Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 The Makara Sankaranti is a holy occasion to pray to the Lord : Asatho maa sath gamaya (Lead me from unreal to Real); Thamaso maa jyothir gamaya (Lead me from darkness to Light); mruthyormaa amritham gamaya (Lead me from death to Immortality). Festivals connected with the Moon and the Sun are celebrated in order to drive into the minds of men the importance of mind control (Chandra or moon is the Deity of the Mind) and of clarifying the intelligence (Surya or the Sun is the Deity of the Intelligence). When the Sun moves Northward, that is 'Godward', the Intelligence too must proceed on the Godward path.- Baba Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today14th January 2004, Makara Sankaranti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
