Raksha Bandhan

Trung LUU (Western Metropolitan) (13:39): I had a great opportunity on the weekend to join the Hindu Organisations, Temples and Associations of Victoria to celebrate the festival of Raksha Bandhan. This ancient Hindu festival is relevant to today’s world. It promotes universal fellowship, respect for women and embracing harmony, respect and love. Raksha Bandhan plays a significant role in promoting unity and celebrating the deep spiritual ties between brothers and sisters. It signifies the importance of family and family relationships and the fact that we all mutually rely on each other for support. I would like to extend my thanks to the World Hindu Council of Victoria and Hindu Organisations, Temples and Associations of Victoria for organising the event and inviting me to share the lovely experience. Events such as this represent the very best examples of the success of multiculturalism in Victoria and Australia by celebrating and sharing culture and tradition regardless of where you come from. This event proudly showcases the unique Hindu culture and tradition while promoting what unites us all. It is a wonderful event, and I do again thank Hindu Organisations, Temples and Associations of Victoria for this great opportunity. I hope they have many successes in the following years.
