Raksha Bandhan 2022 – Thursday, 11 August
India has an assortment of festivals. Almost all festivals bring together people and strengthen their relationships, and Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi is one of them. Raksha Bandhan brings together brothers & sisters and strengthens their bond.
Raksha Bandhan is celebrated every year on the Purnima of Shravan Month. This day is also known as Rakhi Purnima. On Rakhi, sister(s) tie a sacred thread on the wrist of their brother(s) and give them blessings for a happy, healthy and prosperous life; in return, brothers give them some money or presents.
A Less known fact about Raksha Bandhan –
Do you know that by celebrating the festival of Raksha Bandhan, we unknowingly perform an astrology remedy? Well, sister represents planet Mercury and brother represents planet Mars. When siblings exchange sacred threads (Rakhi) & gifts, they indirectly perform remedies to please their respective planets. Hence, to do this remedy appropriately, you must present a lucky object to your siblings that could benefit both you and your sibling.
How to celebrate Raksha Bandhan?
- Both the siblings should get up early in the morning, take a bath, and wear new/clean clothes.
- Sister(s) prepare & decorate a plate for worship in which they should place Rakhi bracelet, some rice (Akshat), Kumkum, flowers, sweets, and lamp (Deepak).
- In an auspicious Muhurata, the sister should tie that Rakhi bracelet on the brother’s wrist of the right hand, apply Tilak on his temple along with some rice, sprinkle some flowers on him, make him have some sweets, and do worship with the ghee lamp.
- The sister should pray for the longevity, prosperity & success of her brother.
- In return, the brother must present something to her sister as an omen with due respect; it could be a gift or some money.
What is the best gift for Raksha Bandhan?
Raksha Bandhan implies showing care towards your siblings. To prove this, present them with occult gifts as per their date of birth that can truly contribute to their success. Gem bracelets are the best blessings siblings could exchange as a token of care & affection. Not only sisters but brothers can also gift these bracelets for their overall good.
How to choose a suitable bracelet for your siblings?
The simple way of choosing a bracelet for your brother or sister is to calculate their conductor number and choose the bracelet accordingly.
Formula to calculate conductor number:
Date + Month + Year = (Conductor Number)
Example: Date of Birth is 7 – September – 1979
7 + 9 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 9 = 42
4 + 2 = 6 (Conductor Number)
