com, Yahoo.com, Zeal.com, JoeAnt.com, etc.), as this also is a measure of importance.

3. The search engine will show Maggie the most "relevant" high-ranking resources. Google might rank http://TheHappyGuy.com relatively very high, but it is totally irrelevant to a search for bread baking. How does a search engine know which websites are most relevant for Maggie's search? By the number of times "bread baking" shows up in text on your web page. By the variety of ways it shows up on your page. By number web pages you link to and that link to you with the words "bread baking" included.

Are you ready to roll? Possibly. Some of this you can easily do yourself. But there are three places that are worth spending money to help all the Maggies out there find your website and your book.

The first is choosing the right keywords. It might look simple, but "bread baking" might not even be the best keyword phrase to focus on. It might be "easy bread baking" or "home bread baking". The most searched terms might not be the best, nor the term with the least competition.

The second is to prepare a link strategy. The "link exchange" pages that are getting more popular each day are also becoming less effective each day. Here are just a few of the linking factors that will affect whether Maggie discovers your book:

* The total number of incoming and outgoing links
* The importance of the sites you link to and from
* The relevancy of the sites you link to and from
* Which pages on their sites and on yours are being linked
* What you include in the incoming and outgoing links
* Where on the page the links are placed
* How many links are on those pages
* How many pages are linked to or have outgoing links
* The ratio of links to content on the pages involved

You can implement the strategy yourself, but it is worth hiring somebody to put it together for you. Ask the person what factors she would consider when building a strategy for you. If she does not mention several of the above, your money is better spent elsewhere.

Investors lose trillions; FM says don't panic

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 01:45:00 -0800

Finance Minister P Chidambaram sought to calm investors panicked by a meltdown of over 2,000 points on Tuesday morning leading to suspension of trading, saying that enough liquidity would be provided to market players.
Investors lost over Rs 6 lakh crore (Rs 6 trillion) within minutes of the opening of the Bombay Stock Exchange on Tuesday.
"I am assured by the Reserve Bank of India [Get Quote] and all the banks that enough liquidity will be provided to brokers and market players. Liquidity will not be an issue," Chidambaram said.
Ahead to his visit to Davos for participating in the World Economic Forum, Chidambaram exuded confidence that investors would return to market as fundamentals of the economy were strong.
"Worries of western world should not be allowed to overwhelm us... our economy is very different from some economies of developed countries. Our economy is a strong economy and corporate sector is very strong," he said after the exchange authorities suspended trading within minutes after the bourses witnessed a sharp plunge.
Even after the market opened at 1100 hours, the sentiments were heavily toward sell and within an hour the BSE Sensex was reading down by over 2200 points.
To a query, Chidambaram said there is no ground for sentiments to be negative in the long run as fundamentals of Indian economy are strong.
"We will grow at nine per cent this year. Even Rangarajan Committee (Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council) has said we will grow at 8.5 per cent next year," the finance minister said.
Banks have reported that investments in the economy are running very high as the demand for credit is strong, he said.
"RBI has stated that investment in pipeline is also strong. Fundamentals (of the economy) are very sound. Corporate profits are high and corporate income tax is at an all-time high," he said.
When asked whether institutions would be advised to buy stocks at this moment, Chidambaram said: "We are not advising institutions to do this or that. Institutions are good judge of what are valuations today."
However, he said analysts and advisers have advised investors to stay calm. "I am sure investors will take informed and matured decisions and not give any room to unwarranted apprehensions and market rumours," he added.
In the morning, stock market suspended trading for an hour after the benchmark Sensex hit the lower circuit limit.

Upgrade your Google Analytics tracker

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 19:56:00 -0800

Google released a new version of its Google Analytics tracking code in December after a two-month limited beta. The new Google Analytics tracker is a complete rewrite of JavaScript inherited from the Urchin acquisition in 2005 and the first time the two products have been officially decoupled. The existing version of Google Analytics tracker, urchin.js, has been deprecated but should continue to function until the end of 2008. Google will only roll out new features on the new ga.js tracker. If you currently track website statistics using Google Analytics you should upgrade your templates to take advantage of the new libraries.

What changed?

The new Google Analytics tracker supports proper JavaScript namespacing and more intuitive configuration methods (e.g. _setDomainName instead of _udn). My tests show about a 100 ms faster execution even with a 24% increase (1514 bytes) in file size (ga.js is also minified).
The new tracking code makes advanced features a lot more accessible. You can now track a page on multiple Google Analytics accounts, which should help user generated content sites integrate their author's Google Analytics IDs alongside the company's own tracking account. The new event tracker lets you group a set of on-page related actions such as clicking a drop-down menu or typing a search query (very useful for widgets). Ecommerce tracking is now a lot more readable. You can read about all the tracker changes in the Google Analytics migration guide PDF.

Implementation
Switching your site tracker is pretty simple. Trackers are now created as objects and configured before the page is tracked.

That's it. You are now running the new Google Analytics tracker. You'll need to swap in your Analytics account and profile IDs, which should be pretty easy to spot in your existing code.

Summary

Google Analytics tracking code is completely rewritten for faster on-page behavior that plays well with others. The old tracker will be deprecated within a year, and new features are only available to users running the new code. Existing Google Analytics users should swap out their tracking code to take full advantage of this free stats tool.

Google's Android SDK Comes Alive

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 20:24:00 -0800

Google took several steps to goose interest in its yet-to-be-released Android platform for mobile phones today. The Open Handset Alliance, sponsored by Google and others, released a software development kit for Android. Google also hopes to stir up developer interest with a coding cook-off that will give out $10 million in awards.

Within hours of its release, the Android SDK had become "one of the most downloaded items ever" off Google's developer site, according to company spokesman Barry Schnitt. The toolkit, which included an emulator for software testing and a plugin for the Eclipse development tool, drew immediate reactions from developers ranging from "phenomenally cool" to "a bit disappointing".

The toolkit is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license, opening it up for wide repackaging with other developer tools. Google's Schnitt said that thus far there are no application tool partnerships to announce; however, the toolkit comes with an Eclipse plugin, so it is ready to integrate into many Java development environments.

Google Does it Right with Open Platforms

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 20:23:00 -0800

Google's vision of creating open platforms for both OpenSocial (using a single API) and Android (Open Handset Alliance) is absolutely genius. Not only does it help Google competitively but it also helps create a stronger user experience and a strong support community. Here are some of the major benefits to open platforms such as OpenSocial and Android:

User Experience: Allowing developers to design applications on top of your platform provides the ability for users to have unique experiences tailored specifically for them. From a mobile perspective there will now potentially be a thousand different versions of the same operating system each tweaked slightly so that it fits the owners needs. Furthermore it will allow people to share the coolest parts of their user experience across all networks.

Standardization: With numerous partners involved in both OpenSocial and Android, developers have a standardized way of creating applications for users without having to worry about platform. The standard platform also helps define documentation, procedures and application sharing.

Cost: Open platforms always tend to be far less expensive than mainstream/off the shelf products. With platforms such as Android in place, users will notice a cut in cost compared to hand helds operating systems like Windows Mobile and Palm OS.

Innovation: Giving developers the access to such powerful and flexible platforms will encourage increased innovation as they compete to develop the next killer application.

Support: Open Platforms (1 common base) equals Thousands of Developers which equals the amount of support available for applications and configuration that are built on top of the platform.
The one thing that might raise some concern is what will happen with the quality of products with the amount of applications that will likely be developed and the power completely in the hands of the users to install them. I would hate to see an uproar due to privacy or security concerns .

When Gmail's spam filters are working perfectly

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 21:46:00 -0700

When Gmail's spam filters are working perfectly, no one talks to us anti-spam engineers. But as soon as something goes wrong, our users, our friends, and even our Google colleagues who use Gmail for their corporate mail are sure to tell us. That's just the way we like it. Spam is not something people should grow numb to and accept as a fact of life. We *want* people to complain. That's the only way things get better.

Using Articles for SEO - Creating Your Title

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 10:08:00 -0700

Titles for People ... and Search EnginesThe title you create for your article is important for two reasons. First, the title plays a big role with search engines. And secondly, the title determines how much your article gets read and published.

Here's the secret: Be sure to include your key search phrases at the beginning of your title. If you put them at the end of the title, it will greatly reduce your search engine visibility. Here's why:

When you publish your article through an article distribution site, the title of your article will become the title of the actual web page. In other words, your article will become an individual web page within the article directory's website. And from a web coding standpoint, your article title is also the page's title.

How to Write an Enticing Title
I'm going to share an article writing secret with you. If you want to learn how to create titles that draw people into the article, pick up a copy of Reader's Digest. I don't subscribe to Reader's Digest, but I read the cover every time I'm in line at the grocery store.

Why? Because the Digest knows a thing or two about irresistible titles. In fact, the cover of each issue is nothing more than a list of article titles. And it's worth mentioning at this point that Reader's Digest is one of the best-selling publications on the planet! Pay particular attention to their "how to" titles and articles.

Tying it All Together
Combining all these factors is not as difficult as you might think. For example, let's say you want to focus on the phrase "business blogging" and your target audience is the corporate executive type. You could incorporate that key phrase into an enticing title in any number of ways:

Biggest mistakes with do it yourself SEO

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 9 Sep 2007 03:42:00 -0700

I read and evaluate hundreds of websites a month. Some sites I read for information, some are my own, some are blogs, messageboards and so on. The rest are from people who request a free SEO site evaluation from my company. Some are from large corporations and others are from mid-sized companies, but almost 50% of the evaluations requested are from do-it-yourselfer's.

There is so much information available on SEO and SEM. Everywhere you turn there is another article on SEO. One thing I often notice is many people suffer from information overload. They try to read everything they can find and in many situations, they try everything they read. Some of that information is either outdated or ineffective. Some of these self SEO'ers simply don't use what they read effectively. I have taken some of the most common mistakes and listed will explain them for you here. Hopefully, this will help you correct any problems on your site.

Keyword research: Many people have no idea that it's even necessary. I have seen website owners attempt to optimize for key terms that do not even exist. One gentleman created a new product that no one has even heard of. The only marketing he was doing was SEO and some PPC. You can't optimize for the product name only when no one has ever heard of your product. If no one has heard of it, how will they search for it? They won't. The research needs to be done to determine what keyphrases people would type to find what your product is offering or related to.

Bad web design: This one really gets to me. This is one I see more than any other. People hiring a web design firm or DIYing it before fully understanding what SEO is. The way most strictly online businesses begin is by someone deciding that they want to create a website online. Then they have one built. Then they learn about how to promote it and how search engines are used. The problem there is, if their site is not SEO friendly (meaning clean urls, not in frames, not 100% Flash and other search engine indexing problems), it will hurt their ability to rank well. Many people don't find this out until after they have their site built. This can cost a new website owner a lot of money. Educated yourself. Do not rely on the web designer to tell you about SEO and what you need to know to have a SEO friendly site. Many web designers are just designers. They have no interest in what is SEO friendly or not. Do all your research before you have a site built and find a web design that can provide what you need for your site and the search engines.

Hidden text: This one still amazes me. That method hasn't worked since Ebert sat next to Siskel. Why do people still try these old methods? They read old articles, blog entrys or messageboards. They think doing things unnaturally will help them in the natural listings. If you don' know this yet, you do now. It doesn't work.

Repeating words too often: This one gets overlooked a lot. Let's say for example you sold tickets. Now let's say your menu is all HTML (links). Your menu may read something like this; Hockey tickets, Boxing tickets, Wrestling tickets and so on. Now if you have fifty events and you have tickets after every one, you could run into a lot of problems. Especially if you wanted to come up on the search engines on any phrase with the words tickets in it. There are a lot of other factors that would need to be considered as well, such as the length of content on the page, off site SEO, etc. If this was a typical site, it would hurt your rankings in the SERP's.

This is just a small portion of problems I see. Hopefully, you can learn to avoid common SEO mistakes. Unless you are SEO savvy, it's almost always better to hire a professional if you can afford to. I know that isn't always possible. Also, try to get your information and tips from reliable sources. It will save you a lot of back tracking.

Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 14:25:00 -0700

Why Rakhi?
Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi is of great significance in Indian cultural ethos. It is a festival signifying the essence of the relationship between a brother and a sister. Like any other Indian festival, Rakhi is the celebration of togetherness and love. Raksha Bandhan means bond of protection . It is the affection, admiration, love, fondness, respect and emotional bonding between a brother and a sister that is the meaning of rakhi festival.
The festival falls on the Shravan Purnima which is a full moon day of shravan month and which comes generally in the month of August. On this day, the sisters tie a 'rakhi' or a 'thread' on their brother's wrist and pray for their well being and brothers in return promise to protect their sister from all kinds of problems and difficulties. There is also the custom of giving a gift by the brother to the sister after tying the rakhi.
