Essay :- Rakshabandhan

Friends, the flowing love is tied to brother's wrist, the world is tied with two strings of love ... This song sung by Suman Kalyanpur is the most popular song of Rakshabandhan. Even if the song is not too old, the process of strapping the rakhi on brother's wrist is very ancient. The history of Rakshabandhan is associated with the Indus Valley civilization. That too when the beginning of the creation of civilization in the Arya Samaj only came to be.

At Rakshabandhan festival, where the sisters are eagerly awaiting the yarn of the brothers in their wrists, while the far-flung brothers are also waiting for their release to send them to Rakhi. Those brothers do not need to be frustrated, who do not have their own sister, because the tradition of bonding Rakhi with the mouthful sisters is also quite old.

In fact, the tradition of Raksha Bandhan was cast by those sisters who were not friendly. Even though these sisters have not only begun this festival for their protection, but the festival's validity still remains to this day. Looking at the pages of history, the origins of this festival are said to be about 6 thousand years ago. Many of its evidence is also recorded in the pages of history.

From the pages of history ...
The earliest evidence of the beginning of Raksha Bandhan is the Queen Kannavati and Emperor Humayun. The struggle between the Rajputs and the Muslims was going on in the medieval era. Queen Karnavati was the widow of the king of Chittod. During that time, the Sultan Bahadur Shah of Gujarat saw no way of protecting himself and his people, the queen sent Humai Rakhi to Humayun. Humayun then protected him and gave him the status of sister.

The second example is considered between Alexander and Puru. It is said that Alexander, who had always been victorious, became very distracted by the brilliance of Indian King Purus. Alexander's wife had come under great stress.

He had heard about the festival of Rakshabandhan. So, he sent Rakhi to the Indian king Puru. Then the situation of the war ended. Because Indian King Puroha assumed Alexander's wife as a sister.

Another example of history is considered to be Krishna and Draupadi. Lord Krishna had killed the wicked king Sishupala. During the war Krishna's left hand finger was bleeding. Droopy was very sad after seeing this and he tear his sari piece into Krishna's finger, which stopped his bleeding. God regarded this as Rakhi's dream and thought that Mana Droopy was a sister and promised to protect.

And just since that Krishna had accepted Droopadi as his sister. Years later when Pandav Droopadi was lost in gambling and was being ransacked in a meeting held in full swing, Lord Krishna saved hundreds of thousands of rupees of Rakhi from the same sarees of Draupadi and saved Droopadi's shyness.

Best wishes of Rakshabandhan to all the countrymen.
