Rakshabandhan is the pious festival to celebrate the bond between a brother and sister. The name itself means in Sanskrit, bond of protection, obligation and care. Rakshabandhan or Rakhi is as an unbreakable bond that is formed from the day of birth till death. It usually falls on the last day of Shravan, as per Hindu lunar calendar. This year in 2025, Rakshabandhan will be celebrated on 9th August.
Mr.Prashant Kapoor, the best astrologer in India and the world’s 1st medical astrologer, explains about the muhurat when Rakhi should be tied and the vedic tips for protection further in this blog.
As per astrology, this festival of Rakshabandhan aims to solidify the bond between siblings on a karmic level. Since the Moon’s energy is quite strong around the festival, there is a deep emotional bond between brothers and sisters, making them express their deepest feelings and in turn, establish love and commitment towards each other.
In Vishnu Puran, when Lord Vishnu conquered the three worlds from King Bali, King Bali requested Lord Vishnu to stay in his palace. However, that made Goddess Lakshmi unhappy and she tied a rakhi to King Bali and asked him to grant a wish. When King Bali granted the wish, she requested that Lord Vishnu should return home and hence, Lord Vishnu returned to Goddess Lakshmi.
How Rakashabandhan defines Karmic Bond:
- Brothers promise to protect their sisters from all sorts of problems.
- Brothers promise to support their sisters at every step of their lives.
- Sisters pray for the prosperity of the brothers.
- A beautiful way to strengthen relationships and familial bond.
Vedic Tips for protection
- The auspicious time for tying Rakhi this time on 9th August 2025 is between 5:47 AM and 1:24 PM. Hence, it is necessary to tie Rakhi around this time for harmonious relationship between siblings.
- This time, there is no Bhadra time while celebrating Rakshabandhan. Bhadra will end before sunrise on 9th August 2025. Hence, we can celebrate Rakshabandhan throughout the day. However, the most auspicious time is mentioned above.
- With the Rakhi, tilak and chawal should also be put on the brother’s forehead.
- The brother should face the East direction while getting the Rakhi tied.
- If possible, sisters should fast on this day for their brothers.
- After the sister ties rakhi, she should also perform an aarti of her brother. This will help to avoid any negative influence from a brother sister relationship.
- Sisters should also make the brother eat some sweets, to reinforce a deep connection between the siblings.
- Pooja thali should be made of brass or copper and not steel.
- Also, keep positive intentions while tying the Rakhi.
- The brother, post the tying of the Rakhi should gift something to his sister as a token of love and protestcion.
- One should avoid wearing black clothes on this day to ward off negativity and anything inauspicious.
- Chant this mantra: Yena baddho balee raajaa daanavendro mahaabalah, Tena twaam anubadhna ami rakshey maa chala maa chala, while tying Rakhi. This mantra invokes a sense of protective energy for the auspicious festival.
Celebrate the festival with a lot of love, happiness and good feelings, keeping aside all the conflicts that happened in the past.
