Published On: August 31, 2023

The Raksha Bandhan celebration at Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul was a unique and heartwarming event that highlighted the deep bond between the saints and the students. In a special ceremony, the saints tied rakhis to the students, symbolizing the spiritual connection and protection that the guru offers to the disciples. This gesture of love and guidance reflected the deeper essence of Raksha Bandhan, where the saints, acting as spiritual guardians, blessed the students with wisdom and care, much like the protective bond shared between siblings.

The students, in return, offered their respect and devotion to the saints, expressing gratitude for the continuous guidance and teachings they receive at the Gurukul. The celebration was further enriched with devotional songs and prayers, creating a spiritually charged atmosphere. Through this meaningful ritual, the Gurukul emphasized the values of unity, respect, and the sacred bond between a guru and his disciples, making the Raksha Bandhan celebration not just a cultural event, but a reminder of the strong spiritual foundation that underpins the Gurukul’s teachings.
