Rakcha Bandhan is celebrated on the full moon day
of Shravan (August) according to the Hindu calendar. Rakcha
means ‘protection’ and bandhan means ‘to tie a knot.’ Rakcha
Bandhan is also known as Rakhi. It has both, social and spiritual
significance. As a social occasion it promotes good relations among
family and friends, especially brothers and sisters. But in the
spiritual sense a Spiritual Master ties a decorated thread
(specially made for this occasion) around the wrist of the
devotee which signifies his caring for his devotee. On this day
thousands of devotees line up to receive a rakhi from Shree
Maharajji.
