Makara Sankranthi marks the movement of the Sun from the southern horizon to the

northern horizon. This northward movement of the Sun has immense spiritual

significance. The north is symbolised by Himaachala. Hima means snow. It is

pure, untainted and soothingly cool. All these endow it with the quality of

Prashanthi (perfect peace). Achala means that which is steady and unshakeable.

Himaachala does not refer to the physical Himalayan mountains. It represents

that which is cool, peaceful and steady. From this day the Sun is said to move

towards such a state. The Sun symbolises the vision of man. The northward

movement of the Sun is a call to human beings to turn their vision towards that

which is cool, peaceful and unchanging, i.e. towards the divinity within .- Baba
