Raksha Bandhan is one of the unique Hindu festivals which celebrate an eternal bond between a brother and a sister. The significance of this festival across the globe lies in the fact that no other event celebrates the very special relationship that siblings share among themselves. Rakhi from the traditional times have been only a thread which is tied on the right hand of a brother by a sister. With time the decoration of the thread has been improved on. But is it all about a decorated thread or something more than that? Well, it is a lot more than that! A Rakhi is laced with one of the finest human emotions. It is tied by the sister on the hand of a brother to seek divine blessings for him and to expect his love and protection in return. This thread is all about the strong feelings which a sister treasures in her heart. And this feeling is not limited to any geographical boundaries. A sister can reside thousands miles distant from a brother but her feelings for him remain the same. Come Raksha Bandhan every year and her longings for her sweet brother becomes sky high. The memories of the past when she herself tied the Rakhi on the hand of his brother are rekindled in a jiffy. It is a pity that she can not fly across miles to do it herself.
This, however, is hardly a constraint! She can always send him a Rakhi and make him feel her cherished presence near him.
God might have created the brothers and the sisters in a time when he was in high spirits! The relationship between them is no less than a wonder with each standing by the other in bad times and gallantly supporting each others cause! A sister who is blessed with a brother in India and has to move away from him feels the pang of separation every time. Sending a Rakhi to him on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan is the least she can do to honour the divine bond which they enjoy.
It is only not about the brothers and sisters that Rakhi is limited. It is a unique good will gesture to send a Rakhi to a person in India who is treasured in the heart. A Rakhi to India can quickly transmit the esteemed human values of love and universal brotherhood. In a world where religious strife has been a regular occurrence a Rakhi can bring in a fresh air of harmony.
In the journey of life one needs a friend to confide in. A brother and a sister are friends who share a great degree of comfort to tell little secrets of their lives to each other. They grow up inspiring one another in their quest for their respective goals in life. For many sisters it is their brother’s constant support which makes it possible to undertake a journey abroad for a better life. Such a brother is a rare jewel and deserves a very special treatment. Sending him a Rakhi is a very strong avowal of a sister’s feelings.
What more can a brother ask for than a beautiful Rakhi from his sister which is coated with her never ending love and decorated with a slice of her heart!
