RAKSHA BANDHAN

Today is RAKHSA BANDHAN

Raksha literally means protection and bandhan means binding. This festival of love between brothers and sisters is a major Hindu festival which fall in the full moon day of the month of Shravana in North India . It is marked by sisters tying a protective amulet on the wrist of their brothers for their long live and protection. The brothers on their part pledge to protect their sisters against any danger.

Is indeed a very nice opportunity for a celebration missing in the W- European world and maybe more valuable than Valentine da , which in his commercialized form coming over from the US makes no real sense at all.
