 he bonding between a brother and a sister is simply unique and is
beyond description in words. when it comes to India, the
relationship becomes all the more important as there is a festival
Rakshabandhan called "Raksha Bandhan" dedicated for the sibling love.The festival
is made up of two words, namely "Raksha" and "Bandhan." As per
is the day of the Sanskrit terminology, the occasion means "the tie or knot of
bond between protection" where "Raksha" stands for the protection and
"Bandhan" signifies the verb to tie. Together, the festival
brothers and symbolizes the eternal love of brother-sister relationship which
sisters does not mean just the blood relationships only. It is also
celebrated among cousins, sister and sister-in-law (Bhabhi),
fraternal aunt (Bua) and nephew (Bhatija) and other such
relations.
indra Dev and Sachi- According to the ancient legend of
Bhavishya Purana, once there was a fierce battle between
Gods and demons. Lord Indra- the principle deity of sky, rains
and thunderbolts who was fighting the battle on the side of
Gods was having a tough resistance from the powerful demon
King, Bali. The war continued for a long time and did not came
on a decisive end. Seeing this, Indra's wife Sachi went to the
ORIGIN Lord Vishnu who gave her a holy bracelet made up of cotton
thread. Sachi tied the holy thread around the wrist of her
husband, Lord Indra who ultimately defeated the demons and
recovered the Amaravati. The earlier account of the festival
described these holy threads to be amulets which were used
by women for prayers and were tied to their husband when
they were leaving for a war. Unlike, the present times, those
holy threads were not limited to brother-sister relationships.
King Bali and Goddess Lakshmi- As per an account of
Bhagavata Purana and Vishnu Purana, when Lord Vishnu
won the three worlds from the demon King Bali, he asked
by the demon king to stay beside him in the palace. The
Lord accepted the requested and started living with the
demon king. However, Goddess Lakshmi, wife of Lord
Vishnu wanted to return to his native place of Vaikuntha.
So, she tied the rakhi around the wrist of demon king, Bali
and made him a brother. On asking about the return gift,
Goddess Lakshmi asked Bali to free her husband from the
vow and let him return to Vaikuntha. Bali agreed to the
request and Lord Vishnu returned to his place with his
wife, Goddess Lakshmi.
