On the auspicious occasion of Raksha Bandhan 2025, Padma Shri and Khel Ratna awardee Deepa Malik, an Indian para athlete and motivational speaker celebrated for being the first Indian woman to win a medal at the Paralympic Games, experienced a blessed moment as the sacred Rakhi was lovingly tied by Brahma Kumari Sister Shivani.
Deepa Malik, who secured a silver medal in shot put at the 2016 Rio Paralympics, is also a businesswoman, swimmer, biker, and car rallyist, holding multiple Limca World Records. Beyond her sporting excellence, she is admired for her leadership as the former President of the Paralympic Committee of India.
This sacred act was accompanied by a profound reminder to look within, become our own protector, and embrace self-healing as the path to healing the world. The symbolic celebration of this divine bond filled the occasion with deep gratitude, spiritual inspiration, and the joy of heartfelt connections.
