Raksha Bhandan 2017

Rakhi is a sacred thread embellished with sister's love and affection for her brother. On the day of Raksha Bandhan, sisters tie rakhi on the wrists of their brothers and express their love to them. After receiving the rakhi from a sister, a brother sincerely takes the responsibility of protecting her sister. In Indian tradition, the frangible thread of rakhi is considered even stronger than an iron chain as it strongly binds a brother and a sister's in the circumference of mutual love and trust.

At Abhyasa Campus on 7th Aug 2017, in the morning at 9.00am Raksha Bhandan Celebrations were started with the Blessings of Bhagwan Shri Satya Sai Baba.

As far as the traditions and rituals are concerned, all the girl students prepared the "pooja thali" with diyas, and rakhis. They worship the goddesses, ties rakhis on the wrists of the boy students, and wishes for their well being. On the other hand, the brothers acknowledge their love with a promise that they will remain by their sisters' side and protect them from every fall and down throughout the life.

Any Indian festival seems to be incomplete without the traditional Indian festivities, such as gathering, celebrations, exchange of sweets and gifts, lots of noise, singing and dancing.

Girls Students sung Rakshabhandan Songs.
