WHY IS AUSPICIOUS TIMING IMPORTANT FOR TYING RAKHI?
Auspicious timing, also known as Shubh Muhurat, is considered to be important in Hinduism for any important occasion or event. This is because it is believed that tying a rakhi during an auspicious time will bring good luck and blessings to the brother and sister.
History of Raksha Bandhan
A story says that Raksha Bandhan was first celebrated by gods Indra and Vishnu. Indra was the king of the gods and was constantly attacked by demons. Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, came to Indra's aid and helped him defeat the demons. In gratitude, Indra tied a thread around Vishnu's wrist as a symbol of protection from him.
Another story says that Raksha Bandhan was first celebrated by the Pandavas and Kauravas. The Pandavas were five brothers and the Kauravas were their cousins. The two families were enemies and fought a long and bloody war. In the end, the Pandavas emerged victorious and tied rakhis around the wrists of their brothers as a symbol of their love and protection.
WHAT IS BHADRA KAAL?
Bhadra Kaal is an inauspicious time period that should be avoided during Raksha Bandhan. Bhadra Kaal falls in the afternoon, between 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. If you are tying a rakhi during Bhadra Kaal, it is believed that the protective power of the rakhi will weaken.
