Importance of Raksha bandhan
Raksha bandhan is considered an important and historical festival among Indian festivals. It started millions of years ago during the war between gods and demons. At that time, on the day of Shravan Purnima, Maharani Shachi, wife of Devraj Indra, tied a Rakshasutra consecrated with Vedic mantras on the hand of her husband Indra and freed him from enemies and with the power of this Rakshasutra, Indra conquered his enemies.
With the change of time, this Rakshasutra started being tied by sisters to brothers. This Rakhi, which was a symbol of protecting the good fortune of a woman in the past, has today turned into a sacred love bond between brother and sister. This Rakhi has always brought success in war, it is the great mantra of unity. Everyone should celebrate it with great enthusiasm.
Story of Shri Krishna and Draupadi
Once Lord Shri Krishna’s hand was hurt, Draupadi immediately tore her sari and tied it on Shri Krishna‘s hand. Indebted to this bond, Shri Krishna saved Draupadi’s honour when Dushasan was pulling her sari.
There are thousands of stories of Rakhi threads, in which brothers happily put their lives at stake for their sisters. Rakshabandhan gave a new inspiration, showed a new path.
