Due to the love and unwavering faith of sisters,

Rakshabandhan is not just a festival, it is that strong link of Hindu philosophy which ties together protection and affection, duty and faith, tradition and future. The soul of India is their Hindutva culture, Teej and festivals, which fill every Indian with pride and self-confidence. From thread to religion, Rakshabandhan is considered a very sacred and powerful festival in the vast Sanatan culture. This is the moment when the Raksha Sutra is not only tied but becomes a resolution. It is not limited only to the relationship between brother and sister but it also symbolizes the resolution to protect religion, duty and intimacy in the society. The incidents of Rakshabandhan described in our scriptures teach us that it is not only a festival of blood relation but also a sense of protection and responsibility. After the killing of Shishupal, when Draupadi saw blood flowing from Shri Krishna's finger, she immediately tore a piece of her sari and wrapped it around Lord Krishna's finger. This stopped the bleeding of the finger. At that time, Lord Krishna had promised Draupadi that when the time comes, he will definitely repay the debt of each and every thread of this bandage. After this, Lord Krishna protected her dignity and self-respect by giving her an Anant sari at the time of her disrobing.

This incident is a witness to the fact that Rakhi is not just a thread but a symbol of protection, dedication and unbreakable faith. It is a divine resolution: the responsibility of protection, respect and self-respect. When a subtle thread of Rakhi connects with love, trust and belongingness, it not only creates a relationship between brother and sister but also becomes a bridge of religion, duty and compassion. And this bridge has been built on the holy land of Narela on every Rakshabandhan for the last 17 years and I am very fortunate that every year lakhs of sisters tie Raksha Sutra to me, and I proudly say that I am the brother of lakhs of sisters.

This is not a formal event but a spiritual resolution connected to my heart. Which is becoming more emotional, more widespread and more historic every year.

When I started this Rakshabandhan event in Narela Assembly 17 years ago. Then my objective was only one. To assure every sister that I am her brother, her protector and am always dedicated to her happiness. Today this event has become the world's largest Rakshabandhan festival, in which lakhs of sisters tie Raksha Sutra to me. It has become a symbol of a strong social trust, an unbreakable emotional bond and an immense intimacy. This year also the world's largest Narela Rakshabandhan Festival is going to start from 11 August. In which lakhs of sisters will tie Raksha Sutra to me and give their invaluable blessings. When sisters tie rakhi to me, I am present not just as a public representative but as a member of their family. Every rakhi reminds me of my duties. Every smile inspires me and the faith in the eyes of every sister gives me strength. This festival has become not only mine but the festival of every Narela resident. It has a wonderful inclusion of social harmony, women empowerment and the values ​​of Sanatan culture. On this holy festival of Rakshabandhan, I not only get the thread tied but also tie the knot of security, self-reliance, respect and self-esteem in the life of every sister. It is my resolution that as long as I am alive, every sister will have the belief that her brother stands with her in every situation. When sisters come to tie rakhi to me, some are small girls who are tying rakhi for the first time, some are old mother-like sisters who come with blessings and faith in their eyes. This scene is not only emotional, it stirs the soul and also inspires the resolve to serve in life. Rakshabandhan is a responsibility, a blessing and a resolve for me.

Every Rakhi reminds me that my life is only for service and for the respect and protection of my sisters. The Raksha Sutra tied by my sisters is not just a thread tied on my wrist but a vow to empower my sisters. Today, Narela Vidhan Sabha is not known as just a Vidhan Sabha but as Narela family. Here every Hindu festival is not just a tradition but flows as a lively stream of celebration and gaiety. Here the light of Deepawali illuminates not only homes but hearts as well. The colours of Holi connect souls, not just faces. The Raksha Sutra of Rakshabandhan is not tied only on wrists but as a thread of dedication and sanskar. I say with pride that Narela is my family and not Narela Vidhan Sabha. Where we get to see a wonderful example of religion, culture and social harmony.

For me, every sister is the shadow of Draupadi, whose dignity was protected by Lord Krishna. Every sister is a symbol of Mother Sita, for whose honor Lord Shri Ram fought with Ravana and every sister is the daughter of Mother India, whose empowerment will make this country prosperous. Every sister of the Narela family is my strength, my inspiration and a symbol of my victory. Sisters, I promise that as long as there is breath in my life, as long as there is power in my actions, I will always be dedicated to the protection, respect, empowerment and self-respect of every sister. I once again bow to all the sisters on this holy festival and promise that as long as the wrist of your brother Vishwas keeps beating, the smile of every sister will be my top priority. This festival of faith of sisters is the inexhaustible capital of my life. Sisters, your love, blessings and affinity are my biggest strength.
