    Raksha Bandhan

    Pranam

    Happy Raksha Bandhan to all at hdf

    Celebrating the bond between brother and sister. A very special day today in hindu calendar, sisters tie Rakhi on brothers wishing longevity and in turn brother promise to protect his sister.
    There is a legend, Maa Laxmi tying Rakhi on Bali.

    Jai Shree Krishna

    Namaste,

    Happy Raksha Bandhan to all.

    FYI, since it is based on lunar positions, in India it is being celebrated from the afternoon of Tuesday to about 10 AM on Wednesday. So, some people are observing it today and some tomorrow.

    Pranam.

    Re: Raksha Bandhan

    It's interesting that upAkarma-vidhi is also done on this day. Is there any connection between the two, or is this merely a coincidence?

    Also of related interest, on the ISKCON calendar, this day is balarAma jayanti.
