Bhai Dooj History-Significance of Bhai Dooj-Different Name of Bhai Dooj

Bhai Dooj History

According to the Hindu Mythology, it is considered that the God of death, Yamraj, had visited his lovable sister named Yami (Yamuna) at this special day. His sister welcomed him by aarti and tilak ceremony. She offered him a garland and special dishes including sweets to eat. He had returned her sister a unique gift as a symbol of his love and care towards her sister. At that day Yamraj had declared that the brother who would receive tilak and aarti by their sister, he would never be frightened. That’s why the same day is called as the Yama Dwitiya.

According to another story, Hindu Lord Krishna had returned to his sister, Subhadra, after killing the demon king Narakasur where he was welcomed by his sister with tilak, aarti, sweets and flowers.

Significance of Bhai Dooj

The essence of the Bhai dooj festival is that it is celebrated to strengthen the love between brothers and sisters. It is a day of food-sharing, gift-giving and reaching out to the innermost depths of the heart. Brothers and sisters indulge themselves on this day by giving each other gifts.

About Bhai Dooj

 

After Diwali, comes Dooj- a festival meant for brothers and sister.The name Bhai Dooj literally means as the festival dedicated to brothers, and falling on the second day after the new moon.The bond of love between brothers and sisters is glorified with the celebration of Bhai Dooj.Bhai Dooj  is generally based on the relationship of the brother and sister, a great festival in Hinduism. It is believed that every brother who gets a meal and a Tilak or Tika on this day from his sister will never go to hell.

Accordng  to religious scriptures, Yamaraj, the God of death, went to visit his  sister's house after a long period of separation. His sister, Yami was  very happy to see him and welcomed him by putting an auspicious mark on  his forehead for his welfare. Yami and Yamraj then shared a meal. He was  so pleased with his sister's reception, he proclaimed that every year,  on the dooj day, if a sister puts a tilak on her brother's forehead,  then no one can harm her brother. Till date, this tradition is followed.  Sisters perform puja for their brothers safety and well being. Brothers  in return give gifts to their sisters as a token of love.
