History of Happy Raksha Bandhan
India is a nation with rich culture and customs, a place where there is fairs and celebrations. One of the celebrations celebrated here is Raksha Bandhan, which is the celebration of siblings and sisters. It falls on the Purnima or full moon day of the Shravan month of the Hindu timetable. On this day, sisters tie a rakhi, a promising string, on the wrist of her sibling, wishing him the best in his life. Consequently, the sibling presents his sister with blessings and guarantees to secure her for whole life. This is an antiquated celebration, which has a few myths and legends related with it.
The legend of Raksha Bandhan back to the time of Bhavishya Purana. As indicated by the Hindu folklore, when Indra, the God of sky and rains was going for the war amongst Gods and Demons, his wife Shachi tied a sacred thread around his wrist for protection. Indra emerged victorious in the war and this reinforced the magical powers of the thread, which came to be known as happy rakhi. Later, the tying of the thread changed context, from husband and wife relation to that of a brother and sister.
Another legend associates the festival to Goddess Lakshmi and King Bali as Lakshmi tied a rakhi to the king and made him her brother. There is another story about Lord Ganesha and his sons Shubh and Labh, who wanted a sister to tie them rakhi. It was then that Lord Ganesh created a daughter out of divine flames and she came to be known as Santoshi Maa. Draupadi also tied a rakhi to Lord Krishna and the latter protected her from the Kauravas during the Cheer Harana in Mahabharata. Besides mythology, the festival finds a place in history too. It is said that Rani Karnavati of Chittor sent a rakhi to King Humayun asking for his help during the invasion on her kingdom. True to the honor of rakhi, Humayun set off his troops to help her overthrow the invasion. There is also a story of King Alexander’s wife sending a rakhi to King Porus. In return, Porus refrained from killing Alexander in the battlefield. Centries later to these legends, the festival continues to be celebrated with the same joy and devotion.
Importance of Happy Raksha Bandhan
Actually interpreted, Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi implies the consecrated thread of protection and this is the extremely importance and noteworthiness of this festival. It reinforces the bonding and love between brothers and sisters. Every year, sisters tie this sacred knot on their brothers’ wrists, praying for their honor, prosperity and well being.
