Raksha Bandhan 2018

bhaarat mein, ek tyauhaar jo bhaee aur bahan ke beech bandhan ko majaboot karata hai vah raksha bandhan hai. har bahan har saal apane bhaiyon kee kalaee par raakhee naamak pavitr dhaage ko baandhane kee prateeksha karatee hai. yah tyauhaar shravan ke maheene mein poornima divas par manaaya jaata hai. yah bhaarat ke sabase lokapriy tyauhaaron mein se ek hai. is utsav kee utpatti se sambandhit kaee kahaaniyaan hain.

agar ham is tyauhaar se kahaan se shuroo ho jaate hain, to yah ek bhaee aur bahan ke beech pyaar ko chihnit nahin karana tha balki yuddh mein jeet ke lie tha.

hindoo pauraanik kathaon ke anusaar, kahaanee is tarah jaatee hai. bahut pahale, devataon aur raakshason ke beech ek ladaee shuroo huee, jo ki antatah 12 varshon tak chalatee thee jisake ant mein daanav jeete the. raakshason ne na keval devataon ke raaja ke sinhaasan par kabja kar liya, balki poore teen vishv bhee. jab indr ne yuddh kho diya, to vah devataon-brhaspati ke aadhyaatmik shikshak ke paas gaya aur apanee salaah maangee. brhaspati ne indr ko kuchh mantron ka jap karane kee salaah dee jo unhen suraksha pradaan karenge. brhaspati ne poorn chandrama divas par shravan ke maheene mein mantron ka jap karane kee prakriya shuroo kee. mantron ko padhane ke is samaaroh ke dauraan, ek thred ko chhote paiket ke saath kasakar bandhe hue the. samaaroh ke baad, is chhote paiket mein suraksha aasheervaad yukt bhagavaan indr kee patnee, shachee, jise indr kee daahinee kalaee par indraanee bhee kaha jaata hai. in aasheervaadon ke kaaran, bhagavaan indr ne daanavon ko haraane aur apane khoe hue saamraajy ko punah praapt karane ke lie apanee taakat vaapas le lee.

vartamaan mein, yah tyauhaar bhaiyon aur bahanon ke beech pyaar aur bandhan ka paryaay ban gaya hai aur yah kaha ja sakata hai ki yah ek tyohaar hai jo bahan aur bhaee ke beech pyaar ko majaboot karata hai aur pushti karata hai. ek taraph, bhaee apanee bahan kee dekhabhaal karane aur apane poore jeevan kee raksha karane ka vaada karata hai, doosaree taraph, bahan apane bhaee ke lambe jeevan ke lie praarthana karatee hai.

is din, resham dhaaga jo bahan apane bhaiyon kee kalaee par bandhatee hai vah keval ek dhaaga nahin hai, balki donon ke beech shuddh, pavitr aur nirvivaad prem ka prateek hai, jo anant suraksha ke lie mantr ke saath milakar hota hai. jab bahan shaadee kar letee hai, to bhaee bahanon ke ghar jaane aur raakhee ko usake dvaara bandhe jaane ka mudda bana deta hai.
