Raksha Bandhan: The Bond of Love and Support

August 10 2022 TalktoAngel 0 comments 1712 Views

Beloved I offer to you

In tender allegiance anew,

A bracelet of floss, Let me twist

Its tassels, vermilion and blue

And violet, to girdle your wrist.

Accept this bright gage from my hand,

Let you heart its sweet speech understand,

The ancient high symbol and end

Is wrought on each gold-threaded strand,

The fealty of friend unto a friend.

A garland how frail of design,

Our spirits clasp and entwine

In devotion unstained and unbroken,

How slender a circle and sign

Of secret, deep pledges unspoken!

Sarojini Naidu – The Feather of Dawn

One such significant event that honors the love and devotion between a brother and a sister is Raksha Bandhan. Nothing compares to the closeness as that between siblings! One's youth and all that happens after that are profoundly changed by growing up with siblings. Rakhsha Bandhan was originally intended to honor the relationship between brothers and sisters. By symbolically tying a Rakhi (a thread), the sister was delegating the duty of providing for her safety to the brother. What originally stood for necessary masculine protection has gradually changed. It has evolved into the metaphorical concept of safeguarding and caring for your sibling's comfort and safety. However, when we talk about sibling relationships, they are crucial for our social, emotional, and cognitive growth and are necessary for companionship.

Sibling relationships can play out in unusual ways in nurturing individuals’ mental health as siblings are often a child's primary playmate and an adult's closest friend. It is among the most powerful links we may have since we are born and have a significant impact on how we develop emotionally in our life. Our siblings teach us vital life skills, guide us to establish bonds with other people, discover our identity, and teach us how to negotiate in relationships. Sometimes, the relationship amongst siblings is not so good on account of sibling rivalry, the event of sharing, caring, and performing rituals with intervention and cordial support of parents do alter and help in modifying behavior, Rakshbandhan is one such occasion to celebrate love, passion, and care in the family. A strong bond with your sister or brother promotes both your mental and physical health and helps you live a long and happy life. They not only encourage us to take better care of ourselves but also assist us when we are ill or under stress. Having a sibling might help us to preserve some of our early and fondest memories. It can be a fight over a toy or sleeping with parents, frequent teasing, and playing your favorite game, a trip with them, or fighting in the backseat of the car.

A brother and sister connection is an important bond. A brother and sister have a very close relationship. Although they may argue over minor issues, their love for one another is unfathomable. To express your affection for your sibling, you can care for them and make them feel special. Give the gift that flows from your heart. Finding the perfect present for a loved one seems worthwhile when you see a smile on their face.
