Raksha Bandhan

How we love our sweet little sister! Happy Raksha Bandhan, everyone!


Sanatan Culture defines every relationship as a divine bond between members of a family, which ultimately generates a sense of having natural obligations to each other and makes the family live comfortably. Father loves his son and daughter and brings them up, so does a mother; but the relationship between a brother and his sister is such that involves deep feelings and self-sacrificing attributes. A sister cares for her brother and a brother can do anything to protect his sister. 

Bhaiya is used to describe someone that one feel a great affection for. But it exceeds every level of feeling when our sister calls us Bhaiya. We feel a surge of emotion at the thought of Raksha Bandhan; then as our most loving sister ties Raksha around our wrist, we fail to hide the warm feelings that we are overcome with. It is not the reshmi string but the love itself: the pious love between a brother and his sister. It is a carrier that transports our sister’s best wishes for our long and safe life. 

Pious Raksha Bandhan teaches us to consider every young woman as our sister, except for the ones who are married to us. If every young man is a brother and every young woman a sister, there would be no problem. May this Raksha Bandhan spread its emotional message across the country and bring our brothers and sisters love, life and happiness!
