Spiritual Thought of the Day
“Between siblings flows a bond of trust — the love that protects and the blessing that endures.”

Day Significance
Bhai Dooj, also known as Bhau Beej or Yama Dwitiya, celebrates the deep and sacred relationship between brothers and sisters. Falling on the second lunar day (Dwitiya Tithi) of Kartika Shukla Paksha, it signifies love, protection, and gratitude — echoing the sentiment of Raksha Bandhan but with different rituals.

According to tradition, sisters perform an aarti and apply a sacred tilak on their brothers’ foreheads while praying for their long and happy life. In return, brothers bless their sisters and offer gifts, symbolizing mutual respect and affection. Even those separated by distance can connect spiritually through heartfelt prayers.
