In Hinduism, Rakshasutra or Kalava is considered a symbol of good luck and prosperity. Special rules are also mentioned in the Vedic scriptures to tie it and take it at the appropriate time. Let’s know about these rules
Kalava significance: In Indian culture, religious traditions are not only associated with faith, but they also have a relationship with deep spiritual and energy balance. One such major religious symbol is Kalava, also known as Molly or Rakshasutra. It is an auspicious cord made of red and yellow thread, which is tied in hand during worship, sacrifice, fasting, rituals etc.
The colors used in Kalave are not selected only for decoration or tradition, but a deep astrological secret is hidden behind it. Red color is considered a symbol of Mars, which is associated with courage, valor, energy and prosperity. At the same time, yellow color is to the Guru planet, which represents knowledge, progress, safety and righteousness. When these two colors are together in the artwear, it acts as an energy shield for both the body and the mind.
In Hinduism, it is believed that if worship or any auspicious work is started by tying Kalava, then the blessings of the deities are received. It is a tradition for men to tie it in the wrist of the right hand and in the left hand for women. It not only protects against negative energy, but also strengthens self -confidence and belief.
It has often been seen that people tie Kalava with reverence, but ignore the rules to removing and re -tying it. According to religious texts and traditions, Kalava remains impressive for 21 days. After this period, its auspicious effect starts decreasing and if it is allowed to remain in the hand for a long time, it can have an opposite effect.
Some people tie a new kalava over the old artwear, which is completely wrong. This causes the old energy dominates the new artwear and its effect becomes inactive. Therefore, it is necessary that old artwear should be removed firstly and then a new kalava is tied in an auspicious time.
It is important to take care of some things while removing Kalava. It should never be thrown into a dirty place or dustbin. Since it is a sacred object and is associated with worship, it is necessary to respect it. The best way is to press the artwear into the soil of a pot or flow into the flowing water. This also does not harm the environment and also keeps religious dignity.
After removing the old kalava, the new Kalava should be tied in auspicious day or auspicious time. Especially on Thursday, Monday or Saturday, it is more beneficial to do this work. In addition, while tying the kalava, keep in mind that it is wrapped on the wrist three times and then worshiping and tied, so that its full effect can come down in life.
