Rakhi Significance

The festival of Rakhi has undergone many changes. Although today Rakhi celebrations centers on the brother-sister relationship, it was not always so. In the olden days the Rakhi thread was tied for protection or Raksha. Anybody, a wife, a daughter or a mother could tie this Rakhi thread. The Rishis tied Rakhi on the wrist of the people who came seeking for their blessings. The sages also use to tie this sacred thread to themselves to safe guard them from evil. This day is generally a day when all sins end and blessings are showered on all.

Although Rakhi signifies the bond between a brother and a sister but it is also a symbol of warmth and compassion shared between the communities as a whole. Some people tie Rakhi to neighbors and close friends signifying the special bond shared between the two.

Rakhi Legends

2006-08-02T04:25:00.000-07:00

Rakhi or Raksha Bandhan is a very traditional festival and has many legends associated with it. Today Rakhi is a festival celebrating the religious bond between a brother and a sister, but let's take a closer look how the festival of Rakhi came about. Here are some of the important legends associated with Raksha Bandhan.

Origin of Rakhi

Rakhi festival is celebrated in the Shravana month or the month of monsoon. This month is considered to be a very pious month and the full month or poornima of this month is a very holy day. This Rakhi poornima is celebrated in different ways throughout the country.

For the brothers and sisters, it is the day commemorates the eternal tie of love, Brahmins on this day take the pledge of Brahmanik rites and for farmers it is the beginning of the new season.

There are many epics related to the celebrations of Rakhi. The festival is described in the epics and dates back to the mythological Pouranik times.

The legend in the Bhavishya Puran

This legend describes a war between the Gods and the Demons. The demon King Brutra was advancing and the Gods lead by lord Indra, were on the defeating end. The king of Gods, Indra approached Guru Brihaspati to seek a solution. Brihaspati asked Indra to tie a sacred thread on his wrist, powered by the sacred mantras on the Shravan Purnima. Lord Indra's Queen Sachi also called Indrani, empowered the thread and tied it on to his hand on the rakhi poornima day. The power of the sacred thread called Raksha helped the Gods to victory.

The legend of King Bali and Goddess Laxmi

Another legend associated to this day is of King Bali and Goddess Laxmi. Demon King Bali was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu had promised to guard his kingdom leaving his own abode in Vaikunth. Goddess Laxmi wished to be with her lord back in her abode. She went to Bali disguised as a Brahmin woman to seek refuge till her husband came back.

During the Shravan Purnima celebrations, Laxmiji tied the sacred thread to the King. Upon being asked she revealed who she was and why she was there. The king was touched by her goodwill for his family and her purpose and requested the Lord to accompany her. He sacrificed all he had for the Lord and his devoted wife.

Thus the Rakhi festival is also called Baleva that is Bali Raja's devotion to the Lord. It is said that since then it has been a tradition to invite sisters in Shravan Purnima for the thread tying ceremony or the Raksha Bandhan.

Yama and the Yamuna

It is said that the Raksha Bandhan was a ritual followed by Lord Yama (the Lord of Death) and his sister Yamuna. Yamuna tied Rakhi to Yama and gave him immortality. Yama was so moved by the serenity of the occasion that he declared that whoever gets a Rakhi tied from his sister and promised her protection will become immortal.

Raksha Bandhan in the Epics

Raksha Bandhan festival is mentioned in Mahabharata when Lord Krishna advised Yudhishthir to perform the ceremony to protect himself and the army from the dangers of the war. It is said that Kunti, the mother of the Pandavas tied Rakhi to her grandson Abhimanyu and Draupadi to lord Krishna.

History of Raksha Bandhan

2006-08-01T05:52:00.000-07:00

There are many legends associated with the Indian festival - Rakhi. Different heroes in Indian mythology and history with whom Raksha Bandhan is associated are as below:

Indra: According to legend Indra found himself being defeated by the demon king or Daitya Raja. On the advice of his Guru Brihaspati, his consort tied a Raksha on Indra's wrist and this helped him accomplish victory against the demon king.

Yudhishtra: The eldest of the Pandavas is believed to have asked Krishna, how to protect himself, before the epic battle of the Mahabharata. Lord Krishna instructed him that he would be protected by the beneficial power of the Rakhi.

Alexander: When Alexander invaded the Indian subcontinent in 326 B.C. he had to fight many battles against the rulers of kingdoms in the North West. Alexander's wife is believed to have tied a Rakhi to the king Puru/ Porus. In return he is believed to have promised to protect her and her husband. In battle when he had the opportunity to strike Alexander, his promise is believed to have restrained him from delivering a fatal blow.

Humayun: During Mughal times the custom of tying Rakhi helped bind the Hindu Rajputs and the Mughal rulers of Delhi together. According to legend, when Bahadur Shah of Gujarat attacked Rani Karnavati of Chittor, she sent a Rakhi to Humayun and requested him to help. He tried to come to her aid but was too late, Chittor had already fallen and the Rani had immolated herself in the Rajput custom of Jauhar.

In present day times women have used the tradition of Rakhi as a way of deflecting unwanted attention and some women politicians have maintained political relationships with other leaders, by tying Rakhi on them. The different ways, in which the custom of Rakhi is followed today, shows the continued consequence of Raksha Bandhan in today's world.

Rakhi Day is Righteous Day
by President of India – “A. P. J. Abdul Kalam”

This full moon day our hearts are in brim
Feeling of faith and serenity in mind.
We light the lamps and our hear glow
Radiance of happiness and peace are in flow.
Harmonious homes are like streams of joy
Flowing and flourishing the landscape en route.
Nobility in heart and character in deed
Righteous homes alone make a beautiful State.
Sisters will tie the thread on the brothers
abiding them to do only what is right and clean.
Put the Kumkum and blessed rice on the head
Where will dwell right thoughts and noble action.

A Brother Just Like You
I just want to let you know
You mean the world to me
Only a heart as dear as yours
Would give so unselfishly

The many things you've done
All the times that you were there
Help me know deep down inside
How much you really care

Even though I might not say
I appreciate all you do
Richly blessed is how I feel
Having a brother just like you

A Sister Like You
Someone who will understand
Who knows the way I feel
In every situation
Her concern is very real

Someone who has walked my ways
Who knows my every need
Times when she would see me cry
Her heart would nearly bleed

Everyone should have a sister
Just the way I do
Richly blessed is what I am
To have a sister like you
A Sister is Forever
by Bruce B. Wilmer

A sister's a sister forever,
A bond that diminishes never,
A friend who is kindly and caring,
A sibling God chooses for sharing.
Few ties as deep and profound
And with so much affection abound
Though some thoughts are seldom expressed
Love endures and survives every test.
Of the constants that rest in the heart,
A sister's a primary part.
She'll always be there when you need her-
You listen, you value, you heed her.
As growth, independence you ponder,
Your feelings grow deeper and fonder;
And life tells you one thing that is true:
A sister's a large part of you.

Here's To My Brother
Here's to my brother
Remember every day
No matter what I've said
Here's what I'd like to say
I will always love you
Be with you till the end
When no one else is around
I will be your friend
I love my brother
and I always will
I'm proud to be your brother
that's how I feel
And someday when we're far away
And the miles keep us apart
I'm gonna whisper
I love my brother
And you'll know it in your heart
