Janai purnima

➤One of the great festivals of Nepalis is Janai purnima. Janai Purnima is celebrated on the full moon day of Vikram Samvat Shravan month.

This is also called Raksha Bandhan. Because this festival observes the bond of purity and security. This festival is celebrated by Hindu devotees all over the world. The two words Janai and Purni have their own meanings. Janai means "thread" and Purnima means "full moon". Janai means a sacred thread that follows the path of religion and truth along with the identity of a man. It basically means an informal process of accepting someone into a religion.           

 ********************************Happy Rakhi*******************************

➤Janai is a pure thread which is worn on the chest by a Brahmin chanting the purification mantra after bratbandha. This holy festival has different types of bratbandha in almost all religions but is known by different names. Accepting the mantra given by your guru, along with the order never to separate this thread from you, some mantra is received by the guru which should be recited in the morning and evening. It is believed that a person who follows this practice has complete control over his body and mind. The old janai should be cleaned once a year by changing the days of Raksha Bandhan.
