(Excerpts form Pujya Bapuji’s satsang)
Raksha Bandhan is a festival of the Indian culture, which is celebrated on the day of shrawani poonam (the full moon day of the moth of shravan) is festival of self development. The earth appears to be clad in green sari on this day with blooming beautiful flowers. It gives the inspiration to fill one’s heart with the flowers of devotional love, good conduct, and continence. On this day of Raksha Bandhan an amulet or hold thread called Rakhi is tied round the wrist of brothers by the sister with the feeling of enhancing their longevity, health and well being. Brahmins and purohits and receive gifts. Brahmins wear a new holy thread on this day with a resolve to set a higher goal in their life. The stormy sea also calms down after the shrawani poonam. Those who do sear trade offer coconut to the sea.
Why was the festival of Raksha Bandhan fixed on the day shrawani poonam only? Because the India culture has a pan for making right use of will power. One how who gets sacrifice or worship perfumed for oneself by a Brahmin priest is tired a kalawa an amulet for protection, by the presort. This is tied so that one is protected form any dosha or disease affecting one body which may hamper one power of determination . In the month of shrawani the earth gets less sunlight. Therefore different kinds of germs multiply reply which cause diarrhea vomiting, indigestion of ever an body ache. Hence on the day of Raksha Bandhan Raksha sutra is tied an resolve is made for the protection of the health on physical metal and intellectual planes. What a deep psychology and my setter supports the tradition of Raksha sutra!
