News Topical, Digital Desk : As Raksha Bandhan approaches, the markets are decorated with colourful rakhis, sweets and gifts. Sisters choose beautiful rakhis for their brothers, and brothers also prepare special gifts for their sisters.
On this day, sisters tie a protective thread (Rakhi) on their brothers' wrists, apply tilak, feed them sweets and pray for their happy future. In return, brothers promise to protect them throughout their lives.
Rules for tying Rakhi
Three knots in Rakhi: A symbol of faith and protection
- There is a tradition of tying three knots while tying a Rakhi, which has a deep spiritual meaning attached to it.
- The first knot is dedicated to Lord Brahma, who is considered the creator of the universe. This knot is considered a symbol of auspicious beginning of life and positive energy.
- The second knot is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the nurturing god. It brings balance and stability in life.
- The third knot is dedicated to Lord Shiva, who is the destroyer of evil and guide to salvation. This knot signifies protection from evil forces in life and protection from wrong deeds.
- With these three knots the Rakhi is no longer just a thread but becomes a divine blessing and protective shield.
Keep the direction in mind while tying Rakhi
- It is also considered auspicious to keep in mind the direction while tying Rakhi on the day of Raksha Bandhan.
- The brother's face should be towards the east.
- The sister's face should be towards the west.
- By doing this, both get auspicious results and positive energy remains in the relationship.
Recite this mantra while tying Raksha Sutra -
“Yen Baddho Bali Raja, Danavendro Mahabalah.
"Ten Twam Commititnami, Rakshe Machal Machalah."
The meaning of this mantra is that I tie this thread to protect you with the same sacred protective thread that protected the mighty King Bali. May this thread protect you from every danger and keep you safe always.
Do these remedies on the day of Rakshabandhan
To strengthen the financial position
On the morning of Rakshabandhan, keep a silver or one rupee coin along with the rakhi in the puja plate. First tie the rakhi to Lord Ganesha, then keep the coin in the temple. The next day tie the same coin in a red cloth and keep it in the safe. This can increase wealth and get rid of financial problems.
To progress in life
On Raksha Bandhan, first of all, anoint Lord Shiva with milk, curd, ghee, honey and sugar. Then tie a rakhi to Lord Shiva and worship him as per rituals. This remedy is helpful in progressing in life and removing all kinds of obstacles.
For happiness, peace and prosperity
Take bath in the morning and worship Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha. Then chant these two mantras 'Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namah' and 'Om Gan Ganapataye Namah' 108 times. This maintains happiness and peace in the house and one receives the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.
to protect the family
Tie mustard, saffron, coin, sandalwood, whole rice and durva in a silk cloth and place it on the Kalash. Then perform the puja and place the bundle in the temple of the house. This remedy is considered extremely fruitful for the safety and peace of the family.
