Raksha Bandhan..."Sweet relation"
"Happy Raksha Bandhan to all"
Brother sister has relationship with nectar and poison.
Both fight each other always,
But mutual love also reflects in those quarrels.
<<<<>>>>
My dear brother,
The precious gift sending by god,
When i 'm so short,
In kidding way,
Everyone says to my brother,
You give your short sister to me,
I will give you toys,chocolates,ice creams...
But he was not ready to give anyone.
He loves me,
In childhood a lot.
"perfect sweet relation''
Every thing he share with me like toys,chocolates etc.
And always give the biggest part.
He is my hero,
But i fear him a lot
On the occasion" Raksha Bandhan"
I prayed to god...
He always with me...
My dear brother,your everloving sis.
''Happy Raksha Bandhan to all"

Happy" Raksha bandhan"to all
"perfect sweet relation"
Thanks for reading.
The bond of love The bond of Trust
The festival which truly celebrates
the bond between a brother and a sister (siblings and cousins)

Celebrated in the month of August on a full moon day(purnima)
Known as Rakhi Purnima

Rakhi-The sacred thread ,
which the sister ties on the wrist of her brother .
This festival is known
as Raksha Bandhan

Raksha - means to protect
Bandhan - To be bound (Bond)
Raksha Bandhan - The Bond of Protection
A festival celebrated by Hindus all over the country.

The Celebration
The sister buys a Rakhi for her brother
Prepares or buys sweets for her brother .
On the auspicious morning ,
The brother and sister both deck up in their traditional fineries.

The sister readies a plate full of sweets ,
with a little vermilion soaked in water
along with a few rice grains ,  to be applied as vertical mark (tilak) on the brother's forehead.
Believed to blessings from the lord .
A lit lamp for aarti
and the Rakhi(sacred thread) which she ties on the brother's wrist ,
wishing him the best .

The brother in return promises to look after her and presents her with gifts .


* This is not a poem , more of an account of the festival and the celebration.
With time and distances it is not always possible to bring in the festival together.
However, the sister mails across the Rakhi  to the brother, as I did :)
*

Have beautiful memories of this festival from my younger days , celebrated with siblings and cousins alike .

Thank you all for reading !!
This year ,The  festival is on 7th of August , that's today .
Happy Raksha Bandhan to all brothers and sisters ..
Familial the ties siblings we are
Brought up with love care discipline and protection
Values inculcated deep
Respect and love we all each other
Hold it strong in the heart
Hurt we can never bring to each other
Stand together in testing times forever
Raising high the baton of love today
Passing it on to the generation next
To relay it in the timeless tomorrow
Raksha Bandhan - the festival of the bond of love and protection, shared by brothers and sisters .
The sister ties a sacred thread / amulet on the brother’s wrist , and prays for the well being and protection of her brother.
The brother promises the same and showers the sister with gifts .

Sare jahan se pyara ye hindostan hamara,
Na ruke the hum na rukenge kabhi,
Badhate chale jayenge lekar yahi nara,
Sare jahan se pyara ye hindostan hamara,

Geet gate chalenge, hath milate chalenge,
Raksha karne ka pran lekar hum apna sar katate chalenge,
Na jhukaye the hum, na jhukayenge kabhi
Mita denge khud ko apne desh ke liye yahi hain pran hamara,
Sare jahan se pyara ye hindostan hamara,

Dekhlo ai dusmano hum pith pichhe war karne wale kayar nahi,
Hum sher hain apne desh ka tum jaise kayar nahi,.
Uncha rahega sda ye TINRANGA hamara,
Sare jahan se pyara ye hindostan hamara,

Kaise bhula de wo sahidon ki purani yaadein,
Jinhone khud ko mita di es desh ki suraksha ke liye,
Chhod chale gye wo khun se latfath yaadein,
Etihas ke panno me likhenge dobara,
Vishwa me sabse uper rahega
Ye hindostan hamara,
hindostan hamara......
IT IS DEDICATED FOR ALL FREEDOM FIGHTERS OF INDIA. EVEN THEY ARE NOT ALIVE BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS ALIVE IN MY HEART.

Na amiro ki basti mein rhta hu
Na hi gareebo ke aashiyane mein
Middle class ka hua
Middle mein rhta hu

Na pahali pankti ki pehali seat pr baithta hu
Na hi aakhar mein khada rhta hu
Middle class ka hu
Middle mein rhta hu

Na croro ka kabaar  hai
Na hi gulabi note hazar hai
Middle class ka hu
Meri jarurate saman hai

Na luxury car hai
Na nhi cycle apni bekar hai
Middle class ka hu
Auto,riksha, paddle chalna
Apne liye aam hai

Na meri girlfriends char hai
Na hi single rhna izzat ka swaal hai
Middle class ka hu
Apne yaar,dost shandaar hai

Na aasman chhuti imarto par likha apna naam hai
Na hi sadak kinare bitati apni shaam hai
Middle class ka hu
In dono ke beech
Kaat leta apni raat hu

Na videsh ghoomnta hu
Nahi sehar se bahar jaana muskil samjhta hu
Middle class ka hu
Apna desh pura ghoom lena bhi bahut samajhata hu

Na sir jhukane wale log hai
Na hi sir jhukane wale hum hai
Middle class ka hu
Sabko gale lagana hi
Apna dharam hai

Na hi ac mein kaam karta hu
Na hi dhoop mein pasina sukhata hu
Middle class ka hu
Pankhe ke niche apna kaam karta hu

Na suraksha karmi apne pass hai
Na hi sarir apna lachar hai
Middle class ka hu
Apni jaan ki raksha apne hath hai

Na chhapan pakwan banate apne maharaj hai
Na hi khaali pet sota apna pariwaar hai
Middle class ka hu
Meri maa ke haath mein hi sara sawaad hai
Brother Dearest,

Happy Raksha Bandhan

Tiny beads n delicate strings, yet very strong is the bond.

Tells a sister to her Bro. With this, " of you, I am very fond".

With good wishes beautiful n many, she ties it on his wrist.

Kumkum, rice, flowers, feeding a sweet, indeed long is the list.

A beautiful gesture of appreciation n love,  festival is.

It's practice centuries old, rather thousands of years old is.

May all my brothers alwaysssss very happy stay

Wish you all I do, happy Raksha Bandhan Day.

Your Ever Loving Sis
Anar

Mujhe dar nahi hai Duniya ka
dar nahi hai andere ka
dar nahi pyar mein kone ka ya
pyar mein ko kohne ka

Mujhe dar nahi ghum hone ka
mujhe dar nahi girne ka
mujhe dar nahi hai harne ka

Kyuki bhai, mujhe pata hai ki
jab zaroorat pade
aap kade honge mere baju iss duniya ke samne

Andere se aap bhi darte honge
par rahoje mere sath
mujhe darate hue ya pir mera majak udate hue

Jab pyar mein kohi hui main
gussa zaroor karte honge
par chedne ka mooka nahi chodoje

Jab pyar ko he koya
rahoge pass
thamke mera hath

Kabhi kabhi mein rasta bakat ke ghum ** jati hoon
teri gabrahat ** ya na ** teri baduri ki lambhi kisse me
par kisse ke akhar main
tum hamesha mujhe dond loge

Mujhe dar nahi hai Duniya ka
dar nahi hai andere ka
dar nahi pyar mein kone ka ya
pyar mein ko kohne ka

Mujhe dar nahi ghom hone ka
mujhe dar nahi girne ka
ya pir harne ka
kyuki bhai, aap har maane nahi diye mujhe.

I've got a handsome brother
Like I have, you may have to
Each day, I weave off his negativity
By praying to god sincerely
His life stays longevous  
Never shall he get upset unnecessarily
This thread, is a protection virtue
Never get upset, this heart gets upset to
Whether am far or near
Don't you forget this lives praxis
Brought 'rakhi' with love to tie on your wrist
Brought you lots of sweets and gifts
Let me embrace your forehead with sandlewood powder and wave this lighted lamp upon you
Tying this thread and serving these sweets
This day comes once a year with treats
My brother, remaining years of my life
I wish, be bestowed upon you...

*Raksha Bandhan*
Hai ek salona, bhai hamara
Jaisa hai mera, shayad waisa ** tumhara
Roz mein uski nazar utaroon
Bhagwaan se mein prathna karoon
Jeewan uska rahe salamath
Kabhi wo mujhse, bewaja roothe math
Hai ye dhaga, raksha bandhan
Dukhi math hona, dukhta hai maan
Mein paas hoon ya dur
Tum bhul na jana jeewan ka dastur
Layi hoon iss rakhi mei bhar kar pyar
Barfi, jalebi, peda aur ye uphaar
Tilak lagaoon, arti utaroon
Dhaga bandhoon aur methayi khilaoon
Din ye saal mein, ek baar aye
Bhai, meri umar bhi tumhe lag jaye...

Har janam hum sirf aur sirf aapke hi rahenge.



Dur jaane ki baat nahi kara kijiye,

Meri zindagi meri rooh aap hi ** jaan aye meriye.

Jahan aap honge milenge aapko hum bhi wahi.

Jis haal mein rakhoge aapke sang humesha khush rhenge.



Aapse hi judi hain humari saari khushiyan,

RAKSHA BANDHAN

A rakhee is a  beautiful bond of love,  faith n care

By tying it, a sister, shows  her love and care.

It also is a reminder of the lovely times, siblings share;

Beautiful memories,  love, fights,  squabbles, those a bro n sis share

A simple thread of cotton or silk, enough is, to say, "Bro I care for you"

"Bro. Keep that love throbbing,  irrespective of where I go, I will always love you".

"Bro, may God, you and your family alwayyyyysssss healthy  n happy keep "

"May He protect and guide you; and under His wings,  you safely keep "

From
Your loving sis.

Hey sister with love
Wish you this day all above
The bonds present on this earth
God is great; we are brother sister in this birth

Hey sister with love
Wish you this day of wonderful bond that,
Binds us and makes our attachment strong,
Realizes my duty first to protect you ever,
To be with you forever & lose you never
Next, to support you at times of joy and sorrow
Help you at any moment now or tomorrow.

Hey sister with love,
I want you to be with me,
To make this bond eternal &everlasting;
Would u agree with me that it won’t be at all contrasting?
This day we may not be together, it doesn’t matter
Whatever the reason may be, we couldn’t gather
Rather make this celebration non-materialistic
Beautiful in its own way, uniquely fantastic

Though we fight or argue   for while
Let’s make our relations as long as Nile

I know that at moment I am insane
Promise you that it won’t be same,

I Pray to God that we always be one
Let’s enjoy this carnival with lots of fun
Hey sister with love, Happy Raksha  Bandhan.

Mere priye paardarshi!



O mere priye paardarshi,
Apne muskurate hue
pratibimba ke saath
meri raksha karna!

Mera saahil nibha
chuka hai kuch
laazim vaaden!

Pyaas nahi
rahi, toh
sahan-sheelata
kese aayegi is
dardmand-dil se?

O naavik, apne
chhipe hue gamon se
Is aashiqe-beemaar
ka khyaal rakhna!

Apne khule dil se iski
sthiti aabaad rakhna!

Apne zameer ko dokha
mat dena!

Majnu ki tarah mat rona!
Majnu ke hausle ki tarah
jaroor chamakana!

-Shivpriya

In the quiet thread of Rakhi's grace,  
Lies a bond no time can erase.  
A promise wrapped in silk so pure,  
Of love that forever will endure.

Beyond the playful jests and cheers,  
There’s a truth that whispers through the years.  
Life teaches, in its gentle way,  
That bonds of heart can never fray.

A sister’s strength, a brother’s shield,  
In life’s great battle, neither yield.  
For in this bond, we truly find,  
The lessons that reshape the mind.

When storms of life come raging through,  
It’s love that guides, it’s love that’s true.  
And like the Rakhi, strong yet thin,  
It’s the simple things that let us win.

So cherish every thread you weave,  
In bonds of love, choose to believe.  
For Raksha Bandhan’s silent art,  
Is life's lesson: protect the heart.
Written on occasion of Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi .. for those who don't know .. Raksha Bandhan is a traditional Indian festival where sisters tie a decorated thread called a "Rakhi" around their brothers' wrists, symbolizing protection and love. In return, brothers promise to protect and cherish their sisters. It’s a day that blends playful sibling rivalry with deep familial bonds. While it started as a brother-sister tradition, it's evolved to include anyone you care for, celebrating the idea of safeguarding each other. Essentially, it’s a day where love and obligation intersect with a dash of cultural flair.
