She blesses the devotee with fearlessness and success in the material world.
Rakhi or Raksha Bandhan is mainly a festival of brothers and sisters. But Rabindranath Tagore was found this festival as a festival of friendship. In that way any people can wish to any of his friend in Raksha Bandhan. This year Raksha Bandhan is on 5th August 2009. So , If you want to wish your friends a very happy Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi. Then just pick an ecard from the following category to express your true feelings for him or her.
The Rakhi is called The Thread of Love. It symbolizes the unconditional bonding among brothers and sisters. Celebrated throughout the ages in India, it has emerged as one of the most popular festivals. The sister ties a beautifully decorated string around her brother reminding him that her best wishes for him are there forever. The brother in return promises unconditional love and support. It is a wonderful celebration of one of the relationships that bind us together as a family.
The Rakhi is also a time for sweets and chocolates!! Time for great home-made yummy food and forgetting sibling rivalry for a day. It’s a day for fun and joy and enjoyment.
The ritual of Raksha Bandhan is beyond religion or blood relations. The Mughal king Humayun was tied the Rakhi by Rajput queen Karnavati of Chittor. Humayun upheld the honour of the Rakhi and protected her kingdom in need. Alexander’s wife had tied the sacred thread to king Puru’s wrist. As a sign of love returned, Puru did not hurt Alexander. Krishna’s affection against Draupadi’s sisterly love string saved her from being insulted by the Kauravas. The promise of the Rakhi has been fulfilled forever.
Buying gifts for the Raksha Bandhan? Give some time and thought to what you buy. Think about likes and dislikes and avoid shopping for it at the eleventh hour. Remember the most important part of it- it is not the price tag of the present, but the love in your heart. Spending the day with your sister with an open mind may bring more joy than expensive gifts.
The learned Rabindranath Tagore used the magic of a single thread to bring Indians together. In 1905, when the British wanted to divide Indian states on the basis of religions, his Raksha Bandhan festivals joined Hindus and Muslims in the bond of love and support. Indian pride and brotherhood flowed against the tyrannical Raj. Tagore understood the true meaning of Rakhi- the power of love that help us become true human beings.
Rabindranath Tagore one of the greatest literary figures of the country has ever seen. His writings have been mesmerizing people generation after generations. He became Asia’s first Nobel laureate when he won the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature. We celebrate his birthday in bengali calendar on 25th Boishakh (pochis he boishakh). He was born on May 7, 1861 in Jorasanko, Kolkata. Two songs from his canon are now the national anthems of Bangladesh and India: the Amar Shonar Bangla and the Jana Gana Mana respectively.
