🔱 Raksha Bandhan Mantra for Tying Rakhi
One of the most sacred verses chanted during the Rakhi tying ceremony is from ancient scriptures. It invokes the legendary protection received by mighty warriors:
“Yenabaddho Balee Raaja Daanavendro Mahaabalah।
Tenatwaamabhibadhnaami Rakshe Maachala Maachala॥”
(Meaning: I tie you with the same Raksha (protective thread) with which the great demon king Bali was bound. O Raksha, stay firm, stay strong.)
This mantra signifies protection, strength, and steadfastness, symbolizing the eternal promise a brother makes to protect his sister.
