Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Happy Dussera to all SBOI group membersAs written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM Today Thought for the Day 12th October 2005 Vijayadashami Puja (ritual worship) and Yajna (sacrifice) are performed in order to remind you of the inner yajna which every one of you has to perform to save yourselves from fear, grief and anxiety. This is the yajna of offering in oblation, the egoistic desires and emotions, passions, impulses and acts into the flames of dedication and devotion. In fact, that is the real yajna, of which these are reflections and prompters. This yajna is only the visible symbolic representation of the underlying abstract Truth. Just as a child is taught to pronounce words by making it associate the sounds and the letterforms with pictures of the objects so named, through this kshara (temporary) symbol the Akshara thathwa (the Eternal Principle) is brought before the consciousness. - BABASai festival Resource: Dasara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
