Happy Raksha Bandhan 2025 – A Sacred Bond of Love and Protection
Raksha Bandhan, also known as Rakhi, is one of the most cherished festivals in India, symbolizing the eternal bond between brothers and sisters. This festival is not just about tying a thread; it is about love, trust, care, and the promise of protection. On this special day, sisters tie a sacred Rakhi on their brothers’ wrists, and in return, brothers vow to protect their sisters from all harm and difficulties.
The Significance of Raksha Bandhan in Sanatan Dharma
In Sanatan Dharma, Raksha Bandhan holds deep spiritual importance. The word Raksha means “protection,” and Bandhan means “bond.” It is believed that tying a Rakhi is not merely a ritual—it is a divine connection of souls bound by dharma, duty, and affection.
According to ancient scriptures, even Devi Draupadi tied a strip of cloth on Lord Krishna’s hand when he was injured, and Krishna vowed to protect her in every situation. This is why Raksha Bandhan is also seen as a festival of promises and blessings.
