Rakhi or Raksha is a
sacred thread embellished with sister's love and affection for her
brother. On the day of Raksha Bandhan sisters tie Rakhi on their
brother's wrist and express their love for him. By accepting a Rakhi
from a sister a brother gladly takes on the responsibility of protecting
her sister. In Indian tradition the frail thread of Rakhi is considered
stronger than iron chains as it binds brothers and sisters in an
inseparable bond of love and trust.
Rakhi Festival is celebrated
both in India and different parts of world with fervour and
enthusiasm. The day is celebrated with sister's tying rakhi on their
brother's wrist, performing arti and also praying for their long
life. In turn, brothers vow to protect their sisters and come for
their rescue in times of need. This custom has been there since time
immemorial.
Rakhi holds immense significance
in Indian cultural ethos. The custom of celebrating Rakhi started in
Vedic times and even today brothers and sisters consider it must to
celebrate the occasion in traditional manner. When brothers are away
sisters send Rakhi to them and express their love. Accepting the
Rakhi with grace brothers send Return gifts to their sister. This
loving gesture goes a long way in strengthening brother sister
relationship and building stronger family ties. The importance of
Raksha Bandhan is same as
Diwali festival
in India.
I know some sisters who only see each other on Mother's Day and some who will never speak again. But most are like my sister and me... linked by volatile love, best friends who make other best friends ever so slightly less best.
- Patricia Volk
Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship.
- Margaret Mead
A sibling may be the keeper of one’s identity, the only person with the keys to one’s unfettered, more fundamental self.
- Marian Sandmaier
Since ages Raksha bandhan is
celebrated with fervor and joy all across India. This festival
epitomizes the unconditional love between brothers and sisters. The
preparations start at least a fortnight before the festival. It is
the time for buying rakhis, rakhi gifts, rakhi pooja thalis etc for
making the day special. Sisters cook various dishes and sweets for
their beloved brothers and thus shower their love on them. Rakhi is
also a time for family union and collectively celebrating this
traditional festival. Lots of beautiful gifts, wrapped with love and
affection, are exchanged between dear ones. This makes the day a
sweet remembrance for many years to come.

To My Most Loving Sister (Suji),
Suji, this day is a gift from God to express the deep love between us. Thanks for being with me to hold my hand, to be a shoulder to cry and a soul to inspire. My dear Sister, I always want your happiness only. So be happy always. On this wonderful day I'm missing you so much. I know Suji, you will think of me and our unforgettable days.
Happy Raksha Bandhan!
