Rakhi Purnima is a festival celebrated in India to share a bond of love and protection between brothers and sisters. We Indians are known for our traditions, and people from far off countries are also interested in learning about our culture and traditions.
Every Indian knows why we celebrate this festival and you might be aware of the different types of rakhis available in the market like designer rakhi, traditional rakhi, crystal rakhi, fancy rakhi.
But for those of you who don’t know much about it, here’s the story, rather two stories. According to one story, Rani Karnavati sent a small piece of cloth to King Humayun asking him for protection.
King Humayun treated the cloth to be the rakhi and soon helped his sister, Rani Karnavati, fight against Bahadur Shah. This is a symbol of eternal love because Rani Karnavaiti was a Hindu whereas Humayun was a Muslim, still, he respected her intentions and helped her.
According to the second story, when Shri Krishna was wounded, Draupadi tore a piece of cloth from her saree and tied it on his wound. Shri Krishna was indebted to her forever for this kind deed and hence he protected her when Kauravas tried to assault her physically.
If this is the power of emotions and these are the ‘values’ that we have, then don’t you think that we can take it a step further? What I mean is we have our brothers serving as doctors, soldiers and all other professions too. What we, as sisters-can do to protect them?
When I send rakhi to my brother, I ask for protection from him but then the same way I pray to God for his well being. All this brings me to the thought of sending a crystal rakhi to my brother. I want all of you to benefit from it and hence I am sharing with you the best crystal rakhis that can help your brother to prosper, to stay away from negativity, to attain health, wealth and happiness in life.
When you go to a market you must have seen the rakhis made from different types of materials. Some use stones, rudraksha, decorative materials, cartoon characters, swastika and the list is endless.
Have you ever seen rakhis made from crystals? Surely they cost a bit more than a simple traditional rakhi but they are meant to last longer. They are meant to be kept tied on the wrist even after Raksha Bandhan is over. These rakhis have special crystals that can help to overcome specific problems that one is facing in life.
I choose the rakhi depending on the area where my brother needs to improve. For example, if I want him to be full of love and to be surrounded by the energy of love, I choose a rakhi with a Rose Quartz for him. Similarly, you too can choose the best rakhi for your brothers.
Here I will help you to choose the best rakhi by mentioning the qualities of the crystal so that you can get an idea of whether it suits you or not.
If you have a brother who is always stressed by work, has hormonal problems or has a negative attitude towards everything then a rakhi made using Amethyst crystal will work wonders for him.
Amethyst crystal helps to:
Protect, heal and purify the thoughts and the body.
Clears the negative thoughts
Promotes sobriety
Helps to get a better sleep
Relieves pain and stress
Helps in gaining spiritual wisdom.
Lapis Lazuli Designer Floral rakhi
Lapis Lazuli is a crystal that is too good to develop intuitive skills. It is a crystal that guards against psychic attacks. You might wonder why I am talking about psychic attacks, but let me be very clear. The psychic attack doesn’t always mean ghosts or possession. It means that we might be under the influence of certain energies that are not good for us.
If you want to develop the personality of your brother then this can be a great rakhi because it promotes qualities of honesty, compassion, creativity, clarity in thoughts.
This can be particularly useful if your brother is having a stressful job or if your brother is a student struggling with his studies. It is because of the following qualities that the Lapis Lazuli crystal possesses.
I think this is the best crystal rakhi to gift because of the fact it boosts immunity and cures respiratory issues and which is very much essential post covid.
Rose quartz is my personal favourite. It is because it soothes the heart chakra. I know in detail about all chakras because I am a Reiki practitioner but for you, it is enough to know that pink is the colour of love and it helps to build trust, restore peace in relationships, encourages love, respect and trust.
Energized Tiger Eye Flower Designer Rakhi
If you want more precious gifts from your brother on each Rakshabandhan, gift him a tiger eye rakhi. This is because it boosts success, gives motivation, releases fear, anxiety and self-doubt. It helps to make conscious decisions correctly. This can be especially important for brothers who are still pursuing studies because it helps them to make proper decisions.
This orange crystal is truly a gift for all those who are pursuing studies. The Carnelian crystal helps to motivate, get a clear vision of goals, make the right career choices and helps to strengthen from within.
Energized Tiger Eye With Hamsa Designer and Divine Rakhi
Hamsa is the symbol used in the Islam religion for protection. It is combined with a tiger eye crystal that keeps the negative vibes away. As said earlier, Raksha Bandhan is celebrated to share the bond of protection, so can you think of anything better than this?
It is up to you which rakhi you choose. Depending on the goal you wish to achieve, you can choose. My personal favourite is Rose quartz. If you want protection for your brother, you can opt for a tiger eye rakhi or Tiger eye rakhi with Hamsa. Alternatively, if your brother is studying then opt for Carnelian rakhi or Tiger eye rakhi. For relieving stress and stress-related diseases you can opt Amethyst or Lapis Lazuli rakhi. Choose any rakhi, it conveys the same meaning- BOND OF LOVE and PROTECTION!
