18th of August
Generally, any person in the world does not accept any kind of bond. The thing that he takes as a bond, he tries to cut down the same.
Love is the only bond in which everybody wants to get tied with. In this context, Rakhi is a unique and lovely bond. The love between the brother and sister has been assumed to be the most sacred of them all.
That is why, ubiquity of Raksha Bandhan has been expressed as the medium of mutual love between the brother and sister. Such a unique bond of love between brother and sister does not exist anywhere else in the world. At the beginning, this very ideology of the human being must have been assumed by our sages, to be the basis to imagine a festival like Raksha bandhan.

The meaning of the festival is ‘which ties someone to someone else’. This way Raksha Bandhan is not a festival but a Grand festival. It has gathered in itself many cultural, Social, economical and historical elements. Raksha Bandhan is a festival of affection, love and defense of tradition.
It is a festival of commitment of defense. This festival is related to emotions and sympathy. The emotions that the threads of Rakhi have, the thoughts that it represent, those emotions are the ones that make the life, very great. This underlines the difference between the humans and animals. The man can progress a lot by adopting a high level thought, in life.
Raksha Bandhan is a festival of granting strength to the relations of bond of love and cordiality. That is why on this occasion, everybody looks keen to get tied in one bond or the other. The Guru grants the thread of defense to the pupil and the pupil to the Guru.
In the ancient times , when the pupil, after completing the graduation, used to bid adieu to the Gurukul, then to get the blessings of the teacher, he would tie the thread of defense whereas the teacher used to tie the thread of defense with the view that the knowledge that he had gained, he would use that knowledge in his future, properly so that he would succeed in defending his knowledge along with the dignity of his teacher.
According to this tradition, even today the priest ties the thread of defense prior to any religious ritual and the host to the priest. This way, both of them tie the bond of thread to one another in order to defend the honor of each other. Then, Raksha Bandhan is such a bond where one thread ties the circumference of allegiance with the duty.
