Rakshabandhan - a symbol of the strength of the raw yarn

Rakshabandhan is the holy festival of culture. This festival, which falls on Shravan Sud Poonam, is a symbol of pure, innocent, sincere greetings to the sister and brother. While preparing the raksha, the sister sends greetings and hopes that the brother will protect the sister. But even the sister's wishes are not dumb. He also seems to have said, 'This protection protects you in your way of life.' On this occasion, the feelings and duties of the brothers and sisters towards each other are fulfilled. What a responsibility it is for a sister to be able to walk freely in society under the protection of her brother! A sister has the warmth of a brother's affection. Gray is not just a bond of warp, but a bond of heart.

Like the head of culture, this day is called by five names. That is the proof of its special effect. Its name is something like this: (1) Rakshabandhan (2) Shravani (3) Balev (4) Naliyeri Poonam (4) Sanskriti Din.

(1) At the Rakshabandhan festival, sisters tie ashes, tilak their foreheads and send greetings. Gray is a symbol of pure brotherly love. There is love in the fiber of gray. There are heartburn. Sister-in-law wishes longevity. It expresses the desire of the brother to be happy and prosperous. The sister urges her brother to make a living on this occasion. Of course, every good deed is guaranteed to have its own help. In ancient times Kunti Mata tied immortal ashes to Abhimanyu to win in Chakravyuh. Sakshat Lakshmiji also tied ashes to Baliraja to free the dwarf form god from Baliraja. Queen Karmavati of Mewar, the land of heroism, sent ashes to the Muslim king Humayun to seek help during the calamity that befell her. According to a story woven into history, in the battle of Alexander and Porus, Alexander's wife sent an ashtray over Porus to protect her lord. Rakshabandhan is a festival woven with harmony, affection and heartfelt blessings. These festivals, which have a treasure trove of secrets, suggest the same thing if everyone follows the culture wholeheartedly and understandingly. Such a priceless festival should look special, not just become a transactional conservatism.

(2) This festival is also called 'Shravani'. Shravan Nakshatrapradhan This month is named Shravan. This has become an auspicious yoga for Rigvedis and Yajurvedis to perform Yajna, hence it is also called Shravani. On that day, all the Dwijbandhus, according to their Vedas, Shakha, Pravara, Gotra, meditate on the mantras from the four Vedas and sincerely meditate and recite the Yajna in the presence of the Acharya. Shravani means the day of listening to the teachings of the principles and rules of Dharmashastra.

(2) As soon as the word 'Balev' falls on our ears, the Brahmins who worship Brahmatatva come before our eyes. On this day they perform a new Yajna according to the annual system. After bathing and worshiping, the body and the mind become pure, and the dvijo who assumes Janoi is born again in the true sense. A born Brahmin is the first Brahmin and becomes a Brahmin in the world like the second birth than assuming Janoi, he is a true Brahmin. Wearing a garland of Rudraksha, Tilak and a tripund of ashes, this deity worships the Brahmateja of Lord Suryanarayana. Trikala Sandhya, Gayatri Mantra, Japa etc. are Brahmatej enhancers. Thus ascetics, sages and pious Brahmins are the gurus of the whole society. They are the backbone of society and culture.

Knowledgeable and enlightened Brahmins are the best part of society. Human beings are bound by three types of debt, debt, patriarchal debt and sage debt. By issuing this loan, he performs his duty well and is satisfied satisfactorily.

(2) As soon as the idea of ​​coconut poonam comes up, the fishermen plowing the sea should come and stand in front of their eyes. During the monsoons, the sea becomes rough and turbulent, and at that time the sea trade and merchandise activities come to a complete halt, but with the full moon of the month of Shravan, the sea storm eases. The rains also soften, so on this holy day fishermen, as well as traders, throw coconuts into the sea, ritually worship the sea, and pray heartily for its grace for the complete protection of life and property. This day is also a joyous festival for Vaishnavism and traders. Worship is done by throwing coconuts in the sea to gain profit and not to cause loss in trade. The festival of coconut Poonam is just as ancient as the Hindus have been doing sea trade since time immemorial.

(2) Along with the story of Naliyeri Poonam, Sanskrit literature should also be remembered. This day is celebrated as Sanskrit Day. Sanskrit literature is our precious heritage. However, it is very sad that Sanskrit language is being forgotten today. Sanskrit and culture are like two sides of the same coin. There is a lot of depth in Sanskrit language. If we want to keep the culture alive, we have to resort to Sanskrit. Thus this festival illuminates our culture by cultivating patriotism, brotherhood, cooperation, etc.

Before concluding the Rakshabandhan, it is important to note one thing in particular. There was a terrible war between the gods and the demons. In this war, the demonic side seemed to be stronger. So Indra, the king of the gods, sent his guru Jupiter to the court. Took his advice. Indrani was also present at the same time. Before Jupiter could speak, Indrani said, "I know how to assure victory to the gods in battle. I promise you we will win. ”The next day was the full moon day of Shravan. Indrani made a model as written in the holy scriptures and tied it to her husband's hand. Surprisingly, as Indra entered the battlefield, the demons dispersed. The demons were defeated and the gods were victorious. Just, since then the holy festival of Rakshabandhan began.

Truly, Raksha is not just a thread, it is a sacred bond that protects modesty and affection and explains the importance of restraint! Poo Shri Pandurang Athavale Shastriji has also said, 'End of renunciation and faith, binding of devotional knot, Absolute brotherhood, true love song!'

"Sutarne tantane snehni hai ganddi, bhai ne bahendi bandhe hai rakhadi, zazera mall nahin to yeh anmol che, bhai ne bhanne sister pyaal amol."

In the consumerist life the price spreads the sweet fragrance of life. This festival Rakshabandhan knows the weirdness seen sometimes in the middle of the salty sea! This festival shows the boundary between culture and civilization. No matter how much civilization changes but the culture remains the same, this Rakshabandhan is made to be realized. How many other cultures of the world have become extinct. Due to these and similar festivals of Indian culture, nominations are still pending. Yatra naryastu pujayante ramante tatra devata: .. This festival embodies that spirit.

However, this festival has the same historical significance. When Rani Karmavati is attacked by enemies, this Hindu woman remembers her Muslim brother Mughal emperor Humayun. It works by breaking the wall of kinship and building a bond of affection. The festival. The festival of Rakshabandhan is not limited to sibling relationships. Kunti's mother tied the ashes of her lotus to protect Abhimanyu who was going to fight the battle of Saat Kotha.

Kunta binds Abhimanyu Amar Rakhdi Ray lol! Indrani tied a raksha in Indra's hand for the victory of the gods in the battle of Devasur. Rakshabandhan is celebrated in different ways even today. Prison guards are used to change the minds of prisoners by celebrating Rakshabandhan. The young men and women of the college also celebrate this festival by breaking new ground. Its successful experiments have been done in a college in Mumbai.

This tiny fiber of defense contains tremendous power. A brother who can break a strong iron rod cannot break a small piece of ashes.

The significance of this festival in social terms is something else. Rakshabandhan is a festival of 'vision change'! Feast of Change of Head (not beheading) Does today's woman, who wants to be a male counterpart, really need protection? If these sisters who reach out to others do not need protection, then why do they need protection? But it needs protection and that too from the so-called 'individuals'. Wherever this sister lives, wherever she works, she has to face the victimistic gaze of these so-called 'close' persons. His condition is such that it cannot be said or tolerated. Because such a person comes to the aid of such a sister when such persons from outside are supposed to have a 'reputation'. The gray. The sister tied the ashes to such a person and indirectly tells this brother that he will fight against the eyes of the world but now the vision of your eyes has to be changed.

The action of tilak on the head along with tying the ashes also suggests something like this. Leaving the victimistic view and giving the third holy eye, the sister makes it 'Trilochan'. What an excellent tool for vision transformation! Instead of cutting off the head, it is time to change the head. So this shayari, said in a mild joke, suggests something similar. 'Roomzum karti ai, rumzum karti chali gayi. I stood on Sindur Lake, Wo Rakhi Bandharkar Chali Gai.

In the flood of emotions, the tense sister ties the ashes in her brother's hand with the color of her heart. Brothers and sisters make each other salty. In some places, Sister Bhaila's Aarti is also performed. Such a rare scene is also seen. Then all this is done to touch the feet of the brother and to bless the sister. On this occasion, the brother also wants to give a small gift in return and say that he will be ready to pay any price when the time comes.

This true incident in the Punjab province confirms this.

A bus was going on a smooth road in Punjab. The newlyweds, adorned with jewels, were walking to Pierre with her husband. Suddenly the terrorist seizes the bus. All goods are handed over to them as per strict instructions given. In which this young lady also hands over all the jewelery to the bandits. But the bandits don't stop there.

His greedy eyes fall on the body of this young lady. They try to get him out of the bus by grabbing his hand, pulling, dragging him. The husband is hit and injured while trying to defend himself. The young woman begs the other men sitting in the bus to save her from these evils. But no male cub emerges to face these bandits.

There was also a young man in the bus with a mustache and his mustache was barely parted. But he does not see this scene. The rude tampering with the girl's body became unbearable for this young man. His blood boiled. In the blink of an eye, the unarmed young man stood up and snatched his gun from a bandit.

This lone young man fights against three or four armed bandits, like Abhimanyu fighting alone in the battle of those seven rooms. Eventually the young man falls but first the two bandits gather the floor and the other two escape one by one. The sister sits next to the brother's anesthetized body. He takes his head in his lap. This brother's blood soothes the forehead and turns the heartache into words. Brother! If it weren't for you today, these idiots would have pinched your unseen sister. Brother! Someone made such a big sacrifice to pay off the debt of the last birth!

These two men were strangers to this young lady a few moments ago. But now he takes one's head in his lap while for the other there is sheer hatred! The eyes of both the men may have fallen on the body of this young lady but what a difference in the eyes of both of them! One eye was a victim of lust while the other eye wanted to tear such eyes so that such a distorted look would not fall on the body of the sister again. The implementation of such a relationship means Rakshabandhan!
