Best time to tie Rakhi
This time there is Bhadra on the day of Raksha Bandhan, due to which the auspicious time for tying Rakhi is considered to be the best time from 1.25 pm to 9.36 pm on August 19.
In which direction should we keep the Rakhi while tying it to our brother
According to Jyotishacharya, it is very important for a sister to keep in mind the direction while tying a Rakhi to her brother. By doing this, both the brother and sister get auspicious results. Therefore, while tying a Rakhi, the brother's face should be towards the east and the sister's face should be towards the west. These two directions are considered the best for brother and sister.
Tying Rakhi on this hand of your brother will be auspicious
According to astrology, Rakhi should always be tied on the brother's right wrist. Because the right hand is associated with karma. Therefore, tying Rakhi on this hand is considered auspicious. Therefore, facing the north direction, apply tilak, sandalwood, roli, akshat on the brother's forehead and tie the Rakhi on the right hand.
Chant this mantra while tying the rakhi
Yen Baddo Bali Raja, Danavendra Mahabal:.
Das Tvam Pratigya Naam Rakshe Machal Machal:.
The meaning of this mantra is 'I tie on your wrist the same sacred thread that was tied to the most compassionate King Bali, which will always protect you in all difficulties.
If you don't have a brother then tie him up…
According to religious beliefs, if you do not have a brother, then you can tie a Rakhi made of Neem, Banyan, Amla, Banana, Shami and Tulsi. Amla, Neem and Banyan are considered to be the abode of Tridev i.e. Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. Tying Rakhi to these trees pleases all the three gods. Apart from this, whether you are cousins or brothers and sisters of any religion, tying Rakhi to them is also considered auspicious.
