Raksha Bandhan 2024: Raksha Bandhan, the biggest festival of brother-sister love, is about to come. This festival is celebrated on the full moon day of Shravan month. This year the festival of Rakshabandhan will be celebrated on Monday, 19th August. On this day, sisters tie Raksha Sutra on their brother’s wrist to protect him. She applies tilak. And wish him long life. In return, the brother promises to protect his sister throughout her life. This tradition of tying Rakhi to brother has been going on for centuries.
However, this time the shadow of Bhadra is going to fall on the festival of Rakshabandhan. It is said that brother should not tie Rakhi during Bhadra period. According to mythological beliefs, Shurpanakha had tied Rakhi to Ravana during the Bhadra period itself and Ravana’s entire empire was destroyed. Let us know from astrologers what they have to say about Bhadra Kaal on Rakshabandhan this year.
Astrologer Pandit Vedprakash Mishra told that this time the festival of Rakshabandhan is falling on Monday, 19th August. But Bhadra will start from 2:21 pm on Shravan Shukla Chaturdashi on 18th August 2024. It will end on Shravan Shukla Purnima Monday, August 19, 2024 at 1:24 pm. Only after this the auspicious time of Rakshabandhan will begin. Sisters should tie Rakhi on brother’s wrist only after Bhadra.
At the same time, National President of Kashi Vidvat Karmkand Parishad, Acharya Ashok Dwivedi said that Rakshabandhan will be under the influence of Bhadra. Since Bhadra resides in the underworld, it will not be considered very inauspicious. When Bhadra resides in the underworld or heaven, it does not have much effect on the inhabitants of the earth. Still avoid tying Rakhi for a few hours. Tie Rakhi on brother’s wrist only after Bhadra period is over.
Whereas Acharya Daivagya Krishna Shastri told that this year many auspicious coincidences are going to happen on Rakshabandhan. This time on Rakshabandhan, along with the confluence of Saubhagya Yoga, Ravi Yoga, Shobhan Yoga, Siddhi Yoga is also being formed. Since it is Monday, this coincidence is very auspicious. The interruption of Bhadrakal in Rakshabandhan will last till 01:24 pm on 19th August. After this, you can tie Rakhi on your brother’s wrist at the auspicious time.
