True Essence of Raksha Bandhan (Part 3)
Spiritual Significance of Raksha Bandhan
The festival of Raksha Bandhan begins with exchange of greetings, applying tilak, tying the sacred thread, offering sweets and then exchanging gifts.
1. Greetings – Our every thought and word for everyone should be a blessing. Irrespective of their sanskars and behaviours, we create only pure thoughts and words which empower them to change their sanskars. We radiate blessings to them which become their reality and change their destiny. Let us delete all the past hurt that we are still holding on to, because they radiate only impure vibrations to us and to others.
2. Tilak – We apply the tilak on the centre of the forehead, as a reminder to open the third eye, the seat of the soul. Applying tilak means to awaken to the reality that I am not this body, roles and relationships. I am a divine soul and each one I interact with is the same. This finishes our body consciousness of all that we have acquired in this life. Body consciousness is the foundation of all vices. Soul consciousness is the foundation of all virtues.
3. Rakhi – Rakhi is derived from the word Raksha, protection. Tying a rakhi is symbolic of our pledge to use our original sanskars of purity and love in every thought, word and action. When it remains tied on our wrist, a Rakhi is a reminder about the promise we have made to our own self.
4. Sweets – It is a reminder that our intentions and words must always be sweet. This creates harmony in our relationships.
5. Gifts – Let us choose any addiction, habit or sanskar which has been troubling us and give it up on this Raksha Bhandhan. This is the best gift we can give ourselves and our family.

Message for the day 15-08-2019
-----------------------------------------
Good wishes and pure feelings bring easy success while working at a task.
Expression: If there are good feelings for both the task and the one who is carrying out the task, then the result attained by those feelings is automatically special. The feeling of giving love and cooperation, no matter what anyone is like gives good wishes and pure feelings. There is a deep impact of such good feelings which transforms others too.
Experience: When I am able to maintain my own good feelings for others, I am able to enjoy the fruit of my own pure thoughts. I am not disturbed by temporary clashes that I have because of the different nature of the person I am working with, but enjoy working together. So there is also good feelings from the other person too and so there is easy success experienced.
