A Bond of Love Between Brothers and Sisters http://bharatbusiness.com/raksha-bandhan-a-bond-of-love-between-brothers-and-sisters/ http://bharatbusiness.com/raksha-bandhan-a-bond-of-love-between-brothers-and-sisters/#comments Tue, 17 Aug 2010 20:16:11 +0000 rachit http://bharatbusiness.com/raksha-bandhan-a-bond-of-love-between-brothers-and-sisters/ Nothing captures the essence of a relationship between a brother and sister like the wonderful Indian Festival ‘Raksha Bandhan’. Raksha means ‘to protect’, and Bandhan means ‘bond’, therefore Rakhi is a bond of protection. Each year on Rakhi day, sister tie a Rakhi or an amulet around their brother’s wrist as a protecting charm. They appeal to God to always protect her brother and bestow all happiness upon them.

Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu custom marking the love and affection between brothers and sisters. It is celebrated on “Shravan Sud Poornima” every year according to the Hindu calendar. A celebration of bonds between brother and sister, the family holiday of Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi) is celebrated in most Indian communities around the world.

On this auspicious day of Raksha Bandhan, sister visit their brother and sometimes brother is invited by sister for Rakhi celebrations. After performing Puja, sister applies a tilak on brother’s forehead and performs arti for him. She then ties a Rakhi on her brother’s wrist while praying for his long, healthy and happy life. Brother expresses his gratitude to sister for her affection and vow to protect her from all hardships in life. Brother and sister share a sweet and enjoy a harmonious time with rest of the family.

Festival of Raksha Bandhan also calls for celebrations and merriment. Brother pampers their sweet sisters by return gifts for her. This could be some cash or gifts like jewelry, apparel, cosmetics or household gift items. Sisters too depict love for their brothers by showering presents on them. They also prepare brothers favorite dishes. Those staying away from their siblings take help of the courier, postal and online Internet services to let each other know much they care for their brother/sister and wish to be together on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan.

Raksha Bandhan has retained its glory and sacred sensation in modern times too. Brothers and sisters wherever they may be make it a point to celebrate the occasion together. If they are far away, Raksha Bandhan gifts are sent through mail or online gifting sites. And even today, the meaning of custom remains beautifully intact.

September 2005 In Ladakh, India, on a high altitude plateau, many young women are choosing to become nuns, living in monasteries on the mountaintops. Aside from being afforded the opportunity to develop their spirituality, these young women are gaining some independence and freedom that they would otherwise not have had in their rural lives. The nuns are benefiting from efforts to improve their literacy and secular eduction, as well as the opportunity to use modern technology, including the internet!
