Rakshabandhan wires are associated with threads of these four divine religious events
Raksha bandhan 2025: Rakhi is not just a thread, it is the invisible door that is wrapped with a sense of security, love and faith. In Hinduism, there are many mythological stories about Rakshabandhan which are not only limited to the relationship of brother and sister, but also connects stories of gods, sages and demons. Let’s know four such mythology, which gives the meaning of Rakhi.
Krishna and Draupadi: When the rip of the sari saved the shame
In this story of Mahabharata, the spirit of Rakhi was seen in the most poignant form. When Shri Krishna killed Shishupala with the Sudarshan Chakra, he started bleeding in his hand. Draupadi immediately tore the edge of her sari and tied it on Krishna’s finger. That thread was not just a cloth, it was the word of love, affection and defense. In return, when Draupadi was helpless at the time of ripping, Krishna saved his shame with the value of that Raksha Sutra. This incident is considered to be the most emotional and divine interpretation of Rakhi.
Indra and Indrani: Rakshasutra not broken even in war
According to the legend, when Devraj Indra was fighting with the Asuras and was in a state of defeat, his wife Indrani prepared a thread with a special mantra and tied Indra’s wrist. This thread was a defense-formula, which was tied on the day of Shravan Purnima. After this, Indra conquered the war. Here this rakhi is not limited to the relationship between husband and wife, but it proves that the resolution of defense can be in any relationship where there is faith, Rakshasutra works there.
Story of Vamana, Bali and Lakshmi
When Lord Vishnu incarnated Vamana and asked King Bali to ask for three steps, Bali gave it to Swargaloka to fulfill the promise. Then Lakshmi Mata went to the sacrifice as a Brahmin bride and tied a rakhi to him and promised to protect him. In return, Bali asked for a bride from him that Vishnu should always be with him. This story shows that Rakhi is not only for protection, but can also bind God in a bond of love and faith.
Yama and Yamuna: Word of immortality
This story of Yamraj and Yamuna makes the brother-sister relationship timeless. It is said that Yamraj did not come to meet his sister Yamuna for many years. When he finally came to meet, Yamuna had a love food and tied a rakhi. Yamraj was pleased and gave him a bride that the brother who loves his sister with love and will resolve to protect him, he will be longevity. Since then, Rakshabandhan came to be considered a festival of love, defense and blessings of brother and sister.
