Rakshabandhan 2024: The holy festival of brother and sister holds special importance among Hindus. In Hinduism, no auspicious or mangal work is done during Bhadra Kaal. Bhadra is the sister of Lord Shanidev and daughter of Lord Surya. She is considered more dangerous than Shani, because her inauspicious sight can spoil the work being done and make life hell. Therefore, it is said in the scriptures that no auspicious work should be done during Bhadra Kaal.
The inauspicious shadow of Bhadra on Rakshabandhan 2024
In the year 2024, Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated on 19th August, Monday. This festival, which is a symbol of unbreakable trust and love between brother and sister, is under the ominous shadow of Bhadra. Therefore, sisters should not tie Rakhi to their brothers during this Bhadra period. Otherwise, it can have an inauspicious effect, which can create some new trouble in the brother's life.
From what time to what time is Bhadra?
Bhadra will start from the morning of 19th August and will end in the afternoon. Talking about the time of Bhadra, it starts from 5:52 am and lasts till 1:32 pm. Therefore, Rakhi should not be tied during this time.
Auspicious time to tie Rakhi in Rakshabandhan 2024
The auspicious time for tying Rakhi on 19 August 2024 is starting from 1:33 pm, which is till 9:07 pm. But Panchak is also starting from the evening on this date. In Hinduism, no auspicious work is done at the beginning of Panchak.
To avoid Bhadra, take the 12 names of Bhadra.
According to Hindu religious scriptures, to avoid the bad effects of Bhadra, one should chant 12 names. This pleases Bhadra. The 12 names of Bhadra are as follows:
1. Dhanya, 2. Dadhimukhi, 3. Bhadra, 4. Mahamari, 5. Gharana, 6. Kalratri, 7. Maharudra, 8. Vishtikaran, 9. Kulputrika, 10. Bhairavi, 11. Mahakali and 12. Insecure.
As stated in the scriptures, if any mistake is committed unknowingly, then these 12 names of Bhadra must be recited on that day. This relieves one from the inauspicious effects of Bhadra. It is believed that remembering, pronouncing and recalling these 12 names of Bhadra brings success in all tasks.
