Happy RakshaBandhan

Now the Question Arise Here is Why We Celebrate this Festival Every Year?

Earlier days the transportation was not so good and quick. It used to take many days

to reach out to other cities or months to other states. Cell phones or Landlines weren't

invented during that Time. In Such conditions how would you know if your sister/ Daughter

was doing good and happy in her married life.

That's where such festivals came in picture. On Rakhi the sister is supposed to come

and tie Rakhi to the brother. She could come to her parents, stay with them where she

can share Everything With her Parents and Brother And This is one of the best way to

make the bond of a Brother and Sister More Stronger.

It also made the brother feel responsible for taking care of her for lifetime as it's been a

tread ( promise) of protection/ Rakhsha.The circle of rituals gets completed on bhai duj

when brother visits her for lunch or dinner. Of what she serves, can be a declaration

of how good financially her husband was doing.

There Was Another mythology Regarding Celebration of  this auspicious

occasion of Hindus.

According to the mythology Raja Bali was such a great devotee of Lord Vishnu that Lord

Indra felt insecure. Indra worshipped Vishnu and asked the Lord to save his throne.

Lord Vishnu accepted Indra's prayer and overthrew Bali. Later, Lord Vishnu promised him

to take care of his kingdom. To keep his promise Lord Vishnu went to ‘ Vaikunthdham ’

and went to safeguard Bali's kingdom.

Soon, Goddess Lakshmi, wife of Lord Vishnu, went to Raja Bali as a poor brahmin lady,

and requested him for shelter. She regarded Bali as her brother and tied a Rakhi on to his

wrist, on the ‘ Shravana Purnima’ Day.

When Bali wished to give her some present, she told him her true identity and the reason

for her arrival. She asked Bali to send Lord Vishnu back to Vaikunthdham. Raja Bali

requested Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi to return.

On This Day Sister Ties Different Types of Designer Rakhi , Silver Rakhi and the most

Famous Lumba Rakhi and Visits Their Brother Homes Along with Dry Fruits, Sweets

and Gifts I Remember Last Year My Sister Ties me a Very Beautiful Lord Krishna Rakhi.

Our Famous Leaders During the time of Indian Independence also  Use this to Unite

Hindus and Muslims .

 In 1905 Rabindra Nath Tagore, a famous Bengali poet and a Nobel Laureate observed this

festival in order to stop the chaos arising out of the movement of the Partition of Bengal. 

With observing this festival he tried to strengthen the ties between the Hindus and the

Muslims ignoring their clash and also to give them the message of being united and

joint fighting against the British Government for the freedom of India.

Why don't Sikhs celebrate Raksha Bandhan?

As the festival of Raksha Bandhan approaches each year, it’s no longer strange to see

Sikh females lining up to purchase these threads to tie on the wrists of their brothers

and fathers, in return for blessings and gifts. What was originally a Hindu festival has

been ignorantly accepted in Sikh culture, without prior thought to what it is all about

and why our Gurus would never support it.

Sikhism is based on equality of all irrespective of caste , sex religion or region . At the time

of Guru Nanak Dev ji women had to face a lot of discrimination and guru ji opposed this by

saying “Why call her bad , who has given birth to kings”.

 There’s no harm in doing any of these things, but our Guru just did not approve them for

his Sikhs. He’s taken us out of all the clutter of all those things that have no meaning in

Sikhi and have instructed us to focus more on God than on worldly funfairs that eventually

take the mortal away from God. The heritage of the Sikhs is so unique, that the men and

women have been given an equal status. Why would a Khalsa Kaur ever need anyone’s

protection when they have the power within them to defend themselves? That is why if

Singh was given a Kirpan, so was Kaur granted the same. 

When the 40 Sikhs abandoned the Guru in his time of need, their wives took away their

mens’ weapons and horses and left their husbands home to take their place. It was a proof

of the might of the Guru’s daughters – that they are as mighty, or even mightier, than men.

‘Truth is high,’ Guru Nanak Dev Ji said and, further added, ‘but higher still is truthful living.

’ So how can a mere thread prove the love between a brother and sister.

Rakhsha Bandhan is good for the Hindus, the Sikhs have their own beautiful way of life,

made as simple as it could ever have been so that we can connect more to the Divine,

and detatch more from the illusionary world.

Sikhs were blessed with the root of the Guru so that they may emulate their example of life

and living which would connect us to Waheguru. Ceremonies like rakhsha bandhan are

good for those for whom it was made, for the Hindu faith has its own valid reasons. Sikhi is

a completely distinct faith.

 And how? Guru Nanak did not accept the janeu; he rejected the offering of water to his

ancestors; he did not recite the Hindu Vedas; nor prayed to the 330 million gods, but

contemplated only on the SHABAD what was revealed to Him from the Court of the Lord.

Likewise, the other Sikh Gurus further developed what Guru Nanak preached. 

In conclusion, while the ceremony is a beautiful one, it simply has no place in Sikhi

because it is not higher than the Sikh way of life. The simple thread that is meant as a

prayer to protect a sister and to seek the blessings of the brother’s long life and wellbeing,

is not any higher than believing that it is Akaal Purakh that protects and blesses His

beings. 

A thread is just an illusion, a Sikh of the Guru has no need for it to be reminded of his

duty to the world, otherwise our Gurus would have allowed us to adopt it.
