Shubh Rakhi Time: Starts at 1:24 PM on the day of Rakshabandhan – ideally performed during Aparahna Muhurat and avoiding Bhadra period.
Significance
Rakshabandhan represents the Sanatan values of dharma, affection and protection — strengthening familial and spiritual bonds.
Spiritual Celebration
Devotees also tie rakhis to deities like Shri Krishna, Ganesh ji, Hanuman ji or their gurus — seeking divine blessings for security and grace.
Divine Significance of Rakhi
During the Mahabharata, when Shri Krishna injured his finger, Subhadra lovingly tore a piece of her saree and tied it to stop the bleeding. Deeply moved, Krishna vowed eternal protection. This sacred act laid the spiritual foundation of Raksha Bandhan — symbolizing love, sacrifice and a bond beyond lifetimes.
Auspicious Day Raksha Bandhan
Raksha Bandhan falls on Saturday, August 9, 2025. It is advised to avoid Bhadra Kaal, as rituals performed during this period are considered inauspicious. Tying Rakhi at the right time invites divine blessings and strengthens the sacred bond of love and protection between siblings.
History & Origin of Raksha Bandhan
Raksha Bandhan finds mention in the Bhavishya Purana, where Indra’s wife tied a sacred thread on his wrist for victory in battle. In another tale, Subhadra tied Rakhi to her brother Shri Krishna, symbolizing love and divine protection. Later, Queen Karnavati sent Rakhi to Emperor Humayun, seeking his support. These timeless stories reflect Rakhi’s role as a symbol of trust, devotion and spiritual strength in relationships.
