Raksha bandhan 2025: The festival of Rakshabandhan reflects the sacred relationship between brother and sister. This year this festival will be celebrated on 9 August 2025, Saturday. Every year this festival is celebrated on the full moon day of Shravan month. On this day, sisters tie rakhi on the wrist of their brothers and wish for their good health, long life and happy life.
The tradition of Rakshabandhan is not only related to today’s era, but this tradition is also mentioned in Satyuga, Tretayug and Dwapar Yuga. Especially a story of Dwapar Yuga gives a new sense to this festival which is associated with Draupadi and Shri Krishna.
When the blood started flowing from Shri Krishna’s finger
According to a legend of the Mahabharata period, Lord Krishna killed Shishupala, which cut his finger and started bleeding a lot. Seeing this scene, Draupadi immediately tore a piece of her sari and tied it on Shri Krishna’s finger, so that the blood could stop. This incident took place on the day of Shravan Purnima.
Then Shri Krishna told Draupadi at that time that ‘I will never forget what you have done for me today. I will always protect you. It is believed that from then on the tradition of celebrating Rakshabandhan’s holy festival started, where a sister ties a defense thread to protect her brother.
When Sri Krishna protected Draupadi’s shame
Later, after some time, Yudhishthira had lost everything in the game of Chaucer, then he put even Draupadi at stake. Unfortunately, he also lost to Draupadi. Then on the orders of Duryodhana, Dushasan dragged Draupadi to a full meeting and tried to rip her. In that watch, Draupadi blindly remembered Sri Krishna with heart and then called. Hearing the call of Draupadi, Shri Krishna immediately remembered his promise which he had given Draupadi in lieu of tying a bandage. She made Draupadi’s sari so long with her Leela that misusing had fainted and fainted. In this way Shri Krishna had fulfilled his word.
