The Story Behind Bhai Dooj
Mythological Origins
There are several legends that accentuate the significance of this festival. One such popular story is that of the Mahabharata, where Krishna visited his sister Subhadra after vanquishing Narakasura on Diwali. She welcomed him with ritual tika, presentation of special food, and prayer and Krishna gave back in return by presenting her with ornaments and permanent shields.
This sisterly benediction and brotherly guardianship was later immortalised as Bhai Dooj—a day of religious promise and care for one another.
Astrological Significance of Bhai Dooj 2021
Diwali’s Culmination Energy
Bhai Dooj arrives on the Dwitiya Tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Kartik, just after Diwali. and societal peace.
Dulha Tithi & Planetary Influences

- Sweet dishes (such as kesar kaju burfi or malpua) are made
- Collect things: roli, rice, tika plate, flowers, sweets, diyas, sweets, and Puja thali
- This preparation makes a warm, considerate setting for earnest blessings.
2. The Sacred Tika Ceremony
Brothers go to their sisters in the morning or afternoon
Elevated by scented fragrance or incense, sisters put roli (vermilion) and rice on their brother’s forehead
An aarti is done with blessed lamps
Sisters say: “Bhailo bhaijaan, mere Raksha Bandhan se zyada pyara tu hi-sada sukh aur lambe jeevan ka vardaan paaye.”
In 2021, sisters can include spiritual mantras such as “Om Sukhrupaya Namah” or “Om Brihaspataye Namah” to bestow positive energy.
3. Gift and Promise Exchange
Brothers exchange gifts—traditional or spiritual. Astroeshop suggests:
Energy-charged Yantras, such as the Shree Yantra for prosperity
Rudraksha beads to safeguard
Vastu crystals to infuse peace
Sisters, make sure emotional gifts are accompanied by a promise of commitment to look after them for life
These exchanges seal trust, gratitude, and exchange for the next year.

The family then comes together in a celebration feast after rituals. Regional cuisine in India may vary, but it fulfils the spirit of communal happiness and chemical blessing.
Spiritual & Astrological Benefits of Bhai Dooj
Family Harmony & Positive Energies
Earnest and sincere rituals generate positive energy channels within the family, sure to ensure harmony, mutual appreciation, and prosperity in a powerful lunar time.
Protection against Adversity
Good wishes and prayers said with deliberation can function as subtle astrological antidotes. The saying of Vishnu-Lakshmi mantras with roli tends to cancel out minor doshas impacting health or peace.
Health & Longevity
Sisters praying for brothers calls on the moon’s lunar energy—adding emotional balance, improved sleep, and body harmony. Aroma or herbal blessings add to these advantages.
