RAKSHA BANDHAN ( RAKHI PURNIMA ) IS A TRADITION DRAWING ITS ROOTS FROM LORD KRISHNA PHILOSOPHY …

 

Lord Krishna Philosophy is such a rich philosophy, there is no other philosophy that can match its depth. Raksha Bandhan which got celebrated today largely among Indians around the Globe, draws its roots from Lord Krishna Philosophy by the following story lines :

 1. Once Lord Krishna accidentally cut His finger by Sudarshan chakra and started bleeding profusely. It’s “ Draupadi “ who tore threads from her Saree and tied the finger of Lord Krishna to stop bleeding.

 2. Durbasha Rishi who is known for his fire like great anger in mythology, once while taking bath in the Ganges lost his clothes which got washed away by water current of Ganges. “ Draupadi “ was bathing nearby in the Ganges with a group of her lady escorts. Rishi Durbasha went nearer to them while still naked inside water and requested the group of bathing ladies if anyone could donate a piece of clothes which he could wear covering his body and he could go to the shore. It is “ Draupadi “ who tore a piece of her Saree and gave to Rishi Durbasha to wear and could come out of water with grace. Rishi Durbasha had blessed Draupadi that Lord Bishnu should give her crores ( 1 crore is 10 millions ) of clothes to wear.

Therefore Lord Krishna was pleased to save the honours of “Draupadi” as a brother while Kauravas led by “Dushasan” were de-clothing her in the story of Mahabharata by giving her endless length of Saree.

Even in Mahabharata Lord Krishna stood by Pandavas including Arjun to ensure the end of perpetrating Kauravas to keep the honours of Draupadi and Justice.

These story lines from Lord Krishna Philosophy have motivated celebration of Raksha Bandhan, where a sister ties a sacred thread in the hand of a brother wishing his well-being and long life.

The underlying story lines drawn from Lord Krishna Philosophy are interesting and Raksha Bandhan as a festival has been celebrated thrillingly. It has been such an important festival which has not even been limited to inter-religion boundaries over time.

Obliged to Lord Krishna Philosophy.
