Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 All festivals observed by Bharatiyas (Indians) have a marvelous inner meaning. But men in general view them in terms of external observances and celebrate them with feasts and frolic. These festivals were really intended to be used for the exclusive worship of the Divine, to enjoy the bliss of that devotion, and to overcome pain and sorrow. These holy days were instituted for the purpose of getting rid of ignorance and cultivating right knowledge, the higher wisdom and cosmic consciousness. --Sathya Sai Baba Sanathana Sarathi, May 1989 From Digest II - A collection of Sri Sathya Sai Baba's sayings 01 JanuaryNew Year 14 JanuaryMakara Sankranthi 9 MarchMahasivarathri 09 AprilUgadi 18 AprilSri Rama Navami 06 MayEaswaramma Day 21JulyGuru Purnima 27 AugustKrishna Jayanthi 07 SeptemberVinayaka Chaturthi 18 SeptemberOnam 12 OctoberDasara or Vijaya Dashami 01 NovemberDeepavali 12-13 NovemberAkhanda Bhajans 19 NovemberLadies Day 22 NovemberConvocation of the SSSIHL 23 NovemberSai Baba's 79th Birthday 25 DecemberChristmas Source: http://sathyasai.org/calendar/2005fest.htmlDo You ?
