A festival plays an important role in our life. It helps us to take a break from our daily work pressure and create memorable moments.
Raksha Bandhan is such a festival, which brings zeal, smiles and joy to the brother and sister relationship.
Previous 2-3 years were all in covid and we were not able to make our kids understand the importance of raksha bandhan so here is a blog on How to celebrate rakhi with your kids in a modern way?
Raksha Bandhan is a festival observed by Hindus. On this day, siblings tie a sacred thread known as Rakhis around each other’s wrists as a symbol of protection and love. During this period, people visit their relatives, exchange gifts and offer prayers. People prepare traditional sweets and eat them together. But most importantly, they enjoy their family time together.
Praise the sweepers, cleaners, and vendors
The idea of sharing bonds between the same class or social status of people is not a new one. But what if we extend this concept to all those who work in any profession? Isn’t this an attempt to make everyone equal? Why can’t we treat every single person equally regardless of their job or position? Isn’t it our responsibility to ensure that no one faces discrimination because of their job? In today’s world, where technology plays such a vital role, why can’t we create a system that allows us to share bonds across communities? What if we could connect everybody irrespective of their educational background or family income? Wouldn’t it be great if we could eliminate the social barriers that exist today?
Tie rakhis to plants and trees
We are indebted to the environment around us. It has gifted us with everything we desire and yet we fail to protect and preserve it. Therefore, in order to repay our debt, we must dedicate ourselves to preserving nature forever. Rakhis are one such means through which we can fulfill our obligation towards Mother Nature. Our pledge to take care of her needs should not only be limited to growing saplings. Rather it would also include the act of planting herbs and flowers wherever we live. And we must never ever cut any plant without its consent.
Show love for animals and pets
Aren’t they beautiful creatures, given to us by God? We must take care of them. A new custom may be instituted, wherein we tie a knot on their heads, necks, limbs, or feet, to signify a bond of affection between two people. The sole meaning of the festival is not just tying rakhis, but love and commitment. Let’s all come together and celebrate this festival. Tie a rakhi to your pets, local cows, or horses, and vow to treat them kindly.
