In Sanskrit, Raksha” means protection, “bandhan” means bound or binding. Raksha-Bandhan, meaning “Knot of Protection” is one of the most important festivals celebrated by Hindus throughout the world.  Though in general it portrays pure love between brothers and sister, however. it is quite evident to people at large that this esteemed occasion has gained worldwide prominence in the thriving era of globalization. The festival of Raksha-Bandhan has served as superlative approach for the propagation of the admirable Indian philosophy of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” means entire world is one family and it exhibits the beautiful relationship of love, care and affection among cross border culture and communities with the concept of universal brotherhood. Raksha-Bandhan is one of the beloved festivals of the Indian population living in Singapore.
Hindu Centre proudly celebrates Raksha-Bandhan program for the past 11 years to spread the message of universal brotherhood with cultural openness, community bonding and social cohesion among Singapore communities.  In Singapore, this has taken a greater significance by reinforcing ties among various communities in a show of unity amongst all Singapore residents regardless of race or religion.
