Raksha Bandhan: A Festival of Love, Affection and Protection

The holiday of Rakhsha Bandhan, or Rakhi, is a celebration of the bond of love and the bond of family.

So many people wherever he goes are looking for peace and happiness; even people who seem to have everything - money and power - want more and are still not happy.
