Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 DIVINE MESSAGE OF THE SACRED RAKSHA BANDHAN The Rakhi is tied to the hand and the hand signifies the Karma or the actions we do. We do our actions more by hand than anything else. " Our hands are tied " - people say when they can't do certain things. The Rakhi ties us or inhibits us from doing the wrong acts. Let the hand tied with the sacred Rakhi always involve in noble deeds. The hand has been " tied " and the thread is with the Supreme. This is the meaning of the " Bandhan " or the bondage. We are safe with our thread of life in the hands of the Supreme Father. Supreme is the only protector and no one else. The meaning of protection is " Abstaining from wrong doing " . This can be possible only with the help of Knowledge and Realisation. Everyone in this world needs protection. We are under the Shelter of one Supreme Father and that is the Real Protection. The brother-sister relation represents Divinity. This virtue is also required in all our relationships. The festival reminds us to discover Divinity in our relationships. A Divine Relation is formed out of true love, trust, faith, selflessness and cleanliness. The Rakhi thread symbolizes the Purity, Peace and Prosperity. The knot represents the commitment for the divine cause. The flower represents Divine Virtues, which we have to inculcate in our lives.
