Raksha Bandhan, Janai Purnima (Rishi Tarpani), celebrated every year on Shravan Shukla Purnima day, is being celebrated all over the country today with new Yajnopavit and Raksha Bandhan.

On the full moon day, Vedic Sanatan Dharma devotees go to rivers, lakes, ponds and ponds and tie the Rakshasutra from Guru Purohit. It is a religious belief that if the Guru Purohit wears Yajnopaveet and Doro (Rakshasutra) which is properly chanted, one will get protection from negative elements.

Devgana who was chased by demons in Satya Yuga, Guru Brihaspati prepared a law of protection, because of which the very strong demon King Bali was tied up, so I tie you up, this will keep you safe, don't get confused  The tradition of Raksha Bandhan, which is based on the mythological belief that they were protected by tying a rope, is still popular today.

That's why when doing Raksha Bandhan Guru Purohit  Prof. Dr. Ramachandra Gautam, the former chairman of the Nepal Panchang Adjudicatory Development Committee, informed that there is a Vedic tradition of tying the Rakshasutra, Rakshabandhan or rope as "Yen Badho Baliraja Danvendra Mahabal Ten Twan Pratibadhnami Rakshema Chalmachal". 

Rakshabandhan is chanted by Japa, Tapa and Pooja for the protection of human beings and is tied to the right wrist of the host by a Brahmin priest chanting the mantra of Doro Vedic tradition. It is mentioned in the Vidhana Shastra that Tagadharis of three varnas, namely Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vaishyas, should change their people (Yajnopavits) on this day.

For this reason, from Shravan Shukla Chaturdashi, they shave their hair, eat only one meal and stay clean. In this way, the Tagadharis who are fasting go to ponds, lakes, ponds, rivers and ponds in the morning on the full moon day and bathe with cow dung, ashes, datta and saptamritika. It is also called Shravani Snan.

After bathing, the sages are blessed with barley sesame seeds and kush, and a new man is changed (Yagnopavit) which is chanted by the Vedic Rudrabhishek method. Along with Arundhati, eight sages namely Kashyapa, Atri, Bharadwaja, Vishwamitra, Gautama, Jamadagni, Vashishta and Agastya are worshiped and offered, so this day is also called Rishi Tarpani. According to the Vedic guru tradition, the Yajnopavit, that is, Janai, is also called the Brahmasutra or the thread of knowledge. Devotees throng Pashupatinath temple premises, Ashokvinayak in Vasantpur and Math temples all over the country, including the bank of Vagmati river and Kathmandu valley, to tie the Rakshabandhan and make new vows.  

Kwanti tradition

On the full moon day, Kwanti made by mixing eleven types of pulses and soaking them with Tusa is eaten. It is a religious and ayurveda classical belief that eating food made in this way will not cause diseases in the body, cleanse the stomach and remove the cold from the body during the rainy season and transmit heat from within.

Dr. Vanshdeep Sharma Kharel, a doctor of Ayurveda, says that if you eat kwanti juice made by mixing different types of vegetables, the body's resistance to diseases will increase. He said that diseases such as cold caused by cold burial will also be cured by this.
