We’ve put together 7 such heartfelt Rakhi messages that you can send to your brother or sister this Raksha Bandhan, along with something else that will make them feel special. Here they are:
1. Recipe
A lot of families bond over home cooked meals around the dinner table. If your family was like that, you can write…
“As Raksha Bandhan approaches, my heart overflows with memories of our cherished moments together. Do you remember the laughter that echoed around the dinner table as we exchanged stories from our days? From the aroma of Mom's cooking to the friendly bickering over the last samosa, every mealtime became a precious occasion filled with love and camaraderie. Even though we're apart this Raksha Bandhan, I find solace in reminiscing about those unforgettable dinners and the countless inside jokes we shared over our favourite dishes. May this day be a reminder of the unbreakable bond we share, woven not just by blood but by the countless laughter-filled conversations.”
To make this Rakhi message extra special, add a recipe for something you ate together as children, something that your mother made on special occasions or something you prepared together when you were craving a midnight snack. This will make this Raksha Bandhan the best they’ve ever experienced!

2. Playlist
Many sibling relationships are built on shared interests, one of them being listening to music together – be it in the car together on a long drive or just dancing around in your room. Maybe it’s just the fact that your taste in music was influenced by your sibling’s taste and it was something you shared while growing up. If this was the case, here’s what you can write…
“The other day, a song came on over the radio and I was instantly transported back in time. Do you recall the times we spent huddled together, sharing earphones, and exploring new tunes or revisiting our favourite songs? As Raksha Bandhan draws near, my heart brims with nostalgia, reminiscing about the countless moments we've shared filled with the melodies that became the soundtrack of our bond. Even as we find ourselves apart this Rakhi, may it be a celebration of our shared childhood and the irrevocable bond we have! Here's to the songs that have lifted our spirits, the rhythms that have guided our steps, and the melodies that will continue to unite us, no matter the distance.”

If you were the kind of sibling pair that always had your noses buried in books, or if your parents read you bedtime stories, you should use that as a jumping off point for your Rakhi message. This message could work even if you have funny memories of doing homework together. Write…
“Recently, my thoughts have been drifting back to the evenings we spent together, immersed in the world of books, and our shared struggles of homework. Though miles may separate us, the pages we turned and the lessons we learned together remain etched in my heart, binding us with the timeless thread of sibling love. Each equation solved and every chapter mastered became a testament to our teamwork and unwavering support for one another. May this Raksha Bandhan be a celebration of our shared love for learning, storytelling, and the simple pleasures of spending time together.”

Each journey is a tapestry woven with laughter, adventure, and the bonds of our shared experiences. From the sandy shores of beaches to the towering peaks of mountains, we explored the world hand in hand, creating memories that would last a lifetime.
