Hare Krsna dear devotees

I have just the following message to Balarama. I haven't spoken to Him since He wished me on Diwali. Although I address Him by His present name and not Balarama. Last time I spoke to Him being Balarama. He said that He is prepared to become Sesa Naga for my sake. That was many years ago.

What should I do with this rakhi which was offered to Balaram ji
Posted by Akshit on November 4, 2025 at 3:53pm
Hare Krishna to all the devotees

All glories to srila Prabhupada

This raksha Bandhan one of my cousins who live in Delhi, came for raksha Bandhan, although she got the Rakhi which was offered to Balaram ji on Balaram jaynti. Although she got it for her brother, but he liked another one so by the mer u of Balaram ji I go to wear it. She said that I should take care of it even after removing it, and so I did.

But since it is made of threads I it breaking and now I don't know what to do with it. I can't just throw it and I dont know how to deal with it. Can anyone please guide me through.

Also what should we do with other rakhis too?

Have it arranged to be sent to me. I will ensure that it reaches Balarama. Although He is not on IDT He too lives in Delhi.

If the rakhi was offered to Lord Balarāma, you may flow it in a clean natural water body like a river, pond, or lake) — just ensure it’s not dirty or polluted. This is considered a respectful return of the offered item to nature, which is also part of Kṛṣṇa’s energy. Hari Hari.
